They also cannot cook their food in microwave ovens if pork has been cooked in there. A year or so ago there was a demand by Muslim employees that they have a separate microwave in the employee cafeteria for that reason.
Since they have more balls than the mainstream media. If you’re unhappy with that..well..that’s your issue.
They’re confronting evil, are you?
Christians SHOULDN’T eat meat that supports terrorism perpetrated by filthy koranimals under the guise of halal food.
I'd guess that you weren't a real good student in your religion class. Of course they covered that, if they covered the old testament at all (which they did). However, Pauls messages to us frees us from some of the old testament restrictions. The restriction on eating meat on Friday was a purely localized act of penance for, I believe, the conversion of Russia. The penalty for doing so was not based on the fact that meat eaten on Fridays was somehow more evil than meat eaten on any other day. The penalty was for denying that the church had the right to make such a rule. That rule could have been changed at any time (it was a rule) and I'm not certain that Vatican II had anything to do with it.
They’re not confronting evil; they’re only using anti-Islamic moves because they aren’t successful in getting Jamaicans to go home. They’re Mosley’s party without Mosley’s vitality or intellect.
No. I’ll eat what I damned well please. And if you have a problem with it, you complain to the Muslims.
Part of the reason was KSM’s nickname inside al-Qaida, Miniter explains. KSM was mocked as “KFC” – because he ate buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken while holed up in Pakistan after the Sept. 11 attacks.
KSM bought Pearl from his original captors and executed him on videotape in order to prove that, though he may have grown fat on fried chicken, he could still kill."
Excuse me? I got straight As. It wasn’t covered, period, in the Catholic grade school and high school I attended. I checked with my sibling who went to a Catholic girls’ hs, and it was never mentioned in *her* classes, either. Perhaps *you* attended a Catholic school where the laws of Leviticus were taught in detail. That may have been the choice of the school, the diocese, or the emphasis of the time. In the 1960s and early 70s, they were not, at least in my diocese.
I read the Old Testament extensively, and was aware of all the proscriptions in Leviticus. However, we were specifically taught that those laws didn’t apply to us, since Christ had liberated us to a new Law.
As far as Friday abstinence, Catholics were released from it by Paul VI in 1966, following the changes to the Church following Vatican II.

“Christians cannot eat meat dedicated to a pagan god”
Oh heck yeah I can. That makes it taste even better.
Still being a bigot I see
Glad to see that list, liar.
Yawn.
Thanks!
Don't care. If they're standing against the jihadis, then they are my brothers.
that was my point to you, you say that you read the old testament.....Perhaps your school didn't directly refer to the "meat sacrificed to idols" subject, but by assigning the old testament to be read, you were aware that it was there. I also pointed out that we, as christians, were not subjected to those prohibitions which they also taught you. I graduated from Catholic high school in 1957 and knew full well that Kosher, halal, whatever, had no meaning at all and they certainly wouldn't keep me from eating the meat. The problem with those who worry about the old prohibitions are those who take biblical quotes out of context, fail to put them in perspective, and assume that if it is in the bible at all it must apply to everyone....I think they leave out circumcision!!!!
Right on, PapaBear. Right on!
Actually, my school didn’t assign the OT as a reading assignment. That was something I did on my own. The fact that I hadn’t been circumcised as a part of religion, and that my family didn’t have to keep kosher, was enough to indicate that we Christians did not have to keep the OT laws.
I knew that kosher hot dogs were okay to eat, even though they had bee produced under dedication to Yahweh, the God of the OT, rather than Christ. I suppose that was why I assumed that it is perfectly permissible to eat halal meat - not that I’d ever knowingly do so. The few times I have walked into a halal meat market, the smell of rotting meat was enough to drive me out the door. I discovered why that day that I passed the local halal meat market getting a meat delivery. A plain panel truck was parked next to it, the back doors open. The truck was about 1/4 fill of skinned, unrefrigerated goat carcasses, just stacked on top of each other. The guys were simply hoisting them over their shoulders and walking them into the store.
I’m an adventurous eater. I’ve enjoyed goat in my day, usually highly spiced. Now I know why the flavor was masked with pepper.
