Halal only school dinners

Not entirely true - if "Guide to a Sikh" is to be believed...

As with all religions - there are always some inconsistencies, misconceptions and multiple viewpoints of the "one true way".

Not eating beef is a cultural thing (from the mainly non-beef-eating hindus of India).

Baptised sikhs (as in the link) tend not to eat any meat at all - however this is another contentious issue for sikhs and many baptised sikhs continue to eat meat. There are even gurdwaras in the UK that serve bacon sarnies on a Sunday morning!

Wrong.

When was the last time you read the Old Testament?

But the Old Testament is imperfect, this is expressed quite spectacularly in the Sistine Chapel. On one wall is the life of Jesus and the other Moses. If you look at the background to the Moses pictures you will see that the buildings etc are incomplete or imperfect, whilst those behind Christ are complete and perfect.

The Old testament tends to be used when people can't find what they WANT in the new testament.

Brilliant! I'd be delighted if they opened some of those in Holland.

in my country ...

oooh, all your own? I'd like one of those too. Italy would be nice, but I think it's out of my price range.

Or the New Testament is a load of complete bollocks written to serve the interests of the "Holy Roman Church" could be an alternative viewpoint.

Wine´s no good.

3rd century twaddle more like.

How can you trust doctrine that has been handed down and changed from generation to generation and manipulated to feed the neuroses of the masses?

Needs a lot of work.

Isn't it amazing how every god has the same prejudices and neuroses as his followers?
