3. I once
tried to flush a Rush Limbaugh book down my toilet, and the plumbing has been screwed ever since. I think it is trying to regurgitate....

12. It's well-known that the Saudis do not permit Bibles or Christian worship
even in private. (The Saudis do tolerate Christian worship in foreign compounds, but this must be very discreet.) The Saudis also do not allow Jews to enter the Kingdom. American oil companies are careful not to send their Jewish employees to their Saudi operations, a remarkable example of discrimination.

11. I don't know
I'm not up on how Christians react to things, but I think most Christians would just go out and buy another bible if theirs got flushed. Wouldn't flushing the koran be more like peeing on a US flag or something? It seems like in the US flags are treated more like the koran is treated in the islamic world.

14. there was a better analogy posted last week
You've got the right idea that fundamentalist Muslims revere the physical Qu'ran more than fundamentalist Christians revere the physical Bible. They may have a very similar attitude toward the words contained within their holy books, but the attitude toward the physical object is different.

The analogy I saw before was that flushing the Qu'ran is more like desecrating a Catholic communion wafer in that both are seen as the substance of a god rather than mere symbols of a god.

17. I attended a religious college (Methodist)
Edited on Wed May-25-05 04:39 PM by ashling
in the deep south, and took a few religion courses as a requirement for graduation.

The first day of class in Old Tesament (Rel 101) the professor threw his Bible up against the wall to make a point. The damn thing is a book, like any other book.
