Reply #18: I Empathize with the Amish - My Religious Freedom is being oppressed [View All]

[xotoxi]

I understand what the Amish are going through with regards to the disposal of their waste products.

I am a member of a little known religious group call the "Sewish". In fact, our religion is so small that it is only comprised of me and my wife.

We firmly believe that our bodily waste should return freely and unprocessed to the ocean. Therefore, we stool into a nearby river.

Additionally, I also follow some of the Garbish principles as well, whereby my garbage must also flow freely to the ocean. I do not however follow all of the Garbish traditions, such as allowing my garbage "one month of ripening by The Creator". I find that practice particularly disgusting.

So, like the Amish, the Sewish and the Garbish are also oppressed in how we dispose of waste products. I am glad that I don't live in Pennsylvania.
