IngoB's recipe for world peace: quote: Originally posted by Karl: Liberal Backslider: I share your concern. I think it would not be hard to re-write IngoB's list of reasons for affirming Abraham in this matter to justify, for example, religiously motivated terrorist bombings.
If every potential suicide bomber confirmed that he's truly listening to the voice of God by waiting with his attacks until he has successfully impregnated a post-menopausal 90 year old woman by natural means - then I think the world would be a lot more peaceful than it is now. (Except for a few old ladies, admittedly.)

Its really naff commenting on your own quotes in this thread, but I feel honour-bound to try to point out that this deliberatley OTT rant was, in its Hellish context, meant to look rather more ambiguous than it reads when isolated like this. And it certainly does not represent any considered opinion about Mormons (0r anyone else much)

No Estonian Orthodox, if you please thread in Purg...
MouseThief's quote at the end cracked me up the bestest, albeit Sober Preacher's Kid's "Almost Protestant" quote is quite funny as well. Perhaps this comes from me checking out the Orthodox plot on my own, then staying a Prot myself. -dutch
quote: Originally posted by MouseThief: quote: Originally posted by Sober Preacher's Kid: quote: Mockingbird: First of all, relations are poor between various jurisdictions and ethnicities. "Barely on speaking terms" is how a friend of mine, who married a Russian Orthodox woman, describes the relationships among various orthodox communities in the U.S.
Almost Protestant, isn't it?
Except for the bit about us having identical dogmas and virtually identical worship services, yeah.
