Zonder. You said...." Take this law against eating pork. You might be interested to learn that it is also forbidden for Jews. In fact, not only does the Jewish God forbid them to eat pork but also all seafood with shells. "....

I was aware of the pork thing with Jews was not aware of the seafood thing.

You said..." I agree with you that all religions have "stupid laws", Islam is by no means singularly egregious in this respect"....

Then....." It is disrespectful of you to call other people's religion "stupid". Period."....

I don't recall calling other peoples religion stupid, I believe I said some of their religious laws are stupid and as you can see in your above statement you agree. how come it's disrespectful coming from me but not you?

Please show me where I said any religion is stupid?
And a couple of posts back you said on this thread that I hated muslims and islam and I asked you to show me where I have ever said that...you still have not done this.

If we are to continue our peaceful little chat here then maybe you could address those two items.

Oh yes and for a time Catholic's were not permitted to eat meat on Fridays. I always thought this was a kind of stupid religious law for this day and age and I believe that in keeping with the times this is no longer a requirement.
