You are going to hell

I agree with you that strict and psychotic aren't the same thing, but the rule in question seems to be thus: that if a woman defends her husband from attack by grabbing the genitals of the attacker... that the woman's hand should be cut off.

That seems more than "strict" to me.  You don't agree?

Heh, well, stoning for adultery is pretty extreme too is it not?

Yes--I would call them both extreme.  But at least I can understand wanting to punish adultery in some way--I think that cheating is generally a morally reprehensible thing to do.

But this is different.  This is a woman attempting to defend her husband; not morally reprehensible at all, in my view.

ETA: What kind of God would punish a woman for trying to defend her husband?
