All of them. Except the ones about killing and raping and stealing - - the common sense stuff that nearly all humans know, without any religion.

vorlon13 Regarding the Jesus biscuit, if I may digress; I've heard from a celiac suffering friend of mine that gluten free communion wafers are prohibited, although apparently a 'low' gluten version is available.
Since the darn things transubstantiate anyhow, and gluten is NOT a constituent of human flesh or blood, why dafuq we need a gluten biscuit in the first place?
---------------------------------------------------------
Actually, there is now a gluten-free wafer. A friend of mine has to specifically request it. But the transubstantiation thing is a fabulous point. I think I'll ask her about that.

Evangelism bugs me the most. I don't mind people coming to invite me to their church, that's okay. Anything beyond that can be offensive.
Even as a Christian, I thought this was intrusive. I thought people were to be drawn, not assaulted (or insulted).
(I guess that's not really a rule.)

Every rule that claims justification based on any religion bothers me, even if an otherwise identical rule based on non-religious considerations would have been sound.
Doing anything for any religious reasons is u sound, IMHO.

Prohibition of birth control because of the very real harm it causes: Huge, impoverished families and overpopulation.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Everyone must have at least thirty minutes of "quiet time with the lord" every morning. Oh, and the whole "wives, submit to your husband" deal.

The rule that says not to question the rules.
How convenient.
