If you demonstrate the chicken you will be butchering, they will be encouraged to eat you. Contrary to popular belief, your ancestors were neither bad nor nonexistent. Instead of acting in accordance with what you believe is right, follow your own judgment. The deceased are here, and they always will be. no matter how strongly you disagree…CONTINUE READING>>
