Got Caught On Camera

[mymistake]

Oh I doubt there will be any consequences but is was terribly funny.

 

 

 

So today I went to this party that a deeply devout Catholic family was throwing for their daughter.  It was

 

like a huge deal with a professional photographer and two different priests to say separate blessings.  As 

 

usual when the priest asked us to close our eyes and bow our heads I choose to decline.  I use the prayer

 

time to look for other atheists and agnostics, as I usually do.  I'm looking around the whole time.  Then I 

 

spot the camera man doing his job.  He is snapping pics of all the people praying.  Good guy camera man

 

isn't trapped in some barbaric religion.  But suddenly he points his camera in the general direction of my 

 

side of the room.  I think "oh crap!".  Here I am standing next to all these devout Catholics who are praying

 

is such reverence and I'm staring right at the camera!  It's so preposterous that I crack up laughing.  And 

 

that is when he snaps the pic of me.  I'm laughing my head off looking right at him while surrounded by all

 

these devout believers deep in prayer.  I think the hosts are going to know I'm an atheist.

 

 

 

 

Can't live it down now.

Sometimes I think prayer was really created in order to identify those who have "good standing" with the group.

You seriously need to get a copy of that pic and frame it!

 

I would love to have something like that with 'ME' in it. That's just too funny.

Bless the Lard, Brother! Glory!

The closest I ever come to praying these days is when I say,

 

"JOHN,

Grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And the wisdom to know the difference."

 

And I only ever do that on the rare occasion that I feel like empowering myself.
