As opposed to gathering wood on the sabbath to fuel the stove that cooked the food, in which case - let the stones fly!
Why did you do that? Is it a sin punishable by death to eat that disgusting mixture of hidrogenated cotton seed oil and beef tallow that they shamefully call a hamburger, but should not even be classified as 'food'? Well, if it is not, then maybe it should be. But still, for you to stone the one who ate that sorry excuse for a meal is not Biblical. To paraphrase Jesus Christ himself: 'Let he who has never eaten any junk high in saturated fat and trans fats and low in nutrients be the one to throw the first stone.'
or to quote God (to Peter) "Kill and eat!" of course, God was thinking of In-n-Out when he said this, the double-double being one of his best ideas. if you eat meat.
I hope there's a meaning of this phrase that I don't know... because the only meaning I know is the old "Clockwork Orange" sense of the "ol in-out." Please tell me there's another version...
That explains why I didn't catch the reference right away, though looking at that link, I was wondering: isn't this the place that Eric Schlosser mentions in Fast Food Nation as a model "fast-food" place, in terms of the quality of the food, and the way they treat their employees? In any case, back on topic. That burger looks pretty good, even though I'm a vegetarian and said burger violates the dietary laws established in Leviticus
--- some things are not fair. In-n-Out is populated largely by ( at least nominally ) followers of Jesus. Chic-fil-a, same phenomenon.
Goodness yes. The one in Carlsbad, CA certainly is. Go in there on a weekend night and it looks as the entire Varsity Christian Fellowship emptied out into there. As to In 'n' Out being the "model fast food joint", yup -- that's it.
Why is it okay? Because all religious people have an irrational belief in an invisable man in the sky that runs their lives.
This was the answer I was waiting for. Truly. Are religious people and atheists supposed to hate each other? Barely tolerate each other? Or actually have a respect for individual beliefs and thoughts? I'm hoping the latter.
I think we're supposed to not really care what our neighbor believes in. We should hate them if they have your half bottle of Johnny Walker Gold and won't return it. Otherwise, there should be no troubles. Respect may be too much. Tolerance will do.
Why shouldn't we care? I find it fascinating to hear what other people believe in, and it can be mind opening. I think it is great to discuss our beliefs. To be able to do so rationally is one of our wonderful characteristics as human beings. I really don't mind at all people trying to make arguments for what they believe, and against what I believe, if we're having an open conversation in which we are both willing participants. But what I cannot stand is when people take the attitude that their belief is inherently more real, or more rational, than mine. I don't like that when it is coming from a religious person and I don't like that when it is coming from an atheist.
--- maybe you are overstating the "runs their lives" part. just a little. maybe you have proof that none of us has free will. maybe you could spell invisible if you weren't so interested in making silly statements.
I was refering to a minimum standard. Of course I want to hear other people's opinions "about the world we live in, and life in general". If I didn't, I wouldn't participate in this political bitchfest as much as I do.
