'Nother off topic post. Sorry.

I think you strange buggers call jam, "jelly".

This is America, mate; we have jelly, jam and preserves.

So the difference is:

'Jelly' is an entirely strained 'jam' with no identifiable fruit product in it;
'Jam is a conserve of fruit that is palpable, you might find seeds or small squishy lumps of a fruit like apricot or cherry in it; and
'Preserves' have large identifiable parts of fruit product, like peel in marmalade; OR
'Preserves' are bottled whole fruit.
?

Hen, jelly is crushed strained fruit, mixed with pectin and sugar, so yes it does have identifiable fruit product -- the juice. Kind of like jelled wine
Jam has pieces/chunks of the fruit, the juice, pectin, and sugar.
Preserves is whole fruits, pectin, sugar. (As contrasted with canned fruit, which is whole fruit in juice or syrup, no pectin). Some people use the term interchangeably with jam.
Marmalade is jam or jelly with peel. Not as popular here as in the Commonwealth nations, but some of us like it.
We also have fruit "butter" which is the fruit cooked long and slow, with sugar and possibly spice, and them milled or sieved to be a soft consistency. We make this out of apples, peaches and even pumpkin.

There are radical Christian theologians who have also argued that Jesus's message - that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand - meant that in fact, Heaven is this life on earth, it is all there is, and our task is to love one another as God loves us because we each have God in us. He was truly radical and preached equality in this world - but the concept of afterlife and rewards to be gained there was a tool of the organized church influenced by the political powers of the day, to keep the oppressed in their place. Waiting to be rewarded in Heaven, accepting the suffering of this world as God's plan.

This is nothing new.

Well accepting suffering goes without saying...

The Four Noble Truths comprise the essence of Buddha's teachings, though they leave much left unexplained. They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering

The question is what are you going to do about it? Be only concerned with your own suffering, or try to help others with theirs?
