(39,378 posts)They're willing to edit their "beliefs" to make them more palatable to others, or to appear to be less insane. No shellfish became Shellfish is Fine. A Man Should Never Shave became It's Ok to Shave. No Meat on Fridays became, Meat is Ok on Fridays. No Driving on Sabbath became Park Around the Corner from the Temple and walk the last 40 yards on Sabbath.
I'm not mocking the religious, but poking a little fun at how certain aspects can be edited for comfort or the times, yet other doctrine are so steadfast that they'll be strictly adhered to.... until word comes from on high to edit those as well. The trick is not to deviate from the dogma before the ones in charge decide it's Ok.
I'll be over here burning in Hell.... except that I don't believe in Hell
