Stone Soup * 3
    #18854069 - 09/17/13 03:32 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Stone Soup

Once upon a time, somewhere in post-war Eastern Europe, there was a great famine in which people jealously hoarded whatever food they could find, hiding it even from their friends and neighbors. One day a wandering soldier came into a village and began asking questions as if he planned to stay for the night.

"There's not a bite to eat in the whole province," he was told. "Better keep moving on."

"Oh, I have everything I need," he said. "In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you." He pulled an iron cauldron from his wagon, filled it with water, and built a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a velvet bag and dropped it into the water.

By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come to the square or watched from their windows. As the soldier sniffed the "broth" and licked his lips in anticipation, hunger began to overcome their skepticism.

"Ahh," the soldier said to himself rather loudly, "I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage -- that's hard to beat."

Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a cabbage he'd retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. "Capital!" cried the soldier. "You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was fit for a king."

The village butcher managed to find some salt beef . . . and so it went, through potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for all. The villagers offered the soldier a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell and traveled on the next day.


Religion and God are an awful lot like stone soup.

Well it was a nice story until the ending. 

Kind of like most Bob Dylan concerts.

So OC is a "little" dedicated to fighting religion and Catholicism.  Why shouldn't he be?  He grew up near Boston.

That's essentially what I do with women, bring someone elses puppy kitten or child along for a walk as bait. Return the rented animal when you no longer need them.

As per usual, you miss the point.

If X + Y = Z and X + Y + God = Z then God is superfluous and the concept may be discarded.

I don't see how a Christian hating on Islam because their own irrational/delusional beliefs tell them to is comparable to someone with a little bit of sense pointing out the idiocy of both parties. :shrug:

There's a brewing technique that uses hot stones from the fire to make the boil.  And not just any stones.  And then there was Dwight Stones.  Before that though Jimi.

How did the stone chef cheat people?? I mean, I assume he shared with all the people who also shared.

Analogous in that stone soup with cabbage and beef is indistinguishable from cabbage and beef soup.

So if I steal $100 from 10 people and divide that money evenly between them I'm not stealing from anyone?

Well, in that case you're not stealing in any moral sense, but I don't think that's a great analogy. It would be more like stealing everyone's last bit of cash, and dividing it among them but forcing them to spend it immediately, and taking a share for yourself.

What if they all have different amounts of money/food? Not that morality actually exists but I the guys ripping off people who were likely more careful for saving food than others.
I hate that guy :crankey:
