Stupid religious idea of the day

It wasn’t so many years ago that some Catholic schools would not allow children to attend if they had divorced parents. :rolleyes:

That is doctrinally consistent, after all, we all got our sinful nature from our original ancestor pair.

I remember that. We had a new kid in school who just moved and our first divorced parents person. He said other Catholic schools would not accept him due to the recent divorce.

This was 1983, however.

I’m sorry, but that was pretty funny. Just because it’s (sadly) easy and common doesn’t change that.

“The fart of God…”

That’s really weird. I had a couple of friends in Catholic school whose parents were divorced. And I think I started there in about '83. Of course, maybe they changed it, or our school had a more liberal policy?

Note: I’m not doubting you. That’s really fucked up.

This may just be a small blip, but there seems to be an increasing number of haredi objecting to being seated next to a woman on the plane. And they cannot ask a flight attendant for a different seat, being that most of them are women, so they insist on the woman herself moving. These Hasids sometimes make the muslims look downright progressive.

I’ll never understand why people-- many religious people-- don’t understand it is not proper to flail your religious fantasies around in general public. Save it for your cult of worship on the weekends. But the minute you clock in for work (real work, not religious), hop on a plane, enter a public establishment, etc., you SHUT UP about your faith. It’s no longer in play.

Any shithead, curly-q men who expect the world to obey their made-up fantasies just should be denied a plane ticket. Walk, young friends of Moses and other made up fools. The bearded guy will guide you on your walk! :rolleyes:

When I worked as shift supervisor, I had to make it clear to at least one of the guys that he was not allowed to spread the good word on the floor. Break-room, no problem, but not while working.

The same Adam, who remarried after his first wife dumped him for an archangel?

Adam was created in chapter two. It is not quite clear who the man and woman created in chapter one were or what became of them.

The ever-reliable Pastor Creflo Dollar (surprisingly, his real name) is blaming Pokémon for turning children born in the '80s and '90s gay. The kids had “their sexuality warped by Ash and his fruity friends.” I am having trouble finding a site containing that so-called quote that does not also describe Dollar as “money hungry” or “gold digging” or “a shyster,” but here’s a link to a more sympathetic (I think–Poe) site with the additional features of other nutty claims and being translated from French: christnews.org

Personally, I went more for Jessie than James, but 1989 was well past when my sexual identity got fixed.

Well, I guess you aren’t up on your medieval pseudepigrapha. :wink:

Nice way to show ignorance while decrying ignorance of others.

Fair enough.

Surely that’s a parody site…I mean, it has to be, right? :smack:

I know they like to kick it old school, but even school children figured this out.

*Circle, circle.
Dot, dot.
Now you got your cootie shot. *

Dallas-area contest to draw the best Muhammad cartoon draws fire. Literally. The two gunmen who started shooting outside the event were sent to their host of virgins by police. A security guard took a bullet to the leg.

Let it be known that, when it comes to stupid religious ideas this one was a double-header, because this “art show” was put on by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, an anti-Muslim hate group. This same group put ads on San Francisco buses saying the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was a “war between the civilized man and the savage.”

Hmm…the report is a little light on details about the gunmen. I’m going to be wondering what religion they are all day :mad:

Well of course, that makes it ok to shoot them up. Because free speech that you don’t like shouldn’t be protected.
