If you do go for the bash, just how many "christians who pick and choose what choice parts of the testaments they wish to mould to serve their own particular 'beliefs'!" are cutting peoples heads off and throwing people off buildings because they don't deem them christian enough?

Have you heard of the Lord's Resistance Army?
Or those really sick Christians who strap a convict to a chair and electrocute them to death?

Not heard of the LRA.

Personally I am for the death penalty if its for henious crimes after a proper legal trial and prosecution but adultery, being gay and not being islamic seem a bit heavy handed - even for my love of tough justice.

Don't get drawn in.

Yay. Let's bash Christianity and Anglo Saxon values.

Yes, because you're so awesome to have been born somewhere that means you were indoctrinated into worshipping the right sky fairy

How bloody brilliant of you! Well done

And as usual, you miss the point entirely.

Can you not post without sarcasm. I tend to access the forum using the mobile app, and with iPhones the keyboard is a bit small and the autocorrect can make amusing mistakes.

However as its clear that you only have a basic grasp of English, otherwise you'd see past the odd grammar and spelling issue to read and understand the context of the words and sentences I construct. Or maybe you just like being obtuse for the sake of it.

Whats a kaffir?

 

[kelack]

Not heard of the LRA.

And why does that not surprise anyone?

Oh now steady on...no one deserves that kind of cruel and unusual punishment!

Something to do with the lime leaves I put in my Thai curry

Absolutely. I was indiscriminate with that comment. However in this comment it is irrelevant as I doubt there were many Christians there

My understanding of the word kaffir was an insult to a black South African.

From Googling, it looks like you meant 'kafir'.

Do you not do much oriental cooking Steve?

He didn't spell it wrong...

He's a genius but his keyboard lets him down.

No I do not.

 

[Phil V]

No I do not.

You should, it's relaxing, tasty and gives an understanding of other cultures, and tasty.

Did I mention tasty?

 

[Cobra]

He didn't spell it wrong...

And just to quantify via Wiki
The kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix), sometimes referred to in English as the makrut lime or Mauritius papeda, is a fruit native to tropical Asia including India,Nepal, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

I do enjoy food but I prefer French, Spanish and Italian cuisine.

 

[Ricardodaforce]

No I do not.

You're missing a trick son. I can imagine you preparing some chicken right wings followed by Eton Hess or a cake full of nazipan.

France was great, horse steak, snails, Fois gras (yes I spelt it wrong but I am sure you can follow) fillet of beef, the sauces and their food just is IMHO second to none.Spain was ok there, the veal guts tapas a real highlight.

Yes, it is a derogatory term for a black South African, and you still hear it occasionally. It's derived from Arabic, roughly translated as 'unbeliever', and was originally used in that context.

'Kaffir lime' leaves are sold in SA under that name, and no-one gets excited about it.

Aren't they the dyslexic group wanting 'one Ireland'?

Never really rated French food - would replace that with Thai.

I was going to suggest that the thread was split so the less serious water on Mars part didn't detract from the tragic event in Saudi Arabia.

It kinda was morphing into a food thread before the Mars thing,
but its all here now
