Iorne - Let me get back to you tomorrow. I would like to get out of the office (it is 19:50) and eat something before I starve to death :)

Yup Jews are not allowed to eat seafood that doesn't move head and and have scales.

Thus, no "calamares", sharks, shells.

A god for dolphins ?

Re Religions Stupid

The difference between your stand and mine re religions is that I am equidistant from all of them and the reason for that is I find them equally strange. Irrational, if you will. Nonetheless, people believe in them and I will not call their beliefs "stupid" because I learned through experience that nothing constructive ever comes out of such discussions - belief, by definition, is not a rational conviction and thus cannot be defended by rational means.

But I digress :)

I said: I agree with you that all religions have "stupid laws" but put the last two words in quotes because those were your words and I would not say them myself.

Re "Religion is stupid"

Please show me where I said any religion is stupid?

Here:
So just how can any person actually in this day and age still believe this sort of stupidity.

You were talking about Islam and its practices here, I believe. And below is a quote where you are saying one of Islam's very important practices is "silly":

How many of those people walking around this black rock have the slightist idea of why they are doing what they are doing and how really silly it is?

Re Hate Muslims

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.

I answered that post of yours. Please look back if you wish to find it. I said that you did not say you hated Muslims but that was the general idea I got from your posts. If you feel "hate" is too strong a word, let us say "dislike", then. I wrote this as well in reply to your post.

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

I hope you find my answers to your questions adequate. We certainly have come a long way since two days ago when you thought I was a supporter of Muslim terrorists :) Read quote below:

There is NO chance of me becoming friendly with someone who supports islam terrorists just aint gonna happen.
