"America is a Christian nation because we sell bacon" (but what if - I'm a vegetarian?!?)

[kpete]

Religious right leader Bryan Fischer, of the American Family Association, offered definitive “proof” the other day as to why America is a “Christian” nation and not a “Jewish” nation.

You want one single item of proof that America is a Christian nation and not a Jewish nation and not an Islamic nation?” he asked. “One single bit of proof is all you need: we freely allow restaurants and grocery stores to sell and to serve bacon. That can only happen in a Christian country.”

“So the sheer fact that we freely allow the sale and consumption of bacon,” he continued, “is absolute proof that we are, in fact, a Christian nation.

1. And atheists, humanists, and freethinkers eat bacon.

Therefore this criteria by itself makes the United States a nation without a religion.

(Spare me from such pedestrian debate.)

2. Well, then! Praise the Lord! China is a Christian nation, too! And Japan!

3. Arguments like tjhat

can only reinforce the prejudice of already noncritical believers. Frankly, it's lazy thinking.

religious nutbag

6. Awesome, if bacon becomes a sacrament, I might go to Church more often.

10. oh boy

he specifically says "sell" if you chose not to eat it then so be it.

11. That creates mental pictures one should not have

Imagine using pieces of bacon and PBR in the communion ceremony instead of wine and tasteless crackers.

12. Oi... So we are also a Jewish nation because

we sell bagels...the man is mashugana. So what would it mean when we sell bagels with bacon and eggs sandwiches? Other than good eats.

So he his talking about Kosher and Halal laws that restrict the consumption of certain foods. Nope still not a person with both oars in the water.
