Knock down drag out open thread of all things precious to your doctrines and traditions.

Ok boys and girls here is a chance to defend what you hold dear and near to your religion. For years now I have seen threads that make statements that I do not agree with but can not respond to because they hide behind the guise of being a devotional, or a caucus, or ecumenical. So here is a chance for open debate for all things that have been closed to opposing views in the past.

There will be only two guide lines no personal attacks and no posting of numerous links in a response or making a point. If you can not argue a point don’t respond by posting links. Yes I know that it is not part of the posting religious guidelines, but this is my thread so I get to make up the rules.

I am limiting this to religion due to the fact I can not post it in both general discussion and religion.

If some one would like to start a thread like this in general discussion by starting off that they believe that Fords are better than Chevys or that Obama is better than a potato then do so. But please refrain yourselves not to bring up Fords or Obama.

One other thing if you do not post directly to me I doubt if I will know what you have said concerning a point so if you have posted to others and want my opinion then ping me. I do not have time to read all posts. With that said let the debates begin.

and if you look closely you'll see they are all enjoying a hamburger. With mustard.

And we all know where that led. I rest my case.

Only Mohammedans have a CENTRAL BELIEF in murder. Other religions may have committed the sin of murder - but it is not a core belief.

Forgive me but I respectfully disagree. Secular Humanists also have at their core the belief that murdering babies, the infirmed and old people is a good thing. This is why secular humanists and New Agers (Moderates and Liberals) are so strongly attracted to the party of Death. The democrat party. Only Conservatives and Christians (and some Jews) are all about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The rest are all about themselves and to hell with the rest of us.

Without going into a lot of detail this is how I see it in a nutshell.

Remember! Don’t eat pomegranite seeds unless you want to
spend six months of the year in hell.

Do drink the Kykeon and become Epoptes!

All hail Demeter whose golden plaits flow as only a
goddess’s does.

For where ever was there greater disparity between seeing and heaing.....Aristidies the Rhetor.

That’s my dogma and I’m sticking to it.

Did the celebration start early. You did not ping me and I don’t like being left out.

Maybe you are having a little too much fun?

No, continue, we have had too much seriousness this past few months.

Just start dreaming of gelded llamas ... that’ll help you compose a ban-worthy post.

Gelding lamas might get you kicked off a religion thread.

Now, that spicy "Beer Mustard", with the whole mustard seeds in it ... that is perfection on a bun.

Spoken like a Lutheran. Always trying to have the best of both worlds. All the Saints cry when you do that, you know?

Hey, mustard seeds are biblical. Tomatoes aren't. And mayo, well, it's just plain French.

The one-l lama,
He’s a priest.
The two-l llama,
He’s a beast.
And I will bet
A silk pajama
There isn’t any
Three-l lllama.*

*The author’s attention has been called to a type of conflagration known
as a three-alarmer. Pooh.

[Michael Palin translating: The llama is a quadruped]

JC: ...Que vive en los grandos rios como el...Amazonas!
(¡Amazonas!)

[..which lives in big rivers like the Amazon]

JC: ¡Tiene dos orejas, una corazón, una frente y un pico para comer miel!
(¡Olé!)

[It has two ears, a heart, a forehead and a beak for eating honey.]

JC: ¡Pero esta provista de aletas para nadarrrrr!

[But it is provided with fins for swimming]

All: ¡Las llamas son mas grande que ranas!

[Llamas are larger than frogs]

JC: ¡Olé! Pero las llamas son peligrosas a su usted ve una llama donde hay gente nadando, usted grita:...¡CUIDADO! ¡LLAMA!

[Llamas are dangerous! If you see one where people are swimming, you shout: Look out! There are llamas!]

Finally, a post I can get behind. The Christmas spirit is strong in that one.
