A thank you to Brexiteers.

"Catholics were expected to abstain from eating meat or products derived from animals such as butter or dairy on Fridays and holy days. Christmas Eve being one of the designated days on which to abstain, most good Catholics would eat fish, typically cooked in oil."

...what do Irish Catholics eat at xmas?

Can't comment on the Irish, but as a half-Pole I always found the Christmas Eve "fast" hilarious. It's a fast in that there's no meat or dairy, but there are twelve courses. Which, to me, defeats the point of fasting; but what do I know? I love the little mushroom pierogi, whatever they're called, in barszcz, and would be happy to just eat that all evening. It's mainly herring, carp, potatoes, cabbage, and mushrooms. Done 12 ways.

I have no idea.
How is Christian defined?

Are you pretending to be this thick?

 

[MrSki]

Just to recap after 264 pages, does anyone actually still think Brexit has been good for the UK & those living there?

On a side note please post the positives if the list is not too long.

Are you pretending to be this thick?

For a start there are loads of so called Christian denominations that define being a Christian differently.
Different groups demand different practices.
Scholars go back and forth over the Bible arguing translations and interpretations.
Perhaps that’s something you didn’t know.

the name of the religion is bit of a give away regardless of denominations, the main belief being jesus is the only begotten son of the lord

I thought the main belief was ‘thou shalt not kill’.

Don’t be daft. Nobody takes that bit seriously, look at the crusades.

look up the ten commandments

their feature in some way in all 3 of Abrahamic religions, the main belief of Christian is about the Jesus dude being the son of god

HTH

 

[gosub]

You mean from the old testaments' 10 commandments that in foundationary for all Abrahamic religions.

I think the sanctity of life is a feature of all religions, like Hinduism or Buddhism for instance.

Breckshit just gets better and better. Hopefully there'll be a shortage of air soon and we'll all just quietly pass off into that halcyon distant past/future we were promised in the glossy farageflyers...

If they also drive trucks, they're the perfect post-Brexit religion.

 

[bimble]

the government's shortage occupations list has massively expanded already since i last looked at it, now says "All jobs" in these broad sectors are exemptions from the new immigration rules, what is going on there, where did our engineers come from.

difficult - they'd have to get out and sweep the path for insects, besides driving at a speed slow enough not to flatten them on the windscreen

There are more than three Abrahamic religions, I discovered earlier this year. Rastafarianism is also one…

 

[Raheem]

Rose Royce are playing cards at the carwash.

 

[Ax^]

Rastafarianism believe in jesus being the son of god fall under christians

if he is a phrophet it another religion

 

[bimble]

"brexit might not work but it'll still be great"

eh? he thinks Brexit was an attempt to get a serious government? On that count it has failed to a degree that i cant even laugh about. Brexit is what gave these malevolent clowns the power they have, this right now is the brexit government, elected by brexiteers to get brexit done.

It is true that many Rastas have beliefs which are compatible with Christianity to a very large extent. However, I think Rastas generally/always believe that the biblical account of Jesus's life is a false one, and that the real Jesus was an African. That's why they are not normally considered Christians.

 

[bimble]

rastafarianism has more to do with hinduism than with jesus but thats a whole nother thread.

For Mr Cummings assume "a serious government" is one where he's calling the shots.

 

[bimble]

Baffling trying to guess what Cummings meant, unless it’s that the magnitude of the change would somehow magic up a government able to deal with it imaginatively & competently but then yeah as he says brexit might not work.
