Castiel233 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 As some of you know, I am currently between jobs. Anyway, my friend text me ( I live very close to his place of work)to say he had a puncture on his bike, would I get it and fix it for him, what with me at home And now the point of my post..........walking back down to the house with his bike a guy passed me, he had something smeared across his forehead.............as he got closer I saw what it was......... a cross. Naturally its no longer enough to use telepathy to contact the creator of the universe, now it seems that you have to dab a Jesus window in front of your skull using make-up to ensure that your thoughts have to pass through your god portal symbol on their way up to heaven. sheessh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah. It always takes me back when I see ash on peoples' foreheads. I grew up in a church where we didn't do that, so it still seems strange to me. However, people think it was strange when we laid down palm leaves and cloth on the sanctuary floor on Palm Sunday. To me, that's a completely normal celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedouin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah. I was at the hospital today. While waiting for an elevator, several people walked by with ashes. There was a gentleman waiting with me, and he remarked that the ritual was "man made." I agreed. Then he says, "it's not in the bible. --facepalm-- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Furball Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 nothin' for nothin' but i have seen christians who think demons possess people by entering in through the back of their neck and so they get a cross tattooed on the back of their neck for protection the insanity never stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fweethawt Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Be thankful its not ASS Wednesday instead of ash Wednesday. Ass Wednesday is when Mormons wear only their ritual underwear with a skid mark shaped like a cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violetbutterfly Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Glad I saw this thread, I was going to start a post about Ash Wednesday. It WAS yesterday and it got me thinking about how when I was younger and "in the cult" I used to be AMAZED by people when I saw they had ashes. If I saw a guy my age and he he had ashes....swoooon, he was instantly attractive. Because apparently CHURCH means you are a good person. No it means you can be anything from a good person to a complete asshole, you just happen to go to church. It angers me now to think about how much worth I placed on what religion a person claimed. I was also kind of scared of Jewish people. I thought that they were headed straight to hell for rejecting Jesus, so I really didn't want to be associated with them. I just kind of stayed away. HOW FUCKING SICK IS THAT!? I am so angry over the brainwashing. So angry. I didn't realize it was Ash Wednesday until late in the evening or I would have made it a point to go somewhere pubic and order a huge, juicy steak.
