Starwars Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 The Danes ARE crazy, but since I live closeby (about an hour all together, bus + ferry) it's a nice place to go to and have a few beers during the summer.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I refuse to believe it is impossible to teach Arabs how to appreciate comedy. All they need is cable tv.

Azure79 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Someone should make a reality TV show called Battle of the Religions. You would take various people from various world religions and have them compete for a cash donation to their religion. Lets throw in a team of atheists and a few cults to make things interesting. They would have to compete in events where they must learn about the religions of the other contestants. Bonus points if one team manages to convert another team member. I would watch it.

If the passage of 2000 years hasnt done it, nothing will. Well, Muhammad was born in 570 CE, so your numbers are a bit off. You might claim that 500 years is no big deal, but the Catholic church wasn't exactly a fountain of comedy when it was 1500 years old.

You might claim that 500 years is no big deal, but the Catholic church wasn't exactly a fountain of comedy when it was 1500 years old. Yeah, I was just shooting from the hip. I figured Muhammad was probably around the same time as Jesus and since we are 2008 years after the death of Jesus...you see where this is going. Whats "CE" mean? Same as "BC"? So you're saying that Islam just needs a few more centuries to get their act together? I ask because I feel youve drawn a very tenuous link between how long somethings been around and how they act. It could easily be argued that atrocities commited by the catholic church were as much a product of the times (1500 AD) then they were just because the church was only 1500 years old.

Xard Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Oh boy, it's kinda bad if you think Muhammad lived 500 years BEFORE Jesus It's ironic that Islam spawned only intellectually and philosophically deep branch of monotheism, sufism. How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)

Xard Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 To continue with irony: After Muhammed's death he was for centuries popular character in muslim art and Quran doesn't state "you shall not make picture of Muhammad". That comes from certain optional hadits. What's so funny is you could propably take one of them, insert your own stuff in it and preach is it as a word of god and uneducated masses down there would have many members who would believe you. How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Walsingham Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Well yes, as I have said before, everyone slates organised religion. But the alternative is disorganised religion, which means any fool can come along, claim he is a priest and claim the 'faithful'. "It wasn't lies.
