Re: jesus as a sausage roll

The figure on the left looks like he is stuffed and couldn't eat another thing.
The one on the right appears to have heart-burn.
The one in the middle seems to be cuddling a large can of strong-brew.

As for the sausage roll itself, it looks decidedly unappetising.

I doubt any offence was intended by Greggs. It doesn't depict a biblical scene as far as I am aware, so I don't see a problem.

I just wish everyone could get along and celebrate whichever Winter Solstice Festival they find least offensive.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

I haven't been to Greggs for years but sausage roll gate would not stop me going there. I also wouldn't slaughter all the staff either.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

Ooh just remembered I am having Greggs for lunch today!

Do people not need to lighten up a bit? everyone seems outraged at everything these days, I think social media is to blame, just takes on moaner to start a campaign. I think some bored people look around for something to be offended by.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

I think people forget Jesus is a big figure in Islam the only bit they don't believe is that he is actually the son of God but he is an important profit to them. But I meant really if it was used to represent Allah the poo would have hit the fan if that had happened.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

It might not add much to this debate but I can report that the Greggs festive bakes are very tasty this year

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

No people don't forget they just couldn't give a monkeys if Jesus was important in Islam of not even if they knew that Islam has graciously offered to recognise him .
And so thy should seeing as Jesus came first .
Islam being the third runner up in the Abrahamic religion stakes and much of its doctrines purloined from the OT.
(As for making a profit that is definitely out usury being haram in Islam .)

Actually we couldn't care less if the sausage roll was mean to represent Allah either but as there is no evidence he was born in a manger we are safe there phew .

Now a sausage roll herding a camel might be a different kettle of fish but of course that would not be representative of Allah ( as we don't know what exactly Allah looks like ) but of his head honcho PB and all that

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

I re-read what you'd posted this morning ... with refreshed brain .. and understand what you meant.
What is weird though.. Jesus was a Jew and pork isn't kosher.
Any Jews upset anywhere ?

I've always thought it odd too that Islam does actually believe Jesus existed .... not many religions admit to the existence of another beliefs leading man ( they don't like the competition).
But .. they then relegate him to a prophet in a supporting inferior role. A bit of plagiarism methinks.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

I think it came from most religions being born in the same area and taking the same characters was inevitable really.

The Muslims Christians etc that I know all manage to worship together we look for similarities we agree on. Sadly too many look for opposites and that causes more problems.

I always thought as a society we'd eventually grow together might still happen once hate is recognised as the thing that keeps us apart.


It's not that odd that Jesus is recognised I thought as I believe could be wrong of course that Jewish faith recognises him too but again not as son of God.

Re: jesus as a sausage roll

Frankly, it doesn"t impress me much TBH.
