Utah could become the first state in decades to enact a law codifying ritual abuse. Others passed similar laws at the height of a since-debunked satanic abuse hysteria.
The bill lists specific actions that fall under the proposed definition: abuse against children that includes animal torture, bestiality or cannibalism, or forcing a child to ingest urine or feces, enter a coffin or grave containing a corpse, or take drugs as part of the ritual.
If not, you could start in on the ones with the baby dunking buckets. Judging by the cleanliness of their holy water, there’s not a huge focus on hygiene. Probably some feces and urine swirling around in there which is likely to be ingested during the performance.
Depends. As far as I know only a few groups consider it to be literally body/blood and most are clear that they believe it to be symbolic. A lot of churches also just use grape juice now instead of wine so can’t get them on drug use even if alcohol were considered a drug
Wouldn’t this include celebrating communion?
My first thought was “wow, flds is not gonna like this”
Certainly seems like that could be an interpretation of the bill.

Most non-Protestant denominations (Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, etc.) teach that it’s a literal, miraculous physical change.
Huh, didn’t realize it was that wide spread. Well I retract my use of “only a few groups”
