  • Your daughter will become a Buddhist
     OP - December 03, 2010, 05:23 PM

    Salaam all,

      I'm relatively new to labeling myself a non-theist though I've always been a skeptic.  I've been looking for a place to gain both support and share ideas, especially with those who come from a similar background.  Some sites I've found are too extreme for me, I prefer the balanced view I've seen on videos associated with this site on youtube. 

      I told some family members a few months ago that I am no longer a believer, some went ballistic (and they have come around now), others took it in stride, a few that I prefer don't know until I am comfortable with the label myself and still others can't understand why I refuse to pretend like they do.  One of my more devout family members recently decided to speak to me, to try to set me back on the "right" path.  She used a great deal of emotional arguments to try to sway me, using personal anecdotes.  She was pleasant throughout until she found that none of this swayed me in the least bit, I kind of found her logic amusing, as at one point she asked "so what...now you want to be a christian?!" and "your daughter will become a buddhist!"

    Hi Teetertotter,   Eating pork is no big deal. I don't eat it anymore after doing so for over 60 years. That move has cut my once-high cholesterol to ziltch, so beware.
    Good luck with the family and teaching how to think for themselves. At least they're not fratricidal.
    Oh, welcome to the forum.

    Never mind pork and alcohol, have you ever tried human foetuses?  It is considered a delicacy and all aspiring atheists must eat swallow 5 of them in front of a specially chosen panel to be accepted within the community

    Pork is delicious, you should try it. Afro

    Pigs are disgusting animals. Plus they are furry mammals with snouts and all that. And they look like much of what humans have depicted as demons in mythology.

    But their meat is worth having on your tastebuds. The fats/oil oozing from the meat makes your tongue water.

    I would recommend Western and Chinese. My fav Western is little bits of deep fried bacon with mashed potatoes or bacons as in with breakfast scrambled eggs, sausages and strips of bacons. As for Chinese, sweet and sour pork, pieces of pork with their fats on in pork rice, or pork rib soup with soy sauce and tea mmm yummm...

    That's interesting...

    I have very low cholesterol levels, especially LDL cholesterol.
    And I eat a shitload of pork :O

    It all depends on your genes, I guess.  High cholesterol certainly runs through  both my families but we seem benefit from it whilst young by being more active than the average.  In successive generations we've excelled at football, athletics, hockey, netball , wrestling, swimming and cycling.
    But from the mid 50s we start to suffer from one form of heart disease or another, in my case Angina.  The high cholesterol is marvellous fuel when you're young and fit but becomes a liability as one becomes more sedentary in old age and don't burn it off.
    We've always been great pork eaters and my grandparents even reared their own animals for the table.  Pork throughout the Winter was one of the things that made life bearable at these seasonal latitudes, before supermarkets and food-excess.

    And no, pigs are not disgusting animals, they are omnivores, like us. It's the filthy conditions some people keep them in that's disgusting.

    And, 'furry animals with snouts and all that' - Have a good look in the mirror. Notice the similarities: bi-radial symmetry (2 focusable eyes, eye lashes, 2 nostrils on the end of a fused snout, furry eye brows, fur all over your head, furry limbs, furry face if you're male, strange ability to grunt when you first get out of bed, stretching and scratching [esp the furry bits], need I go on.

    Great recipe though. But I'd add pig-fry to your list. Originally made from any small bits left over after butchering out the large sections, this most delicious offering of the pig to Humanity comprises muscle meat with fat attached, liver, kidneys, small-end chops maybe and sausages, all done in a slow-oven casserole with sage, onion and pepper and apple, perhaps.  Add gravy salts when the meat is about to dissolve and serve piping-hot with creamy mashed pots and 2 veg.  Food heaven.

    I used to drink alcohol with other Muslims on the sly, but never liked the taste.  I have yet to change anything fundamental about my character, I think this confuses my family - they are watching me to see when I'll start participating in orgies or something.
