Do you know why orthodox jews torture and kill chickens? Apparently, they do it in an attempt to transfer their sins onto the chickens, i.e. they think that they can trick God into punishing chickens for sins that their jewish torturers commit:
Quote:
A Raw Deal for Chickens, as Jews Atone for Sins
The practice, called kaporos or kapparot, is meant to transfer a person’s sins to the chicken. “If you’re going to die during the year, maybe the chicken will die instead,”

Quote:
Kapparot is a custom in which the sins of a person are symbolically transferred to a fowl. The custom is practiced in certain Orthodox circles on the day before Yom Kippur (…) This is my exchange, my substitute, my atonement; this rooster (or hen) shall go to its death, but I shall go to a good, long life, and to peace. The hope is that the fowl, which is then donated to the poor for food, will take on any misfortune that might otherwise occur to the one who has taken part in the ritual, in punishment for his or her sins.

What do you think about this belief, folks? Are orthodox jews right? Is it really that easy to fool God?
