The dangers of the interfaith luncheon

[onager]

DISCLAIMER: Posted in the Atheists/Agnostics Group, a safe haven where we eat everything. Especially plump Xian babies.

Planning a nice ecumenical lucnheon? CAREFUL! Serve pork, and the Muslims and Jews won't come. Don't serve pork and you've pissed off the Orthodox Macedonians, for whom pork-noshing is central to their beliefs.

Serve beef and the Hindus won't come. Etc. etc.

Maybe everybody should just brown-bag it, with their individual god-approved lunches.

4. So, basically, because of all the supernatural Woo drivel,

a bunch of people can't even have lunch together.

Ah, religion, how it does bring people together!

6. What, they don't have Boca Burgers and Smart Dogs over there?

How about PB&J?

Is there anything in the holy books about peanuts?

7. I remember Catholics weren't supposed to eat meat on Fridays

or was that at Friday's .....
