Oh, you knew. I thought you was asking seriously, and I thought why is she asking a simple question? but I answered anyway, to try and make myself look like a film buff.

And it's a very good film, I'll have you know.

I can not live without a bacon sarnie

I once read that the only reason that was included in religious text was the king at the time was sick of the smell of the pigs roaming outside the palace.

Also why do so many religions hate pigs I didn't realise Christianity was the same...another reason not to be religious as bacon sandwiches are better than any God.

Unclean animals, innit. There are quite a lot of things I'm not supposed to eat including shellfish... which I hate anyway.

My husband for some reason says quite often that pigs are the cleanest animals, more clean than cats etc. Not sure if its true or not but he seems to think it is

[Braden]

I agree re: marriage being an incredibly overrated concept & bacon being too good to not eat

Wow... there are some really hazy Jewish/Christian mix-ups on this thread...

If this in reference to what I have said, feel free to say what is wrong.

As I've said I'm not entirely religious so my knowledge isn't well-informed.

I think it's just that Judaism is over 5000 years old, Christianity 2000 and Islam much younger, 1300 years, something like that. People get confused between the old and new testament and it's further compounded by Jesus being Jewish and that he's recognised in Judaism and Islam as a prophet, but not as the son of God.

Anyway, I don't want to get too far into it here because it's kind of annoying the way people who don't believe the same as you pour scorn on it as exampled in Kizzy's post. Personally, I uphold the right of everyone to believe what they want without having to defend it.

Anyhoo, thanks Braden.

Okay, I understand. I think primarily for me, as a gay man, people that hold such hypocrisies in regard to religion are quite frustrating. Religion (for me anyway), is such a complex and intricate subject that nowadays when people say 'I don't think gay people should get a married in a church", they're saying it not because homosexuality is (made out to be) prohibited in any religious text, but because society (even outside of religion) has raised it as taboo within culture- It's okay to get away with it because there was a time where we weren't accepted, kind of thing. Though, religion is used as a way to justify their opinion.

You need to watch 'The Ten Commandments' with Charlton Heston.

Brilliant film, 4 hours long.

Haha.. I thought, where's he going with this.....?

They are all a weird mish mash of each other and bits from here and there, each one believing they are right and all others wrong.

'The call of time is to send thoughts of peace and power to the world. Your thoughts travel, moving at a great speed and with considerable impact. Let the thought of peace sit in your mind,knowing that the vibes from your thoughts can radiate out and touch any person, any place.'

I actually think its pretty much certain that Jesus was a Jew. so how does this mean a brand new religion? Would it not make more sense for his followers to be Jewish?

However, despite going to Sunday schools (until I asked about dinosaurs and was banned ) and being Christened I do not know much about any religion at all tbh

We share 96 per cent dna with apes, religion was created by humans, believe what you like, I deal in facts not fiction.
We legally kill unborn babies conceived out of sexual pleasure and yet we let child killers live.

'The Pharisees would not live up to what they taught. They were so overly concerned with the externals that they neglected the "weightier matters of the law" and the simple truths about man and God. When their own Messiah had appeared in Israel they were so blinded by their observances and the minute details that they completely missed Him.'

What a guy!
