It is cruel.<br />MOSES: Ohhhhhh! So you are saying we should never eat milk and meat together.<br />GOD: No, what I'm saying is, never cook a calf in its mother's milk.<br />MOSES: Oh, Lord forgive my ignorance! What you are really saying is we should wait six hours after eating meat to eat milk so the two are not in our stomachs.<br />GOD: No, Moses, what I'm saying is, never cook a calf in its mother's milk!!!<br />MOSES: Oh, Lord! Please don't strike me down for my stupidity! What you mean is we should have a separate set of dishes for milk and a separate set for meat. And if we make a mistake we have to bury that dish outside...<br />GOD: Moses, do whatever you want....aunursanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-32561605481660740652015-07-27T11:14:19.931-07:002015-07-27T11:14:19.931-07:00aunursa, this is fine as long as it works...aunursa, this is fine as long as it works...Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-80919094102238610512015-07-27T08:47:40.810-07:002015-07-27T08:47:40.810-07:00Actually, Firedrake, the rabbis would debate the i...Actually, Firedrake, the rabbis would debate the issue. Rabbi Hillel said that B and C are allowed. And according to Rabbi Shammai, B and C are prohibited. Out of respect for both Rabbi Hillel and Rabbi Shammai, the tradition has been to allow C but not B.<br /><br />But some particularly observant communities prohibit C as well.aunursanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-54428825361162079692015-07-27T01:29:58.719-07:002015-07-27T01:29:58.719-07:00Man, all these complicated things to remember. Fir...Man, all these complicated things to remember. First it was "no means no", now it's "drunkenly passing out doesn't mean yes", what's a guy to do?<br /><br />Actually this reminds me of building a wall around the Torah. Act A is a sin, so in order to stop people doing it accidentally you discourage acts B and C which can lead to A. But then that means acts B and C are sinful, so (a) you find yourself discouraging acts D, E, F and G but also (b) once you've done B you're already sinning so you might as well carry on to A. (Thus similarly in places where "taking the first drink" is a sin people are much more likely to get drunk and incapable than in places where "getting drunk and incapable" is the sin.)<br /><br />Why, anybody would think the RTCs had <i>doubts</i>. Actually, since their whole culture is set up to induce inner doubt and outer confidence, it's not surprising.<br /><br />Come into the minor character cloud. We have beer and barbecue.<br /><br />Riiight, because all men are lust-driven monsters who cannot control themselves if alone with a woman. Obviously the answer to this is to restrict what the women can do, rather than say locking up men who can't behave like human beings.<br /><br />Yeah, keep listening to that inner voice. Especially when it starts talking about the knives. And the blood.<br /><br />Surely there's something on tvtropes about the NPC who exists solely to make a main character look good (in this case Vicki, Christian™ Relationship Counsellor)?<br /><br />Sticking a gun through the door? As in, the gun hand has come through but the rest of the goon hasn't? Man, where <i>do</i> these people go to tactics school? (The guy hiding round the side of the doorway can now take the gun away.)Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-47580395208798514032015-07-26T18:11:36.667-07:002015-07-26T18:11:36.667-07:00why exactly do the RTCs shy away from martyrdom?
