A very good point. Speaking on behalf of ALL Christians EVER, I will happily raise the challenge.
Speak up, Jainist cowards!

See, there's the problem right there. Jainists don't want to accidentally step on insects, and this place is too full of crickets and cockroaches.

The Jainest death toll at the JREF is indeed an eye opening one

Is it that they don't want to step on them, or that they are afraid of them. Hmm? Hmm?

bokonon · 20th December 2010, 04:17 PM

They're afraid. They're very afraid.

They're very afraid they might accidentally step on them, or accidentally eat them.

I think the better question is why 6 is afraid of 7. (Yeah, I went there).

I don't think this thread has a rail. It's just a response to various threads that have come about recently (most of which are responses to each other).

Examples of said threads:
-"Why is Richard Dawkins afraid of Dennis Prager?"
-"Is Dennis Prager afraid of JREF?"
-"Why are Jews afraid of?"
-"Why are Christians afraid of JREF?"

Spell now correctly, and encourage Thunder to embrace who he really is with or without the kilt.

They're afraid because they think we'll force their priests to put on pants.
