Well I hope they're not as bizarre as Picard's.
What a load of crap.
What would you have said were Ms. Picard a Muslim?
If they were a convert like the above, quite probably. If they were brought up Muslim, it depends. But I have said similar things to cultural Muslims over the years, and said something similar only yesterday to a Muslim friend when I was helping her out with a spot of gardening. I'm not Muslim, but I live among Muslims. We have all kinds of banter about all kinds of things. In fact, I don't come across many Christians these days. Probably more on this site than in real life. I find all of these ideas to be a
bit mad. But having a heavy dose of Catholicism as a child, I can understand and empathize with the cultural aspects. When people start justifying irrational beliefs as adults
out of the blue, there isn't much excuse. (IMG:
