I sort of realized it was Lent when I saw my Dad yesterday and his ashed forehead. I haven’t set foot in a church in quite a while and when I do it will only be out of respect for a friends wedding or a familial type event. I will have nothing to do with supporting a faith rife with pedophiles and their enablers, that doesn’t see women as equal and doesn’t support gay marriage but is fine with giving away anullments for a small fee.
But I digress…
So we went to lunch and he said that we should just kill them all. Then he said we should take the children away from “those people” (meaning the people in Afghanistan) “That would solve the problem, They are nothing but a bunch of maniacs”
So, as a person that goes to church every Sunday even when he leaves the country I find it nothing short of amusing that the guy sitting across from me pretty much gave the opposite of what that guy about to hang from the cross in a few weeks taught.
Oh? why is this funny? Because he ain’t the only “sheep” to want to “kill em all” then go to Church and pray to St. Anthony when he can’t find his keys…
Ask him if wants god to sort them out.
It’s Saint Jude that helps you find stuff.
His nuanced understanding of the region’s politics is quite impressive.
Saint Jude is lost causes and St. Anthony helps you find stuff, I think.
Maybe if Afghanistan buried St. Joseph in their front yard the real estate would finally sell.
I hear ya dude, Roman Catholic did the altar boy thing bled it thru and thru till the Teenager touchers came out. Never have really looked at the whole seen quite the same since.
Cassandra, my bad. St. Anthony is for lost stuff, St. Jude lost causes. You are right.
come on bro, I’m Italian, you don’t think I was told to
Somethin lost, somethin found pray to St. Anthony for it to be found
True dat. Mrs. Kitty is Italian. She set me straight.
Sorry about drifting into Steelespeak.

DV – Do you really what me to get into this? 🙂
You friendly neighborhood atheist
P.S. Oddly, I wonder why this distain for “those people”. They have dirt on their heads… your pop has dirt on his head… No sense of camaraderie at all?
Leave Pops alone…..just cause you guys caught on early, he needs remediation every Sunday. Geez, give a guy points for trying for an hour.
