Ah comeon, like you can even have a 'best' religion without some sort of scale or issues of comparrison.
Well yes, to an extent... but I think he meant best on a personal level, rather then as a cold mathematical measurement. In other words, which faith "would suit YOU?"

And Jack, you'd probably be able to decide which superhero was best if they had a gun to your head

True that. For some of us this is like asking which is the best super hero from the comic books. "Best" in what way?
That was my take on it. What super hero would best rid me of the problem. Saving you from the mouse is the issue or do you anticipate death? In the anticipation of death (by mouse) what religion would you find best for the after life, etc...


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

He married here 9 but did not mate here except after she became adult.
In arab countries this is possible. Many girls in the hot regions become adult women between 9 and 13.
No, he married her at six or seven and consummated it at 9 or 10 when she hit puberty.

You have to understand that there are very strong taboos against this even in cases where the girl is sexually mature. Mental maturity is the key point. To do otherwise breaks the law, the taboo about harming children, and the taboo about treating women like property.

Once upon a time perhaps Islam could have destroyed Christianity. Its too late now. The Christians are remarkably adept at forgetting things; if they remembered their Bible properly there is nothing wrong with treating a woman like property. They're even supposed to wear veils.

Eventually Islam may forget veils and such and possibly replace big chunks of their prophet's life with wandering in the desert. Until that time you are fighting an uphill battle against a superior foe.


Destroying America one Volconvo post at a time.

Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause.

That was my take to. I figure if I meet anything as ridiculous as a mouse with a gun forcing me to choose then I had better pick the most ridiculous religion to counter it.
It was a tough choice between Roman catholic and jedi, But I think better to have the force than god I my side.
