Do Christians Eat Turkey?

Trust me Jeff, Christians eat everything in sight. Early Judaisim put rules on food consumption, which many Moslems also follow, on food that carried many parasites as well as bactaria that would still be alive if the food was not cooked thoroughly and though rare, could still happen today. These foods are many shellfish, and pork.

The trouble with a Turkey is if you get an old bird, they tend to be drier meat than a young Turkey. Guess turkeys follow the road of life LOL

I think you got it backwards. Christians eat turkey, but it's Turkeys that won't eat Christians. They tend to get drier as they age.

Yes Coasterboy you are quite correct. However, Lions adore eating Christians! And have been known to have a good chomp on them from time to time!

I suppose you were trying to be funny, but making a joke about the persucution of Christians during the Roman Empire is equivalent to making a joke about the Holocoust during WWII. It simply isn't in good taste.

Or the English persecution of the Scots and Irish, or American persecution on native Indians, or Australians of Aborigines, or Christians of various countless "opposing" factions etc etc. My point is quite simple..lighten up! If we didn't tell jokes for fear of offending people due to something that happened years and years ago then we would live in a humourless and sanctimonious world. Which is a far more dangerous thing than the odd gaga about lions eating christians.

Jeff,

I can relate, sort of.

I am a Christian, but an oddity about myself is that I NEVER drink anything carbonated. But it has NOTHING to do with any type of religious conviction.

No Coke, no Pepsi, no Dr. Pepper, no gingerale, no seltzer, no pop of any sort, not even a slurpee or carbonated slushie, etc etc etc.

The story goes, when I was a Senior in High School I was completely addicted to caffine and pop... no joke. As silly as it sounds, I was developing a gut from it. So I decided to give it up as a personal challenge and 14 years after that decision I have yet to drink another. Well, once at CP I tried a seltzer while in a 102 degree Raptor line up. I took one sip and couldn't stand it. It burned my throat too much.

Anyway..... it has always been awkward because when I get offered something to drink, I only request water or tea. Typically it always involes me having to explain that I do not drink carbonated drinks. 9 times out of 10 it gets met with a comment like "Why, are you Mormon or something?"

I have yet to figure out what not drinking pop has to do with religion. But I do eat Turkey.

Well, I'm a Christian, and I eat turkey! In fact, I'm Baptist, and we are kinda known for being big eaters! haha We love our fellowships! BACD (Bring a covered dish) :-)

I'm with Brian on his comment also. I don't see why we need to pick on any group to be funny. There are plenty more things to laugh about.

><> Aaron <><

Are most jokes though not about particular groups or people? I'll have to start a joke thread! LOL

amen
I am a christian and proud of it and to make a comment about that which is totally false about the lions eating us is sorry to say stupid. Read in the bible he got protected from god so he didnt get eaten. Also to say we get more educated and less dry when we get older. I dont want to defend all christians only myself. Just to let you know you guys offended many people for saying all that stuff. Good job Brian for saying your comment.

That was right after i read how many christians responded. Many jokes are about people but not towards a religion or race. I mean just be clean and we can have a good time guys. You dont have to make comments about christians and turkeys. Just like saying do mormons drink coke? I mean it is pointless. Good job my christian brothers for standing up for what we believe is right.

I think it all comes down to a persons sense of himour as well. Some people don't mind jokes being made about themselves whilst others can't deal with it. I'm English, and if I watch the Austin powers films there are lots of jokes about the English and I can laugh at them. It's only when a joke is meant to be malicious and hurt is when it is wrong.

And that is what I believe is right,

eat turkey. I heard a funny thing on the radio once about the Butterball Turkey Hotline. Supposedly this is true: The Butterball Hotline was created to help people figure out any turkey gliches they might have; ie: how to cook it, how long it's to thaw before cooking, if the packaged innerds get stuck, etc. etc.

Someone called up and said they had a turkey in their freezer for ten years, said it had never been unfrozen, never touched and was it still any good?
The Butterball Hotline asked them why it was in there after ten years and the person replyed that they just hadn't gotten around to thawing it out and eating it.
The people at the hotline suggested that the turkey
probably wasn't too good and stated that it probably didn't have any nutritional value at the very least.
So, the person who'd called said "That's ok, I'll donate it to my church."

Or the English persecution of the Scots and Irish, or American persecution on native Indians, or Australians of Aborigines, or Christians of various countless "opposing" factions etc etc. My point is quite simple..lighten up! If we didn't tell jokes for fear of offending people due to something that happened years and years ago then we would live in a humourless and sanctimonious world. Which is a far more dangerous thing than the odd gaga about lions eating christians.

I'm what they call a bridge builder, I'm mostly Irish and Welsh(Cymraeg) with a bit of English and French, so basically I'm nothing but history. Being of these many backgrounds, I think I have the right to make a joke or two, and that is alright. But when my friend who is Fillipino and Spanish makes a joke about my backgrounds, I'm not exactly a big fan of it. he's always reminding me that the English can't cook, the Irish are big drinkers, though I know a few who are, and that the Welsh are pretty much insignificant.

Another thing that bothers me is the Americans need to tear the French, and sometimes canadians a new arse hole because we wanted no part of the war. Even if I weren't french, I'd still be quite pissed about it.

don't get me wrong though, I do love a good joke though, and maybe it wasn't called for, but that lions like christians joke was funny. I have a friend who is a minister, and when we worked at an Esso here in Windsor years ago, he'd be telling me jokes that i didn't think he'd tell. Of course though, saying; Jesus walks into a hotel with three nails and says can you put me up for the night, and other jesus jokes were off limits. I am sorry if i offended anyone, but just trying to make a point.
