Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted February 10, 2013 For a mo, I thought it said the Rabbit thread. That would have made sense as, im sure there are plenty of dead ones in bed side drawers up and down the country. Is there not a thread for dead religious leaders or summat?

Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted February 10, 2013 Not sure. There is one for the Cardinals of the Roman Catholis Church. Thought I'd balance it up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted February 10, 2013 Not sure. There is one for the Cardinals of the Roman Catholis Church. Thought I'd balance it up a bit. Thats fair enough. We will have to start additional threads should an Islamic religious leader pop their clogs. So long as we do it with reverence, we shouldnt have any Fatwas raised against us or summat.

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted April 10, 2013 this is an excellent thread topic Paul Bearer. I had been wondering where to list the dead rabbis but most times when one has been ready for listing I have thought maybe people wouldn't be too interested. Now with a thread perhaps they will be.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 27, 2019 Argentina and Israel's leaders denounced Tuesday a brutal home attack on Argentina's chief rabbi, who was rushed to the hospital and reportedly suffered fractured ribs and a punctured lung. "We must not allow anti-Semitism to rear its head. I strongly condemn recent anti-Semitic incidents and call on the international community to act against it," Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday morning. Israel's President Reuben Rivlin spoke with Rabbi Gabriel Davidovich over the phone from the hospital. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted February 27, 2019 "I used to go to New York University a long time ago, which is in Greenwich Village, that's where I started, and I was, ah, in love in my freshman year, but I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic, y'know. We didn't know which religion not to bring the children up in. And I bummed around for a long time, and I met my wife, and we got married against my parents' wishes, we were married in Long Island, in New York, we were married by a reformed rabbi in Long Island... a very reformed rabbi... a Nazi." - Woody Allen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
