He was a smart guy, and willing to discuss his beliefs without any intent to proselytise. He never started that conversation, I was the one curious about it. Once he was insisting with me that I should try some new import beer that he just got. I asked him how could he encourage me to drink, if he was my friend and believed that to be a sin. He said: "you are lucky. you don't know any better, so Allah doesn't mind". So I follow his advice to this day and steer clear of any religious enlightenment that could interfere with life's little pleasures! :) Cheers, Telmo. * in the european sense, so it also served booze > > Kim Jones > > > > > Brent > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Everything List" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/everything-list. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
