1. First off...

..31 yo man and 19 woman? interesting. Second...she takes her religion waaaaay too seriously.

[Jacobin]

2. .......

Alrighty, then.

What the world faces in fundamentalism. An argument over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin goes bad.

:eyes:

[NoPasaran]

3. Boiling oil doesn't kill people.... n/t

[Forkboy]

[Ferretherder]

5. But, it, you know,...

...'smarts' a bit.

[Boomer]

6. Nah, it doesn't kill ya...

so who cares if his face is disfigured by scars for the rest of his life.

[sofa king]

15. "Jebus kills people..."

Okay, I'm going to hell for that. That, and that funeral home incident.

[SquireJons]

32. If you take your religion literally...

... then god is the greatest mass murderer of all time, for he is the arbitrator of all life.

Doesn't work for me though.

If you find yourself on the train to hell, look for me in the lounge. I'll be at that station one day, but I doubt the trains will be running; uptown or downtown.

[Terran]

26. And your point would beeeeee...?

I have no doubt it *could* kill someone, if used correctly. But why do you feel it necessary to make that remark?

[Bandit]

28. Yes and Bush* is a great leader too.

:shrug:

[bleedingheart]

7. hmmm....wonder what Jesus would say about this?

what verse were they arguing over....that's what I want to know...

[treepig]

8. suggestion for mr. ashcroft

use boiling oil for your next annointment.

and don't be shy, use lot's of it!

[SpiralHawk]

9. French Fries or Freedom Fries?

This is something that one of the crack Faux TV reporters should investigate and clarify.

[2cents]

10. Extreme anointing?

That'll teach him a wesson.

[gratuitous]

16. I don't know about sofa king

But you, 2cents, are definitely going to Aitch Ee Double Hockey Sticks for that one!

[2cents]

17. Oil's well that ends well (done)...ba-dum-bum

[Nlighten1]

11. Fundy Xians hella suck...

And they are hella stupid.

[ze_dscherman]

12. Better not argue with a fundie

They got persuasive arguments

[loudsue]

13. Fundies are VIOLENT and extreme....

They have so much anger in their hearts they will never be able to follow the teachings they profess to support.

"The Devil's in the details"...and fundies love those details!

:kick:

[DS1]

30. I thought God was in the details..

[thebaghwan]

14. Having lived in Oregon an d spent a lot of time there, I have come to the

belief that a sub species of human kind dwells there. Neanderthalis Oregonis. This helps confirm that belief.

[barbaraann]

19. Um, no, that subspecies is the billionaires in Washington State.

This state is run for their pleasure and profit and the rest of us are dirt.

[johnnie]

18. I don't know if I should laugh at this...

It's funny as hell and at the same time, I feel bad that the guy got deep fried over a biblical passage. Like they say though, never argue politics or religion.

[xchrom]

20. this is sad...

but i can't stop laughing.

[jobycom]

21. Seems more of a result of a violent boyfriend than a Bible argument

I know the Bible angle is a lot of fun, but whatever the cause of the argument, the story says that he tried to grab her from behind. That may have been more of a factor then a Bible verse.

Of course, I do want to know what verse it was.

[Politicub]

27. A violent boyfriend LOL

She wasn't the one anointed with the canola oil.

[jobycom]

29. He grabbed her first, according to the article. nt.

[davidinalameda]

22. that's why I bake my french fries

no temptation to throw hot oil

:shrug:

[icymist]

23. They must of missed the commandment that reads.....

"Thou shalt not throw boiling oil on one another whilst arguing over mine words".

[struggle4progress]

24. No information on the Bible verse ...

nor any details on the theological dispute?

[Politicub]

25. Thou aniontest my head with oil

Yikes!

:crazy: :wtf:

[maxsolomon]

31. prediction: verse told women to obey their husbands.

or that was his INTERPRETATION.
