There is very little real Eastern Philosophy in fortune cookies.
Fortune cookies:
Origin
San Francisco and Los Angeles both lay claim to the origin of the fortune cookie. Makoto Hagiwara of Golden Gate Park's Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco is said to have invented the cookie in 1909,[1] while David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles, is said to have invented them in 1918.[2]
San Francisco's Court of Historical Review ruled in 1983 in favor of San Francisco. Although the court was presided over by a Federal judge, the court itself has been criticized as being less than serious and biased in favor of San Francisco. Its conclusions, therefore, might not be the final word on the subject.[2]
Etymology
The cookies are generally called by the English term fortune cookies, even by Chinese Americans, as there is no standard Chinese term for them.

So there you have it, Jesus couldn't have eaten them at all.

Did you read where they first invented them in my last post?
Your question was, in the very first sentence," How come Jesus is never quoted in fortune cookies? " , So I answered you by showing you that fortune cookies weren't invented until the 20th century.
My point is that when Jesus was around there wasn't anyone taking notes of whatever he said. They only wrote about him over 100 years after he died. So how can anyone have quotes friom Jesus?
And how did anyone get that quote if there was nothing written during his lifetime?
They remembered what Jesus said for over 100 years, exactly as it was stated. That is very preposterous and a lie.
i suggest moving this thread to the religion or cesspool forum. in my opinion the cesspool is an upgrade compared to the religion forum.

Why not make it a racial thread .....we'll see how many people think Asians are smarter than whites and blacks ...or something like that? Wouldn't that be fun?
