THE row over faith-based meat has escalated with Anglicans demanding that packaging shows an image of Jesus eating a large sausage.
The Archbishop of Canterbury insisted secular meat is ‘no longer feasible’ and that supermarket shoppers should be able identify Muslim meat, Christian meat, Hindu meat and Voodoo meat.
He said: “Jesus wanted everyone to enjoy meat, particularly sausages. It was the main reason he was crucified.
“I fully respect Islamic meat faith, Hindu beef dogma and the Jewish Sin of Bacon, as well as Buddhist meat-free reincarnation magic and the Voodoo chicken thing.
“But Christians deserve the same respect for their meat religion.”
He added: “As for how the animals are killed, I’m not a vet, but have we tried hitting them over the head with a large, metal cross?
“Like I say, I’m not a vet.”
Meanwhile, supermarkets have offered a compromise which would involve meat packing showing a photo of the abattoir employee who killed the animal.
Tom Logan, a marketing consultant, said: “We could have a picture of ‘Brian’ giving a big ‘thumbs-up’, accompanied by a few words telling us something about him – he’s married to Helen, he enjoys cycling and his favourite film is You’ve Got Mail.
“But some consumers may not be ‘Brian fans’ and would prefer to eat animals killed by ‘Alan’ or ‘Sarah’ or ‘Geoff’.
“They could follow their favourites on social media and have conventions every year where they gather at a three-star hotel and watch Geoff kill a pony.”

I realize that The Archbishop Of Canterbury is kind of a ninny, but not even he would be dopey enough to say the quotes attributed to him...

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! Nice one, Gob.
Uh, Jim, if you follow the link, you'll see that this is merely Gob's (or someone's) reinterpretation of the actual story, which is a resuscitation of a Daily Mail story Gob brought us a few years ago.Lord Jim wrote:Not buying this...

Re: Christian meat labelling.
Bangers and mash all round then?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
