On the Jewish Center asking a fitness center to cover its windows- While I do agree that the Jewish Center could have covered its windows, I think the owners of the Fitness center decided to comply to avoid complications, loss of customers who might happen to go to that JC, and hours of emails saying “Come oooooon” in a very formal way.

Don’t you just love it when there’s a war and neither of the participants are willing to resort to name calling?

blinky u do relise that over 85% of muslims disagree with these douche bags right.

in the quran it clearly sates that sucide is NOT PERMITTED. no exceptions. osama’s just some moron who probably can’t read properly and thought the quran says otherwise.

Its not the state of Islam that worries us. Its the nutters who blow themselves and other up and claim to BE representing Islam that bother us.

The Islamic state as it is commonly known now is not the authoritarian regime you understand it to be. Please check your facts.

Yeah, you probably had. I was mostly thrown by you saying you’re not sure you follow…
And yes, church buildings are often quite wonderful.

rhorho — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 09:36:08 +0000

Pomp and circumstance, maybe? I thought I
had that covered in the “religion for heritage”
bit, but that’s okay. Old churches are great
for creating the aura of solemnity and pur-
pose. They support the whole “hallowed halls”
racket. Granted, what passes for “old” in the
U.S. isn’t much more than “gently worn” to
you and your peeps.

“filling traditions and ceremony” seems like a strange way of expressing what I meant. I think I was going to write “filling the role of tradition-bearer and ceremony-… something”. :p

By: Danbala

Danbala — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:20:19 +0000

Hmm? Now I’m confused!
My ramblings are only related to what happens to religion when it’s largely (or at least for a large amount of the population) reduced to filling traditions and ceremony, and why this still causes some issues.

By: rhorho

rhorho — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:16:08 +0000

I’m not sure I follow. So far, I’ve got politics
via religion, religion for heritage, and heritage
for heretics?

By: Danbala

Danbala — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 07:13:35 +0000

I think it's down to religion not meaning much to quite a f ew people, and they think that if they aren't bothered about it, no one else needs to be either. They don't react to singing hymns to the glory aof the lord, why should anyone else care? . Another tricky part of the fight to keep kids being hauled off to church a couple of times a year is that it has become a matter of "we shall not change our ways to accomodate those damned muslims", which makes it a much more touchy subject. :p

I think it’s more like “not seeing the forest

By: Danbala

Danbala — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:52:45 +0000

Yes, I can’t think of a better word still. My only problem with “cluelessness” is that it’s a more negative word than what I was looking for, it feels to me to imply a certain amount of uneducation and stupidity, which is not exactly what I’m looking for. But yeah, it’s probably the closest term.

Well put! I’m suspicious as to the motivation behind
not allowing people to sleep in on weekends, as
well. Is that the same thing?

Thank you. I can only assume they thought they could just have their little pill dispensing dream in some kind of Pleasantville without those horrid sl*ts who dare take reproductive responsibility or at least precaution.

@DWN: Coming in late, but congrats on the
post. It is crystal clear to me that I’m not
qualified to do *many* jobs. It amazes me
how, for example, someone could go all the
way through pharmacy school without
knowing that the job description includes
something s/he could find objectionable.

Oh, and if anyone’s interested, I have added a link behind my name here to the RCMP’s own history site. I forgot to include it in the previous post (which hasn’t even shown up yet, so if this is out of order, forgive me.)

And yeah, Jesus appearing to the women, Deborah leading the Israelites, Female church leaders…. That’s why it’s just stupid to say that Paul said there couldn’t be female leaders…

By: AC

AC — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:30:23 +0000

Oh sorry, Fester. No female teachers in 1st century Jewish Ephesus. Didn’t mean to say that there were no female teachers at all.

By: Uncle Fester

Uncle Fester — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:23:40 +0000

Actually there had been women teachers across Classical antiquity for yeas…
IT was nothing new, and it was interesting the women were the first people JEsus appeared to … not the men…

Now, you’re simply looking desperate…

By: AC

No, the bit about specific place and time was because you have to understand the context to understand the meaning.
The context was a society where women weren’t educated AT ALL Paul said they could be educated but they should go about it with dignity -something that shouldn’t really be “ignored.”
It’s a lesson about not placing responsibility on the shoulders of those who aren’t ready for it. How could women teach when they were only just beginning to be taught?
Both these things are important. Like I said, it’s not about ignoring the passage -it’s about ignoring those who’re using it to oppress others?

By: Uncle Fester

Uncle Fester — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:50:33 +0000

No, it was quite unequivocal… it was something that was written to one group and one place at a specific time…that was the exegesis there… cna’t be one exegesis for one bit and another for another… I’d suggest you go and find the posts made… it was very, very clear…

Did you not read what Froo and OMG were saying to you?
That was ONE of the things they were saying and it made perfect sense in context. Also, it’s not “ignoring” 1 Tim 2 -it’s ignoring idiots’ use of it as a way to opress women.

AC — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:18:01 +0000

Well, Scots are half Irish anyway… A nice mix of Picts and Gaels… Constantine was Irish/Gael backed when he was reclaiming the throne… I think..

By: Uncle Fester

Uncle Fester — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:48:29 +0000

Niall, actually… prior to him the Scots tribes
would kill each other rather than an
outlander… So, it was an Irish King who
manipulated you into becoming a PITA to
the Romans and thus let him get back to his
major hobby of warring against other Irish
kings.
