The only example in your link is one in which Raja Harishchandra refused to sacrifice his son and had to suffer the consequences. It's the opposite of what Abraham did.

While it was legal widows were encouraged to perform sati. Even today Hindus honour a sati ma if they have one in their family tree

I see no reason they should not be honoured. The first Sati was the wife of Shiva who jumped into the sacrificial fire when her husband was insulted. Every subsequent women who chose to end her life is called Sati in her honour.

In fact, it was a common practice in Europe, Egypt, China and even Japan.

At least the animals we kill are for consumption. The meat is also for distribution amongst poor. Do you have a vegetarian equavalent? The animals you kill are for $$$. Is money one of the things you hold sacred?

A VEgetarian equivalent of wanton killing ? that is an oxymoron. A Vegetarian by his very lifestyle choice reduces his carbon foot print significantly and ensure enough food for everybody in this world. A Vegetarian eats per his need, not per his greed.

Life is the one thing we hold sacred.

You still have to accept that the Abrahamic god asked for a human sacrifice.

Secondly what kind of perfect being would want a father to murder his own son in order to prove his faith?

That's taking the wrong inference from the story.

It was actually a lesson in distancing oneself from worldly pleasures. Of all the blessings Allah bestows upon a human being his offspring is the most cherised.

By performing this symbolic act he gained the favour of Allah. And what did he get in return? He became the spiritual father of the major religions of the world. What other person can claim that?

LOL what ? Brahmin is a choice of lifestyle based on your Guna, not a birth right.

 

[Crystal-Clear]

Funny you should say that. our Idols are pretty strong even today.

The Flying Siddha of Thiruvannamalai

Maha Ananda Siddha who sits and sleeps on fire.

I am not sure about Japan. But in China, a Chinese woman was more likely to fight/insult back when her husband was insulted. Sacrificing herself when her husband is insulted doesn't sound like Chinese.

Nope.

In Sati and Johar you kill yourself, you do not have the right to kill others.

So you eat live plants? Don't you kill plants before eating them? Or do you not consider plants to have life?

So is a widow who burns herself more honourable or a one that chooses to live?

 

[Nilu Pule]

Brahmins are more evil than the jews.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)

In 1968, Eberhard stated that the practice of widow burning was observed inside China, but was rare and influenced by India.[43] Chinese sociology studies that followed suggest that the practice was historically more widespread, far removed from India (near the Korean peninsula), and found among the Manchu people of China where a widow would ritually commit suicide after her husband died (Chinese: xunsi, congxun).[44][45][46] After her suicide, she was socially celebrated as a virtuous chaste widow.[45][47][note 4] This Altaic tradition was not limited to the Manchu people of China, but also found in other Chinese ethnic groups.[49] The practice of self-immolation and other forms of public suicide by widows were observed, for example, in Fukien province of southeast China, in some cases in duress after a rape attempt and in other cases voluntarily without duress.[50]

A similar practice of widow suicide to follow her husband or fiancé, states Hai-soon Lee, existed in medieval Korea, in accordance with the traditional Confucian ethos.[51] According to Martina Deuchler, this practice was praised as misok (beautiful custom), and the dead widow praised as "faithful wife", in the historic Korean culture and literature.[52]

Historical documents attest to the public self-immolation practice (self cremation, as shaoshen 燒身 or zifen 自焚)[53] among Buddhist nuns (and monks) in ancient and medieval China for religious reasons.[54][55][56] This was considered as evidence of a renunciant bodhisattva, and may have been inspired by the Jataka tales wherein the Buddha in his earlier lives immolates himself to assist other living beings,[57] or teachings in the Lotus Sutra.[58] The Chinese Buddhist asceticism practices, states James Benn, were not an adaptation or import of Indian ascetic practices, but an invention of Chinese Buddhists, based on their unique interpretations of Buddhists texts.[59] It may be an adoption of more ancient pre-Buddhist Chinese practices.[60][61]

In modern times, Buddhist nuns have used self-immolation as a form of protest. Thich Nu Thanh Quang, a Buddhist nun publicly burnt herself to death in front of Diệu Đế Pagoda in central Vietnam, as a mark of protest against the Vietnam War.[62][63][64] Her death triggered a wave of similar self-immolations by other nuns and monks as the war continued.[62]

You need a reminder as well. That did not happen in the Vedic age
