It is fascinating what folks find tasty and what they find repugnant. I am pretty omnivorous... only real no go is raw cabbage. Otherwise, I am ok with everything else. It probably helps that I have no sense of smell.

That is rather funny - I like raw cabbage, but not coleslaw as I have a real aversion to mayonnaise. 

With no sense of smell, you could probably eat just about anything - or nothing.  Man, that's sort of depressing!

I love living in Nevada but something here gives me terrible allergies. If I travel somewhere else, sense of smell comes back within a few days. I remember living in Idaho and hearing people whine about allergies and I would always think, "Shut up and stop being such a ******". Payback is a bitch... 

Anyways, glad that you ventured over this way. I get the feeling that .org is done.

This is why it is wrong to eat the cow. The cow is holy. It gives the soul a place to rest. 

Then the soul comes back. If it was good before it will come back better and higher caste. If it was bad, it will be darker. If it was terrible, it could even become African in the next embodiment.

These facts are not popular, but they are still facts.

no knocks to any religion, but the way Christ had it you  come back with a clean slate.

if you are born then that is a chance to improve yourself.

Christ was misquoted on that one. He was not an eater of beef.

How could a person not like fish Skans?  Like shrimp-scallops-haddock-and lobster and clams. We had a lunch wagon that sold that crap.
BUT? fresh water fish- like togue-smelts- from the lakes? yuk!

Christ's teachings about reincarnation have been swept away by the christian churches.

I ate freshwater fish as a kid - had to clean and eat what I caught.  Until, one day, I owned up to the fact that I just didn't like the way it smelled or tasted.  I also can't stand the smell of fish cooking in a house or even a restaurant.  Why, you ask?  I have no idea.  My mom and dad liked fish, shrimp, lobster, etc, but only at restaurants. 

Personally, I think lobster, crab and especially shrimp look like variations of roaches and other bugs. YUCK!  With shrimp, you can even see their poop sack inside of them if you look close enough.  Freaking nasty water-bugs is what they are.  I have tried crab - tastes rather bland and rubbery to me.  I have tried squid - simply repulsive.  I have even tried eating a steamed oyster once - tasted like eating pure, hot fish-snot.

It's not that I won't ever eat certain kinds of non-fishy tasting fish.  I can eat it if I have to, but I just don't enjoy a damn thing about it!

They are Hindu beliefs. I doubt that anyone can prove that cows are holy, that people have immortal souls, or that people are reincarnated. And I doubt that every African is less fortunate than every Hindu.  I mean, there are lots of Africans that are lead quite pleasant lives.

The official Christians doctrine states that when you die, you remain dead until Jesus comes back.
When Jesus returns, all the people who have ever lived will be reincarnated and rise form the dead, and then will be judged by Jesus, who will send the bad ones to Hell and rule benevolently over all the reincarnated blessed people for a thousand years.
After a thousand years, all will ascend to Heaven forever and the Earth will be turned over to Satan.

This is described quite well in the Book of Revelation, which most Christians have never actually accepted as an accurate description of what happens when you die.

Most believe that at the moment of death, the soul leaves the body and ascends to the Pearly Gates of Heaven where St Peter admits or rejects the soul. This has been illustrated in many a Loony Toons cartoon and described in many more serious films. The whole idea of having to remain in a sort of slumber until Jesus returns is unappealing to most American Christians. And of course, what is described in the Book of Revelation does not agree with the writings of Paul, who does not seem to be familiar with said book.

If you disagree with me, read the Book of Revelation. I am not making anything up. Read the Apostles' Creed as well, which seems to agree with the Book of Revelation.

 2 Peter 3:9  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

by peter, one of Christ's disciples.

giving everyone more chances to go to heaven.
 

Jesus told a group of disciples after his brief return following the Resurrection, that he would return before the last of them has tasted death.
That was abut 2,000 years ago.
How, pray tell, is a 2,000 delay not slow?
Peter and Paul both believed and stated that they expected Jesus to return within their lifetimes.
Did He?
Signs point to NO,

And, Jesus fulfilled his promise.  He actually appeared (I believe) 9 times after his Resurrection.  So, explain how Jesus was "slow" in returning before the last of them tasted death?

of course the churches claim we have one life and are judged on that one life. eternal damnation is a pretty strong tool to get people to attend their churches and fill the coffers with tithes.

the  end of this world was the promise made by Christ---


matthew 24

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

the whole point of 2 peter 3 9 is showing that God is giving everyone as much time as it takes for everyone to go to heaven  because God wants no one to perish.
