Paul was a liar and apostle wanna be. He won the battle against the early Jerusalem church and we are stuck with his stupid ravings to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-77285922677248158782011-11-23T07:29:18.674-08:002011-11-23T07:29:18.674-08:00"As to the prayers to Allah and Muslim blessi..."As to the prayers to Allah and Muslim blessings, since there is no such thing as Allah, who really cares?"<br /><br />How do you know there is no such thing as Allah? How do you think the universe was created? How do you think life was created? By accident? Please- the creation points to a Creator, which is Allah. <br /><br />Do you discount the testimony of MILLIONS of Muslims who have experienced the life changing blessings of Allah? Experienced the miraculous healing of Allah? Experienced a personal relationship with Allah? These things are evidence for the existence of Allah.<br /><br />Only someone who has blinded themselves can say that there is no Allah.<br /><br />Paul RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-73982559646060365332011-11-22T15:05:12.249-08:002011-11-22T15:05:12.249-08:00Who cares?

"Halal" doesn't either.<br /><br />I give no credence to any imaginary god or the rituals assoctiated with that non-existent entity.Allen C.

It probably just means that they were slaughtered in accordance with the dietary standards. Just because something is "kosher" doesn't mean a rabbi blessed it, but merely that it was prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary requirements. Now, if it said, "Kosher for Passover," now that might mean that a rabbi did pray over it. Even if an imam did "dedicate" your turkey to Allah, Paul clearly says that this means nothing, either one way or the other, so obviously no one should be twisting their knickers over this. I know I won't be twisting mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-9362970166290740172011-11-22T10:19:51.990-08:002011-11-22T10:19:51.990-08:00The COGgers who would worry about this simply do n...The COGgers who would worry about this simply do not trust God. There is a lot worse stuff that happens to our foods in processing than adhering to Muslim standards. I, too, hate the increasing Muslim influence on our American way of life, but the bottom line is that these turkeys are apparently being subjected to another set of checks and balances, with the consequence being that they are probably higher quality than turkeys which are not. <br /><br />As to the prayers to Allah and Muslim blessings, since there is no such thing as Allah, who really cares? <br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
