Smile Re: Now YOU can try it: "Muslim For A Month"

Is this a game where eventually you get back to the first religion from which all or most of the others originate? And I wonder if you outlined this idea to people if they would change their views about religion?

Edit: And why has no one started a religion that tells women they should offer sex to their husbands/partners often to achieve enlightenment? Bloody opportunity wasted there, if you are going to write a religion don’t be lazy and copy an old one. Write a new one encouraging people to partake in regular eating, drinking, exercise and sexual intercourse. 4 commandments already you see, how hard can it be?

Unlikely as the first religions were likely sun worship and Earth Mother/Goddess types.

And religious people rarely listen to facts so they are unlikely to have their mind changed...otherwise the world would be 70% agnostic already...

Default Re: Now YOU can try it: "Muslim For A Month"

its at times like this when I have just rolled out of a curry house; rat arsed in down town Kochin and having read the above post that I realize how uneducated I am as I have no idea what some of the words used in this thread mean and I am too ratted to google them, Wherever you were educated, assuming not google, then God bless your teachers.

Am now wondering whether a copious amount of Kingfisher can kill off the copious amount of bacteria I must have just consumed in the shitty Indian curry house

and why do Indian hotels not have chocolate in their mini bars ?

Or is it just me who craves chocolate after curry and beer ?

Time for bed

I’ve read the parallels between Osiris, Mithra and Jesus. Someone should do a big diagram/family tree type thing.
There are some roots in Zoroastrianism. Some bloke in the pub told me.

Wouldn't chocolate exacerbate the runs for tourists, considering they likely consume curry quite frequently?

That's something I'm prepared to accept without evidence.

I was told by an Indian colleague that if I visit India I should be prepared for a few days of dysentery - obviously not something the Indian Tourism board puts in it's brochures I imagine!
