Honest question. Is this site a religious site?

[follderol]

It seems to me there's a large amount of Christian posts. I've also noticed a fair amount of disapproval for other religions.

I am an atheist. I don't really want to be part of a christian site posing as a parenting site.

So is this actually a Christian place?

no, it's a chunky Kitkat. Soaks up the tea beautifully, and makes it all lovely and chocolatey.

unfortunately, most church are unable to offer the chunky KitKat due to budgetary constraints.

gingernuts

not sure if this equates to nonconformism (brought up in) or my foray into happy-clappy land (teens)

suspect I am something like an English Presbyterian by temperament, though they no longer exist

yes they do. I know an english presbyterian..

der-de-der-de...it's...RationalMan! With his scaldingly hot tea of Logic! Reduces even the tastiest biscuit to sludge! Fells all talk of the meaning of our existence with one gulp!

Iorek, religion and Rich Tea are rather along the lines of 'he really is not disgusting' in Daniel D.?

Let's do you: fav bisuit please.

thought they were absorbed into the URC?

could be a schism

Never mind biscuits, what about the theology of home-made bread for the eucharist then, eh! Made to a special recipe too, and lightly dusted with flour before being wrapped in a clean teatowel to stop it from getting crusty...

is there a schismatic biscuit?

You see, uqd, there's the thing right there. If you have a very crumbly shortbread in your hand, you don't dunk it in hot tea because you know that is not what it is for. You eat it. Unless of course you just want to prove to the world that it is nothing but butter, flour and sugar after all (see Threadworm's of 11:59:34). But you would have to be something like Professor Yaffle to miss the point quite so spectacularly.

Chocolate digestives. You have the ruddy, earthy simplicity of the digestive, juxtaposed with the luxurious sweetness of the chocolate layer. It'll all end in tears.

Iorek:

Effie, I was just thinking of gingernuts. Definitely for non-conformists.

Now the question is, UQD, can you make chocolate biscuits with breadcrumbs and butterbeans?

And a selection of hand-baked wholesome organic biscuits and cakes denotes a church of any denomination with a desirable primary school attached, with loads of ambitious mothers trying to ingratiate themselves in the run-up to admissions deadline.

Yes, Kay. Although I would go further and say the chocolate hobnob is the true biscuit of the schism. I have always felt that the hobnob was quite complete on its own, and that the addition of chocolate makes it a very difficult biscuit conceptually. Part wholesome oatiness, part shameless luxury. It cannot end well.

I enjoy the Bagpuss references. I enjoy even more being told I have missed the "point" when my point is that there isn't one.

A biscuit is butter, flour and sugar. Of course. Doesn't stop it being a pleasant biscuit. But it does stop it being a product of a non-existent piece of supernatural woo-ery.

No point to a biscuit? Thor help us.

Are you saying there is no biscuit UQD??

How did this swithc to biscuits? I'll just add garibaldi shall I?

Of course there is a biscuit and of course there is a point to it! But it is an earthly pleasure. No more.

It's a conspiracy, follderol. Turn your back for five minutes in this place and your thread gets hijacked by baked goods.

oh yes UQD but really is there no moment when you bite into the crumbly biscuit and are instantly transported into the divine? HMM?

Do you think that if I go and ask in the Philly, Reggie and Spirry section what people think prayer is "for" (because I don't understand it, apparently, being all dim and that ) I will get some sensible answers?

see its not a religious site by stealth its a baked goods site by stealth.

Personally I don;t beleive in baked goods but try to be tolerant to those who can;t get through the day without them.
