Is this settled science yet?

Interesting.
I knew a fella that was Christian (Baptist maybe?) that converted to Islam. Completely changed his life, no more drinkin', gamblin' and whorin' around. Nice guy.
And there was the Catholic fella that converted to Buddhism. Another nice guy.
And what about those who go Jewish?

Geno Only Muslin guy I ever knew well was one I went to college with(we shot pool every Tuesday, back in 1995), used to hang out mostly with a little irish guy. Those two used to smoke too much. Other than that, the only difference between him and the rest of the guys I shot pool with was he only drank vodka. Said he wasn't supposed to drink booze made from grain or grapes, but potatoes were alright. Seemed like a decent enough guy.

the variety of desert fathers "out there' were pretty diverse...
and what they may have agreed upon at Ecumenical Councils like Nicaea 325( through duress or other influences) was not what they necessarily went back and began to preach....some simply agreed in the presence of the council, yet returned home and largely carried on with their own differing established beliefs. the Christian story has got more holes in it than Swiss cheese...yet there be billions of bible or crucifix toting clowns claiming to know [their own convenient preferred version] of what they allege is the truth. One would have to wonder why a brilliant God would create such a widely stupid lot.

After this is settled, perhaps we can hit on the Civil War.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

Alright, but did he make sure that vodka wasn't distilled from grain as a large proportion of it is? Geno
