I totally get that JZ and it is awesome that you feel so connected to the people in your church.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Actually, the one reason I really hope they're right about the whole Jesus son of God thing is to see the epic smackdown he lays on their asses in the afterlife. Except shit - he's all about that forgiveness crap.

I think the Bible is pretty clear about what happens to people who do not minister to orphans and the poor:

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

For I was hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Antipopes? Do they cause the destruction of Christianity if they come into contact with Popes?

Yes, and then they go to Avignon! (Okay, only one of them did, but still. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, JZ, I love hearing you talk about your church.

A friend of mine just told me she's becoming Catholic, which I think is really odd from her, but... whatever, I guess I'm all for people being religious, I just think it's a weird choice for her. Maybe she's thinking she's going to marry her current boyfriend, if he's Catholic, but I don't know.

You know if the Archdiocese decides to pull out of providing social services, maybe someone else can be found to provide the same services for the same amount of public funds the Archdiocese accepted?

I am sure someone can be found for that! (And maybe they want to hire me...)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I love them, too, just from the description!

That article about Catholic Charities ending adoptions is from 2006. Not sure what their stance on singles adopting, but some of religious agencies won't work with singles and some won;t even work with couples unless they can show that they are unable to conceive. special place in hell.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I haven't contributed to anything but emergency funds to fix the roof

Yes you have. You're one of my touchpoints when I'm tempted to regard the entire Catholic Church as a bunch of hypocritical misogynist fucktards. You're the baby that stops me throwing out the bathwater.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Randomly, I need to share traditional Icelandic cuisine:

Most national Icelandic foods are based around fish, lamb and dairy products. Þorramatur is a national food consisting of many dishes and is usually consumed around the month of Þorri. Traditional dishes include skyr, cured ram scrota, cured shark, singed sheep heads and black pudding.

Cured ram scrota and singed sheep head!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The Vatican-II-era Pope John XXIII took that name (and number) to supercede the Antipope John XXIII, which I always thought was a cool way to smack down someone in an historical sense--just disappear him entirely.
