Religion.

Inadvance I shall apologies if I'm upsetting anyone with this,but, on the way to the cricket today myself & Mrs.MOG started talking about why a Kent cricketer doesn't have the "Spitfire" beer logo on his shirt. We agreed that its probably down to religious reasons.
She is (meant to be)a Hindu, I was christened a Catholic.
Hindu's don't:
1). Eat meat
2). Drink alcohol
3). Have sex outside marriage
4). Smoke
and she couldn't remember 5.


Catholics don't wear condoms.
& thats all I can remember.

I'm not having a pop at anyone, or any religion, but would genuinely like to know how any religion could be summed up in 5 sentences.
For once I'm being serious.

Thank You.

    Which cricketer are you referring to?

    I presume Azhar Mahmood who is Islamic and Muslims of course don't drink alcohol (well not officially). The SA cricket team are sponsored by Castle Lager, Hashim Amla wears a shirt without their logo on.

    I think Hindus do eat meat, just not beef, although some sects are vegetarian.

    Surely Catholics have loads of rules. I can think of 10 commandments straight away! ;)

    Hope those refusing to wear the sponsors logo get paid less...


    Sorry but all religion is about power and control using fear as a weapon.

    fear is the path to the dark side. fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate leads to suffering - jedi

    As a catholic you never be able to eat meat on a Friday, but it seems to be OK now. Good old Jesus, relaxing the rules so his flock can enjoy a steak dinner!

    I've always found most religions make their own interpertation of rules from a bigger list. It's a kind of 'Pick and Mix' :)

    Does CAFC allow sex before marriage though?

    Goud Saraswat Brahmins and Kashmiri Pandits consume meat and fish.
