Corpus Christi

This should be on Wikipedia as description of Christianity

Second is “don’t question them”

[leftzero@lemmynsfw.com]

It’s the opposite of cool. Cringey as fuck, is what it is.

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

But only mostly!

Catholicism truly believes you are eating Jesus’s body and drinking his blood at mass.

But it’s not cannibalism because the bread and wine still keep all their properties after turning into Jesus

You seem very upset about this.

An adult choosing to slightly censor a word has you in meltdown mode. Gosh.

[thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de]

How about some mayo?

[leftzero@lemmynsfw.com]

Abject wilful idiocy irks me. ‍️

Also, I was in the toilet and had time to type.

[hark@lemmy.world]

That was one of the miracles he performed.

[stupidcasey@lemmy.world]

You can’t say fucks sake it’s bullshit.

[lemminary@lemmy.world]

A lot of behaviors are learned and people have learned that using profanity in most places gets you in trouble. I don’t think it’s fair to berate anyone for what is essentially a social expectation in many other circles.

Good thing Lemmy isn’t like that. But, please, lighten the fuck up.

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

are you telling me he was so good at fucking that they started a religion after him

[leftzero@lemmynsfw.com]

using profanity in most places gets you in trouble

Most places in the theocratic kleptocracy of Magastan, I assume; a few places (or circumstances) in the civilised world, which in most cases can be avoided due to them being excessively silly.

In any case, though, that’s not the fucking point.

If you don’t want to use a word, don’t fucking use it. Use a fucking synonym, or euphemism, or metaphor, or insinuation, or whatever.

Using most of the word but censoring one of the letters, however, is so utterly stupid and hypocritical that it’s insulting both to the readers and the writer. You’re still using the word, just with an intentional typo. You’re not lying to anyone except yourself.

lighten the fuck up

No, I don’t think I will.

Also, I was in the toilet and had time to type.

I mean, where else would you be using Lemmy?

[lime@feddit.nu]

personally i am a fan of “keep your religion to yourself”, “don’t use the veil of the church as a means to make money”, “help those that others cast out, like sex workers”, “don’t engage in stereotype”, and “rich people go to hell”.

[viking_hippie@lemmy.world]

Yeah. Funny how the most influential Christians all tend to forget those

[lwl@lemmy.world]

It’s just the opposite social expectation here. And honestly it bothers me not because some people do it but because it feels like american puritanism taking over online spaces because it’s even in screenshots. Like holy shit you’re quoting someone just leave the swearing in.

[ookami38@sh.itjust.works]

Alternatively, pi_sing off people who call things cringe is based as f_ck so maybe I’ll start self censoring.

[leftzero@lemmynsfw.com]

it’s not cannibalism because the bread and wine still keep all their properties after turning into Jesus

You could make a perfectly cromulent meringue out of human blood, and it’d have all the properties of a meringue made out of eggs (no, seriously, blood is effectively a one to one culinary equivalent of eggs, except for the taste and allergens)… but it’d still be made out of human blood. ‍️

[datendefekt@feddit.org]

It’s this kind of mental gymnastics that killed church for me. Jesus had a pretty decent moral framework set up, but people mangled into a bunch of hocus pocus.

[datendefekt@feddit.org]

A part of my family is extremely religious, and borderline fundamentalist. After a while I’ve been able accept the fact that some people want to know how the world works, and some want to believe.

I know that my death won’t be much different than if our dog dies. My consciousness will cease to exist, and I’ll either get burnt or decompose. Many people are filled with existential dread and look to religion to comfort them. And that’s cool for them.

And then their things beyond your understanding, that you fill with little stories. Sickness isn’t something that can be prevented by a shot, it’s a punishment. Not getting kids? A punishment. Pork? Haram because Allah said so, not because refrigeration didn’t exist. Whatever makes you happy!

The problem I got is that these people are easily lied to and manipulated by authority. The religious right are so easily played by Trump it’s embarrassing as a human being.
