Paperboy Posts: 41 Joined: 13 Feb 2008 | What draws my ire is what the twatbags get their knickers into a twist over what essentially amounts to microscopic quantities. The product does not contain more than trace elements (i.e. a few mols , if that) of alcohol, alcohol which probably arose from having a few lucky yeast survive the packing nibble away at the carbohydrates in the chip. This is comparable to eating a flatbread in which a few rogue spores have wandered into - hardly a one-way ticket to hell. Furthermore, these litigious idiots nitpick over a quibbling point - they read the letter of the law, not the spirit. al-Quaran forbids intoxicants for the sake of intoxication - getting drunk/high for pleasure. Cough Syrup and painkillers, to the best of my knowledge, are not haram if they are used to for their intended purpose. The sutras addressing intoxicants condemn getting wasted for the sake of getting wasted. If one gets drunk off of Doritos chips, then either A - they are the size of a microbe, or B - they ate laced chips. TITS or GTFO, and try not to misinterpret the word of God while you're at it!

You said exactly what I was thinking, exept that you seem a bit more angry than I. |

I'll assume that by "Christian" you mean "Protestant", since if you meant "Catholic", there would have to be five people in that room (Allah, Yaweh, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit). On that basis I definitely agree that the three of them would not get along at all. When you put three Alpha-males in the same room together, it's bound to get ugly. I mean, all three of those guys claim to be the One True God (tm), so at least two of them must be lying. Some would say that Jehovah and God the Father (whose name also happens to be Jehovah, or Yaweh, or I-H-V-H or Yud-Hay-Vau-Hay if you prefer) are actually the same entity, and I'd say there once was a time when that was true. But the idea of a God is a God, and people have very different ideas about those two boys nowadays, even if they still go by the same name. Hell, if you put the Episcopalians' Yaweh in the same room with the Catholics' Yaweh and the Methodists' Yaweh and the Baptists' Yaweh and the Pentecostals' Yaweh and the Seventh Day Adventists' Yaweh and the Jehova's Witnesses' Yaweh all together, they wouldn't get along either. Some of that lot would be big on nationhood (Kindgom of Dominion type stuff) for their followers, others less so. But I do agree with you that a true Christian ideal would ignore nationhood and focus on people. Nationhood is about being loyal to your in-group, and Jesus seemed to want people to understand that your in-group includes the entire human race. Unfortunate that so few xtians behave according to that ideal. The thread really should have ended with this:
That's pretty much the entire story right there. I couldn't resist shooting my mouth off anyway, but that's because I'm not especially wise. Thanks for tolerating me, and thanks for the compliment about my name. I was all proud of myself when I came up with it. |

Yeah theres plenty of it over here. The head of the Church of England almost got lynched the other week for simply opening a dialogue about Sharia law being incorporated in any way in the UK. People jumped on him thinking he wouldn't mind it taking over and wanted him to resign.
Though if you look into what he really meant was things like Muslim weddings and things being recognised by English law so they have the same rights as Christian and Jewish married couples. And generally just allowing them to worship as they see fit without the English law interrupting (unless what someone wanted to do was truly wrong).
