Lolback of the week - a throwback to the 2001 post-season run...

With apologies to soco. Though since he'll be on his honeymoon cruise very soon, if not already, I think we might get away with it. :-)

I don't think it's blasphemy...

...if one of us writes it?

Besides

I’m always careful to capitalize the G.

I was wondering that myself

The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.

Right but he's not Jewish

so it wouldn’t matter to him. So it doesn’t matter to me, especially since I’d like to believe that G-d would at least be a better baseball player than Counsell.

That's what I said.

In our cases, it isn’t blasphemy.

This whole conversation draws me to: “I only said this fish is good enough for Jehovah!!”

I’d agree that you can’t blaspheme a deity you don’t believe in, but generally, religions don’t restrict themselves in this area – see the controversy about the cartoons depicting Muhammed, for example.

Most moderate Muslim scholars

point out that the ban against depictions of Muhammed is directed exclusively at Muslims, not necessarily at the other People of the Book or even at heathens.

Jebus also said, “Render unto Caeser that which is Caeser’s and to God that which is God’s”, but some people still try to turn our country into a Christian state.

The picture of The Prophet with a bomb for a turban was just plain offensive, though, in the same way the picture of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung was offensive. Not that I responded to either by rioting, though.

The Jewish thought is

that if you’re not Jewish you don’t have to follow any of the Jewish commandments. Besides, if anything the blasphemy would be that G-d is being compared to such a middle of the road player like Counsell.
