They usually have good reasons behind them, because nothing is that simple. There could history of cultures, and at times practical reasons as well.

Like I said, I usually end up following the rules anyway, but I will rather find out why because it's more reasonable and rational that way.

I don't want to be a mindless sheep, following things without at least knowing the reasons behind them.

Useless to ration with people that don't respect people's culture.

First of all, never have I once said that I disrespect people's culture.

Secondly, I was merely asking for the reason, and not asking how to disrespect a culture.

And lastly, it's "useless to rationalise", not "useless to ration". In addition, it wouldn't be rational if one were to just respect a specific culture without finding out why, don't you think?

Again...useless...

Note: typo on the 'ration', regardless of what you think

Sigh. A bit sad if this is the standard of Malaysian civil discourse.

This is some race culture or somebody put down the rule on their premise. Not all temple have such rule.

I understand you curious with such rules. Same as me. But if I cannot find out the reason, just wait the time come. You can visit the temple and ask too.

Religion have no logic.
