Ok, cordex, now I'm just confused. 

The witches are going to geeet you.  I think.

Don't be alarmed.  Contrary to popular belief in places like Lubbock, they have neither mystic death rays nor imperviousness to the slugger of Louisville.  smiley

Oh, I gave my Slugger to some unarmed ladies of my acquaintance (not witches).  They had a creepy neighbor.  I have graduated to The 12 Gauge of Thor as a home defense weapon.

Ok, now I've got the image of Thor (the Marvel comics version) tossing Mjolner aside, and whipping a Mossberg 590 out from under his cloak...

Witches?
The Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur starts at sunset on September 21st.  Just what do you think a scapegoat used to be for?

Leviticus, Chap. 16

20 And when he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the tabernacle of meeting, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat. 21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. 22 The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness.

Doesn't sound so bad.

All well and good.  Until the occasionally slow witted God discovers that this his half brother Loki has modified the shells to shoot ballooning spiders.

What a waste of resources for the cops to bust a lingerie shop.  But as others have observed, it IS safer than going after REAL criminals.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Pardon me, my Puritanical side came out and I, quite understandably, confused Jews and witches.  grin

Seriously, I thought it was some pagan holiday or something.  I have a glaring weak spot when it comes to the Jewish calendar and holidays.

It's unbecoming and embarrassing.

Except your translation is bad.  It doesnt say "into the wilderness."  It says "to Azazel" which is interpreted to mean a high cliff with sharp rocks underneath.  They push the goat off onto the rocks....

Apparently they didn't find Rudy Gouliani in there.

It was a possibility you know.

Some of the laws about sexual activities and the like are a bit weird. Here in the U.K the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16, but don't you dare sell porn to anyone under 18!  rolleyes

The Day of Atonement is a day of fasting.

And Scapeful, even if your translation isn't bad, the end result is the same.  The goat died.

Wow, this is getting somewhat disturbing.  And I'm not just saying that because I'm (sort of) the goat.   shocked

I don't know what disturbs me more - the disturbing direction this thread has taken or the fact that you find something disturbing enough to disturb you.  Or something.
