This reminds me of the sixties when blacks were finally allowed in the Mormon church because a significant number of them were reaching middle class status. It is all about money. Gays are allowed and tolerated in some churches because they have liquid cash assets.

Even then Mormons wouldn’t allow blacks to go out on missions (every Mormon young man is expected to go on a mission for two years). I think they started to permit blacks to go on missions relatively recently.

Hell,why not turn communion into a full meal deal?

That is what many Hindu temples and Sikh Gurudwaras do. They have a service on Sunday (not that Sunday has any particular religious significance, it is just that people in the West are free on Sundays) and the service is followed by a communal meal.

Yes, a black could not be in the priesthood until recently and now now not until they had reached a certain level of cash flow.

Yes, I have supped with the Hare Krishnas. Missed meat though. Drum like banshees they do!

Just google the phrase "Can a good Muslim be a good" with the quotes around it. I got about 162,000 hits, and this was the first one: If a Good Muslim Can't Be a Good American, Neither Can a Good Fundamentalist Christian Be One, which I think covers it nicely. The search results also prove the point that the original question was about Americans, not Canadians.

Interesting. I read the article and he makes many of the same points that I made in my post 'A good Christians cannot be a good Canadian.'

Great minds think alike.

CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD CANADIANS?
Yup. I've known quite a few. Some Jews, some Buddhists, a couple Taoists, some Hindi, a couple Sikhs, a Shinto, and a few Pagans. Probably some people in other religions, too. Add atheists and agnostics to that list, too.

Did she eat meat?
I'm bi. lol
Seriously, she loved hamburgers. There used to be an awesome place in Kloneville to get burgers. It was called the Burger Baron. I haven't had a burger yet to match them. Dairy Queen's brazier burgers are pretty good (I have about 2 a year) but the Burger Baron's were awesome.

I know you are. It was a retorical question.

Seriously, the next time you are going through Winlaw, stop at Sleep is for Sissies. Best burgers, bar none. Marinated organic beef, bar-B Qed, loaded with cheese, mushrooms, tomato and mixed garden greens - to die for.

I don’t think they are into oral sex, Cliffy. They probably regard oral sex with the same disgust, revulsion as we do pedophilia over here. I have the feeling that oral sex is a Western invention.

It's been a long time. I think the last time we went through Winlaw and stopped at the restaurant on the main drag it was called the Duck Stop. We went in quacking. :D Good burgers, but no match for the Burger Baron.

I hear it is safe to blame it on the French. They did, after all, give us the tongue.;-)
