What does Indiana have to do with all of this , LOL ?


We have a lot of weird town names ( Truth or Consequences , New Mexico or Toad Suck Arkansas just for example..) but I think French Lick might take the cake...


And we're off topic now, unless of course religious folks named those towns. :-)

The Amish are religious and also have Paradise. Not to be mistaken for the 99 vestal virgins. Ah ain't these religious discussions just juicy?

Hey, don't dis French Lick.  It doesn't take the cake.  It takes the NBA Championship Trophy.   It's Larry Bird's hometown!

 

And as for Intercourse, PA, there was a company there, (and it might still be for all I know), that would sell you a deed to a small plot of land there.  You'd get a certificate proclaiming that you now owned "Six Inches of Intercourse"

And as for the 72 or however many virgins the Islamic religion promises martyrs after death, no one clarified if they're even bipeds much less male of female ..

Now I see how misspelled words in religious books could have caused so much misery in the world ; it's virginians not virgins, it's celebrate, not celibate, it's god hates figs ( very fattening fruit and Jesus was a slim dude by all accounts..) , and who knows how many more other misspelled and misinterpreted meanings may have led to discord, and escalated into conflict , wars , etc. I blame the scribes !!

Ah Mr. Shakespeare you don't mean lawyers I hope?

Nah, lawyers are in large part , ( ergo the term " attorney at large " ? ) honorable , upstanding citizens. It's the exceptions among them ( aka " slime bags " ) that have given the entire industry a bad name. IMHO .

Well, of all the crazy and extreme statements ( or actions taken ) in the name of religion , this one must be a candidate for a select few all-time bizarre ones - and yes, ISIS is probably the smallest and the most extremist faction of Islam, interpreting religion in their or own unique way, but this week a fatwa was declared on pigeons ! Yes, pigeons. Breeding pigeons is now forbidden because ...and folks, this is not a joke pulled from an Onion article .. when they fly overhead people can see the pigeons genitals and that's " offensive to Islam " according to ISIS' declaration.

I think we have just found the epitome definition for the term Religulous .

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa   "....most Muslims argue that anyone trained in Islamic law may give an opinion (fatwā) on its teachings."  and "The person who issues a fatwā is called, ..... , a Mufti," and "....  fatwās are not universally binding;"

 

I've studied a bit of Islam, so can I issue a fatwa?    Here we go:   As a neophyte Mufti, I declare a fatwa that too many people have a high BMI, and probably suffer from too much "fat...."   "....wa".      Therefore all fast food franchises in the US shall be limited to one per metropolitan area.

Careful, Mufti sounds a bit too close to Bulti, we don't want Philippe to be "profiled" by the authorities .. :-) .

So, if I understand this correctly, Isis should like Goofy, but Pluto is forbidden in view of the fact that Goofy wears pants?
