People do that anyway.

Balanced denunciations from the Talmud Quotes! compilation provided earlier:

On superstition: "Another manifestation of Divine immanence .... the Bath Kol was not always accepted as final." "The tide of sorcery .... in the later period even Rabbis succumbed [to], and credulity prevailed over faith." "Many customs are condemned .... perhaps evidence that they had been assimilated by members of the Jewish Community. Among these 'Amorite ways' are the following: 'A woman drags her child among the dead.'" On exclusivism: "We do occasionally meet with dicta which breathe a very different spirit [from universalism]. Typical examples are: 'A Gentile who occupies himself with the study of Torah is deserving of death ....'" "Harsh sayings ... with respect to non-Jews often spring from the conviction that 'Gentiles are addicted to licentiousness' (Yevamot 98a). The Rabbis were revolted by the low standards of conduct they saw practised around them." "Some of the bitter sayings were wrung from anguished lips under extreme provocation. The most criticized utterance of this type is: 'Kill the best of the Gentiles! Crush the head of the best of snakes!' .... His words expressed his personal feelings; but to quote them as illustrative of Talmudic ethics is grossly unjust." On unscrupulousness: "With regard to a girl it was urged that the father's duty was to secure a husband for her at an early age .... She was considered to have arrived at this stage when she was twelve and a half, although she ceased to be a minor when she passed her twelfth birthday." "Figures are, of course, exaggerated."
