Wait a minute... how can he go to heaven? I grew up in the Pentecostal church. I was told Catholics weren't real Christians.

/man is someone in for a surprise when they die.

This should start off Easter with a ... bang.

As a choir sang, Pope Benedict XVI poured holy water over Magdi Allam's head and said a brief prayer in Latin.



That guy is dead meat. some asshat looking to score points with Allah is gonna off his ass.

nobozo: This should start off Easter with a ... bang.

AaaaaahahahahahahahAAA!!

That headline tickles me pink.

Thank you, subby.

Yeah, but the version of heaven he's going to now doesn't have the 72 virgins.

He gives up 75 virgins for bacon, I say he wins.


/HUMAN and FEMALE virgins, the Koran doesn't specify.
//Thank you for the bombing, here are your 75 puppies.

Just checking, is Islam the only major religion that condemns those who leave it's religion to death? As far as I am aware of, it is. I could be wrong.

Maybe he'll be going to a different hell now.

Italy's most prominent Muslim commentator, a journalist with iconoclastic views such as support for Israel

Sounds like it wasn't much of a loss for the Muslim team anyway.

from one fundamentalist terrorist religon to another

no difference really

Guy chooses one cult of sky-fairy worshipers over another.

Yawn.

Wake me when they all finally admit there's no god.

I do not think the FSM likes catholics, no beer volcano and stripper factory for this guy.

Is that in the Koran, or just an interpretation of extremists?

Vatican television zoomed in on Allam, who sat in the front row of the basilica along with six other candidates for baptism.

Burn that face into your minds, suicide bombers.

Naw, they get 72 virgin DnD geeks.

He has just signed his own death warrant. In Islam, leaving is punishable by beheading.

I can't think of another one at the moment, so I'd say that's a big nope.

This shoud end well...

Maybe he's into underaged boys.

Deuteronomy 13:6-8
'If your brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife tries to secretly entice you, telling you to go and worship other gods, gods of people living near you, or far from you, or anywhere on earth, do not listen to him.' Deuteronomy 13:8-9
'You must kill them. Show them no pity. And your hand must strike the first blow.'

I think that technically christian parents are supposed to kill their children if they stray from the religion.

Uncle Karl: 'You must kill them. Show them no pity. And your hand must strike the first blow.'

Yeah, but when's the last time you heard of a Jew beating on another Jew for becoming un-Jewish?

Hmm, would Tatsuma have to kill his relatives for converting?

That is the written law not the oral one. The jews I believe follow the oral law.

Christians seem to like the written law, what with the hating on gays and all.

You don't hear about it because they've picked and decided which laws to follow and which ones to throw out.

Much of the OLD TESTAMENT was FULFILLED by Jesus' death and resurrection guys - the "laws" may not be required now. Please try and educate yourselves before you lambaste Christians for not following what you think we're supposed to follow.

Seems to me a true christian would.

You're not kidding, and it is you. As someone who was raised Catholic, I can tell you that you are considered 'other-denominational'. That is code for someone who is going to hell.

So you get to just pick and choose then?
Why did it change the food rules, but not the ones about men lying with men as with women?


Matthew 5:17

Jesus seems not to agree with you.

Only if you have +3 Rune of Tastiness.

The New Testament is just as sadistic as the old.
I have educated myself, I just happen to disagree with almost everything that book says.

Matthew 5:18
'In truth I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even the smallest stroke of a letter will pass away from The Law.'

/You might try reading what he said

Point of order, submitter: the convert has been threatened by Hamas for his support of Israel, not for his conversion. I'm sure Hamas, as a Sunni organization tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, is in favor of executing apostates in principle. It's not clear that they have threatened this man on that basis.

TFA: Egypt's highest Islamic cleric, the Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, wrote last year against the killing of apostates, saying there is no worldly retribution for Muslims who abandon their religion and that punishment would come in the afterlife

Well, he claims he was misquoted on that. He denies saying that Muslims should be free to leave Islam, but he doesn't think they should be killed (source). This is in fact the practice in Egypt and elsewhere, harassment of apostates is common but killings are rare.

Ok so I wrote this inflammatory comment.. then censored myself, endgame:

And beer, don't forget the beer.

This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker and glory to his bounty by learning about... BEER.

Anyways, funny aside, he's big enough to make his own decisions. That's why catholics have the Confirmation, it's the renovation to the faith in the Catholic Church.

Bacon is much more delicious than evolution, case closed.

I suppose if I've been around for all infinity I'd get bored and start planting fossils to fark with people too. I guess.
