Russell Brand: If you want to avoid halal meat become a vegetarian not a racist(sic)

[Kalcheus]

Nowadays?

Because he used to be something other than a stand-up comedian?

Russell Brand has actually become some sort of hipster philosopher. It's fascinating from a meta perspective.

Oh yeah?

HEH. HEH.

I try to get pork in me every chance I get.

[kidkilla]

Lets pretend its both the Ayatollah Khomeni and Mahoummed Abbas.

Ayatollah Khomeni is a Shia Rafidah. Ayatollah Khomeni is not a Muslim. Shia Rafidahs curse the Sahabah.

Watch out or you'll offend the Christians too.

Although a lot of what he says may be ridiculous a comedian getting involved in politics doesn't sound much more far fetched than an actor.

Thats as silly as saying Protestants are not Christian.

He was also a Heroin addict for many years, he is not as wise as people claim.

I'm a bad person because I just read that line to the tune of Rock the Casbah

[artemishunter1]

Its more of "If i want to partake in another religion;s rituals, I'd like to consent to it" kind of thing. Although as a Presbyterian, Im not quite sure what the position is on that. although my local church actually disregards the naitonal presbytrian position on ordaining gays lol.

And that is insane. This action is illogical. If you do not believe in God, that ritual has no meaning. A normal person would just eat it, because it is food. Atheists are displaying same time of behaviors as theists here.

Fine, the King of Saudi Arabia. Happy? Also, didnt comment on Abbas.

Out of curiosity, when did religion become a race?

[kidkilla]

Thats as silly as saying Protestants are not Christian.

The difference between the beliefs of Sunni Muslims and Shia Rafidahs is more than the difference between the beliefs of Christianity and Judaism.

He's an expert at what I call "first level" insights, you know, stuff like: "When you consider how big the universe is, why does it matter if people have gay sex". People respond to that because a lot of people tend to accept logic as presented and don't extend the logic to its actual conclusion, e.g. "when you consider how big the universe is, why does it matter if I butcher and eat this entire village of people".

Despite that flaw, RB & I are in general agreement about things, so I'm sorta ok with his status.

What do Atheists have to do with this? She said in the very post you quoted that she's Presbyterian.

Abbas is corrupt. The King of Saudi Arabia a hypocrite who does not follow Shariah law.

Eh, I treat all religions with respect, and regard many traditional practices as having some sort of meaning, if not for me then for them. Its one of my few illogical beliefs I have. I have no probloem eating halal meat, but i wish to know that it is halal in advance.

A drug addict and a bum? And i'll be damned if i'm going to take advice from a drug addict.

I'd boycott the subways doing it, as I did to the nando's in my area that served only halal meat. I refuse to reward a business with my money if they choose to force religious principles into my life. Nobody did anything particularly bad in that situation, a business made a business decision and I reacted to that decision with my wallet. No where in that process did I act like a racist and I find it insulting that i'm labelled as one for choosing not to partake in religious ideals against my will.

Produced some great music though.

Alright a lot of this has just sort of diverted to a discussion on religion, which we don't allow.

Closed.
