It wouldn't be such a bad question coming from a Muslim who was interested in if the meat was halal. The idea that anyone else gives a poo poo is just sad.

It's time for the war on Christmas, everybody! I got this one this morning on the ol' G+:quote:One thing I love about Thanksgiving is that nobody is afraid to say "Happy Thanksgiving" like they're afraid to say "Merry Christmas". Repost if you'll be saying Merry Christmas this year! I replied with something like: "Sorry people are trying to be inclusive during the holiday season. It must ruin your day when a random Target employee doesn't specifically congratulate you on your choice of religious celebration."

Make it like a King Cake, every turkey has a small razor hidden somewhere, and the winner who's mouth gets slashed open has to buy it next year. What I'm saying is, there are worse things then a blessing that never effects you being said before your turkey is killed.

Nah man, it's like how Muslims go to Muslim hell if they get buried with a pig or whatever. It has nothing to do with your beliefs or your deeds or your character or any of that, religion is all about magic spells and if you eat food that's been enchanted by a Muslim, God's hands are tied, he's gotta send you to hell. It's the same thing with the Evangelists who try to get all their friends and family "born again," they don't give a rat's rear end about anything but getting you to do the ritual that gives you level five protection from lakes of fire.

Amarkov posted:Have you ever seen Jack Chick's little comics? There's a sizable contingent of people who literally believe that incanting the words of faith triggers the spell of rebirth Jesus sealed when he died. This is pretty much correct. There is entering heaven through deeds (Catholicism) where good actions and being forgiven get you into heaven. Entering heaven by predestination (Calvinism) where the people who are going to heaven are absolutely going and the people going to hell are going either way and this is decided before you're born. And finally, entering heaven through being saved and born again where the only condition of getting into heaven is by telling God that you've been born again (Evangelical Protestants and by proxy, most of America's Christians).

Nope, much like how the only moral abortion is my abortion, what matters isn't the path you're on but the path you claim to be on. You can do pretty much whatever you want as long as you say the magic Jesus words, they force Jesus to forgive you so anybody who has a problem with you after that is a baby-loving liberal. They also force Jesus to hate anybody you hate, which is awfully handy. I'm not sure what happens if you happen to hate someone who's also said the magic words (I think they're generally either just pretending to be a Christian or they're still a scumbag but they're at least better than someone who hasn't said the magic words) but logic is Satan's tool anyway.

See this works especially well when you have a direct relationship with Christ who communicates to you directly through feelings. People who feel that a certain notion is correct then assume that Jesus Christ is sending them those feelings and they have to be correct no matter what because, you know, Jesus's powers are so huge as to be unknowable. (Except through the feelings they get while praying.) These are, by the way, the paraphrased words of many of the less-thoughtful religious people who I've encountered while they try to argue with me about biblical morality or the way that religion should intersect with public life.

I like how we're supposed to reject socialism because a cigar maker said so in 1918 and how socialism is somehow the same thing as communism, given the fact that they chose to imply that communism and socialism are bad without giving any reasons this is basically equivalent to the Proctor and Gamble Satanism scare from the 1980s. Did you hear about those awful liberal protestors who we choose to view as having a different moral standing than the Tea Party for no other reason than our us vs. them mentality? Well, I heard that pee pee doo doo they're bad people.

My hardcore Republican sister posted a link to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3ptmm8lAMM I am thinking that my response will be: If you are heading a household and are encountering financial strain would it be completely, totally out of the question to try to increase your income rather than slash your family's essential needs? If you say "no, that's not the same [as Republicans refusing to consider raising taxes]" then I think you have to acknowledge that balancing a federal budget and balancing a family checkbook are not remotely the same thing and cannot be compared no matter how catchy some guy's rap video is. I am still recovering from lots of Turkey, Pie, and Wine, so please correct me if this sounds dumb. LuckyDaemon fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Nov 25, 2011 |

I don't think increasing your income needs to be part of the analogy. Whole thing's a household, right? So by that token we have a fat lazy greedy uncle living with us, eating all the food, taking any money that gets left out, borrowing our cars and then wrecking them in drunk street races, and smoking all of poor little Jimmy's pot that he needs for college. Nobody's happy about this, least of all Jimmy, but he's family and mom and dad refuse to do anything about it lest he go find some other family that loves him more. After dad makes it clear for the umpteenth time that he will cut Jimmy's allowance a thousand times before he so much as suggests that Uncle Saltporker lift a finger to help out, a fuming Jimmy storms off to the room he has to share with his three brothers and sisters because their uncle needed all the other bedrooms for some reason. His brother Jeff asks him what's the matter, and Jimmy grumbles about their uncle, whose lovely ways Jeff is all too familiar with. So the two of them talk their sister Michelle into going with them together to talk to mom and dad about this problem, thinking that maybe when they can see that Jimmy isn't alone on this issue they'll pay more attention to him and maybe do something about the household's real problem instead of putting band-aids on everything and insisting things are going to be fine. Their other sister Sarah on the other hand breaks down crying and says that the three of them are communists and asks why they're being so mean to their poor uncle. They try to explain their position to her but she won't have any of it and she tells them she hopes someone shoots them and they die. Epilogue: Later someone does shoot them and they do die. With dry eyes she tells everyone who will listen that she is very sad about it and what she meant was that she hoped someone would shoot them with a Super Soaker and they would have to change their clothes. Uncle Saltporker pats her on the back and says, "welcome to any party you want really all the ones with any influence are in my pocket"

Mom and dad are looking at the bank statement at the end of the month, there's a pile of expenses all dwarfed by the $685 billion dad spent on guns. Mom gives him a concerned look and says, "how the gently caress did we spend so much on food this month?" "I don't know," says dad, "but I guess we're gonna have to cut back. Billy's what, thirteen now? I think it's time he found himself a job."

I remember getting a "World Cultures and Religions" class in 7th and 10th grade in NC. But for many people, I think those classes are sort of in one ear and out the other. Growing up I was raised Methodist, but my dad and I discussed world religions somewhat often (often enough that I still remember them). I probably owed most of what I knew about Islam (prior to college) to those occasional conversations than to the six hours of notes and quizzes from school. I don't think they even touched on the differences between Sunni, Shi'a, or Sufi in school. Ultimately, most Americans just don't see anything that is outside of America as being worth learning. And if it happened before 1776 and doesn't involve God, gently caress that.

I remember getting a run through of the major world religions in high school and possibly earlier, and this was in a small school in the middle of nowhere, in a county which is mostly Protestant except for the Catholics. It does happen, even in rural parts.
