And they're serious.

The anal sex bits are hilarious

Is this like the Imam who's fatwa claims that marriages are automagically annulled if you have sex while being completely naked?

Wait... I thought Christians were the Evil Oppressors(tm)?

I marvel at the genius who researched all that stuff and wrote it up.
I marvel at the bigger genius who brings us such links to read.

I agree. Linking is hard work.

Yeah, what the fuck is wrong with people, trying to stimulate discussion? Fucking idiots.

Well, they're trying to stimulate discussion about whether it's okay to stick it in the pooper because of some thousand year old text.

I was talking about the "geniuses who post links" comment.

The openness is refreshing. Here's a religion that seeks to find a balance between everything-is-permitted and everything-is-prohibited.

I remember reading about the head-honcho Shi'a Imam who was approached by a transexual asking for permission for sexual reassignment surgery (no Iranian doctor would perform it without permission). The Imam considered the request, read his texts, read the medical background on transexuality, and rules a fatwa that, yes, sexual reassignment surgery is permissible with the rationale that 'it is important to have a well-definded sex in order to perform the correct religious duties'.

Yeah but whatever you do, don't look at your hoo-ha after you get one, no matter how tempted you are.

I think the officail name of the surgery was hoo-ha-ectomy.

I thought it was an addadictomy.
