Nobody here is talking about Passover?

Disapointing.
Why would we be?

It is tonight.

And I can't drink coors lite for a WEEK!!!!
Yeah, but we don't have any observant Jews here.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Are saying that there is blood in the matzah?

Anti-semite!!!!!

:hug: you are so wonderfully predictable... if we ever meet I'm gonna have to teach you how to drink beer.



That's because you missed the part where I started screaming "anti-semite" like Donald Sutherland in the final scene of "Invasion of the body snatchers"....

no, because you got the blood libel reference rather than the use of bloody as a mere profanity.

Malthus and I mentioned it.  It seems his kid thinks the ten plagues were pretty cool.

Correction: he thinks the toys based on the ten plagues were cool. I'm pretty sure he has no idea what they stand for though, Biblical study being a trifle beyond the average three-year old.  :lol:

If US politicians ever stop ending their speeches with God blessing everyone that might be the time to talk about Christianity suffering some kind of setback.

I was born on Good Friday - the day Jesus died.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean.   :huh:

Like most God stuff in American politics that came out of the Cold War as a reaction to the militant atheism of the Soviet Union.  We put God in everything just to show we were not evil Commie bastards.

But we didn't do most of that stuff pre-Cold War.

I don't have much investment in this, since Canada has already surpassed Christianity.

Incidentally, Christian America is hardly "ending," it's just becoming more polarized (like everything else). On the one end, you have New England's atheist population growing. On the other, you have the Texas schoolboard dismantling science education in the state so as to avoid offending the YEC crowd.

There are zillions of school boards in Texas.  The only one that dismantles science education is probably in a rural district that never really taught it to begin with.

There is no State school board.
