Just as the masses don't recognize their obsessions as being religious.

Some people -believe- what is convenient for themselves.

as one of your points
most people not Muslim are unaware that
Mohammad taught that both Jews and Christians are
People of the Book:

"...dispute ye not with the People of the Book
______except with means better (than mere disputation)
______unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury):
but say
"We believe in the Revelation which has come down to us
and in that which came down to you;
Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)."
---(from a Qur'an translation) Mohammed

As ever, 'meaning' is often disputed
both by those who are Muslim
& those who believe other things.

[btw - To the extent I'm not Christian, neither am I Muslim]

"According To The Koran, Muslims, Jews And Christians Should Live In Friendship"
from an article re the People of the Book

[also btw - I don't endorse either site above, not familiar with them, they just came up in a quick search]

The One Great Truth...
is that there are no great truths.

That being said- and found true- does that then set the stage for other Great Truths? I so, what happened to the first one being found untrue? :eek:

Or is that a line from a Bill Murray movie :confused:


Ad Astra :footinmou :confused: :( :rolleyes: :cool:

Boy! "Opiate of the masses." That's a line I have not heard since college -- like "capitalist running dog." [I wonder if it was tough to be a "Communist" oligarch and still like dogs? :) ]
 
It does bring back the Manifesto by Marx.

'workingclass of the world unite, you've nothing to lose but your chains."

Good one! Here's some more:

Amish don't recognize each other at the car dealership!

OR at the tailor when getting buttons sewed on their pajamas!

Jehovah's Witnesses don't recognize each other at the recruiting station!

OR while getting blood transfusions!

Jew's don't recognize each other at the thrift shop!

OR at Bible Study Class!

Hindu's don't recognize each other at the butchers! (I'll take two pounds of ground Great Grandpa! Ha Ha!)

The Muslim edition of Playboy features "hottest ankle of the week"!

Athiests don't recognize each other at Midnight Mass!

Hey, this joking about other people's religion is pretty fun! :D

Isn't everyone laughing?

:confused:
 
I think it's amusing. I also think people without religion are amusing, because they bring the same devotion/myopia/dedication to other pursuits- like the environment, diet, hair stye, music, etc.

But religion is the New Age Man's whipping boy.

Just my humble observation, but religion is so important to most folks it has to be laughed at to keep it in perspective. Parents can laugh at their children ( in private ) so why shouldn't God have a good belly laugh at our antics every now and again?

Just make the laughter inclusive rather than exclusive. See my signature line.
 
We've seen your signature line. I've been waiting for a new one. 10 percent of my usable intellectual quotes come from your signature lines. And Ben? Yes, we've seen you farting.




munk
 
Maybe someday there will be an enlightened society where farts are not verbotten. Physicians, and even an Emperor of Rome or two have told us it it injurious to hold farts back.


munk
 
There was a "doctor" named Caesar during the renaissance who told people they should not try to hold back farting or belching.
He said it was not good to "no restraint should be play'ed on the bum or the weason."

(weason was the word they used for the esophagus back then)


this is all in a famous madrigal from the renaissance.
