No. You posted you were celebrating Passover by eating a bacon cheeseburger on matza to make a point about how you feel about religious rituals.No. I said I was eating a bacon cheeseburger on a regular bun while thinking about matzoh to indicate how far removed I was from actually intending to observe Passover. I used the word "celebrate" for the irony value. Then you arbitrarily decided that if I used the word "celebrate" it must, necessarily, imply that I was intending to follow the rituals associated with Passover with the goal of conducting a religious ceremony, and intentionally doing so in the "wrong" fashion for the sole purpose of mocking the ceremony and the religion that called for it. Take a peak at the "Nilogic" thread where a few posters complained I was being irrational for assuming the phrase "I support the verdict" implied the statement "I believe the verdict was correctly rendered on the facts of the case." Because your, erm, unorthodox interpretation of the word "celebrate" is making that look decidedly ironic right now. You seem to not comprehend what I write. If that was the ONLY day you set up there, it would be a problem. If you did it on a regular basis, it would be fine. See the difference? You don't seem to comprehend what I write. If the street outside the synagogue has plenty of foot traffic other than the patrons of said synagogue, and I set up on Yom Kippur because it's a holiday and I have the day off, then it's not a problem at all— it's me using what free time I have in the manner in which I choose, and it's none of your business. If you claim it's a "problem" for me to sell food to people who want to buy it simply because you are fasting, then you are the one being offensive. |
