The several hundred sects that make up that particular religion. Ya know, if one specific part of a group is a part, then the rest of the group is "the rest of" the group.

It varies, but I have had some of them be quite hostile when I start using my logic and forced knowledge of your fanfic to start tearing apart the inherent contradictions in your faith. Like the Bible being pro-choice. They get really mad when I tell them to look up Numbers 5:11-31 and other such verses.

Numbers 5:21 these curses shall be thrown upon you: May the Lord turn you into a curse and an example among all his people. May he cause your thigh to rot, and may your abdomen swell up and burst out.

man I didnt know abortions were curses and you could only get them if you committed adultery and slept with another man

I forgot the exact numbers then, the verses tell you to give your wife "bitter waters" to abort a baby if you suspect them of cheating on you. The Talmud goes into how to make bitter water, and it contains an herb that can cause an abortion. It's probably the most barbaric way I've heard of doing it, but it is in there.
