Religion in Small Doses

[Enterprise-D]

Umm...okay. Who said I agreed? Refer to when I said, it depends on the religion. Regardless, she has every right to refuse the food, and I'm saying this as a Muslim.

That's a shame, but she has every right to do that. Deal with it.

I think the point of the discourse you responded to was the fact that those people are perfect examples of the results of religion overdose.

Clearly, with their rights as individuals, they can accept or refuse anything they want to for any reason they flim-flam out of their imaginations. However, the 'reasoning' behind it was the point of the story...that they would deny themselves food or deflect basic social interaction for outdated religious reasons.

if you are at the sore throat stage try eating a little bit of grated ginger with salt from time to time

ginger + salt it is - I'll give it a go thanks

religious extremism tends to mean acts done in the name of religion that contravene currently held social norms

that's good definition - in relation to current social norms
