Inconsiderate Christians

[Lydie]

There is a Pentecostal church in my neighbourhood. They have 'all-night prayer sessions'. It is almost 10pm and I can still hear the music. It is as bad as a frat party and if you complain it's 'because you don't have the anointing'.  This reminds me of when my Christian roommates would have loud prayer sessions in tongues, in the room next to mine which had paper-thin walls. This in the knowledge that I had just done a night shift.

 

such a lack of self-awareness and compassion.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yep, par for the course. "Can't you see we're attacking demons?! God can't do this shit without us."

 

Glory! Shabach malakatasha. Robotando brrrata. Klaatu barada nikto.

This ^. I had to google it to get it.

 

"Klaatu barada nikto" is a phrase that originated in the 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still. The humanoid alien protagonist of the film, Klaatu (Michael Rennie), instructs Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) that if any harm befalls him, she must say the phrase to the robot Gort (Lockard Martin). In response Gort relents from destroying the Earth and resurrects Klaatu from death.^[1]
