Title: Hello!
Post by: phoenixrrt62 on December 09, 2010, 12:18:15 PM
-Was looking (once again) at the catholic forums and realized that all the looking on a religious forum for-what?-answers as to WHY I made such a mistake as to realize that there IS NO DEITY and I have been living a fairy tale a good part of my 48 years on this earth....and thought it was time look at another POV and stop bashing myself across the head and giving myself a guilt trip every damn day;(
However, the catholic forum is entertaining...I don't think I will get over my obsession with reading all the supposed sins you can possibly have...

ANNYhow...hi from phoenixrrt62 (Emily) in South Philly!! ;D

Hello phoenix.
I've been watching Father Ted, an old show but what insights he provides into the ecclesiastic life.

QuoteFather Ted: It's fabulous being a priest - think of all that comfort you bring to the sick and dying. They love it, they can't get enough of it!
QuoteFather Ted: What was that sermon about?
Father Dougal: Sorry Ted, I was concentrating too hard on looking holy.
QuoteFather Ted: That's the great thing about Catholicism - it's very vague and no-one knows what its really all about.
QuoteFather Ted: It's not as if everyone's going to go off and join some mad religious cult just because we go off for a picnic for a couple of hours.
Father Dougal: God, Ted, I heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord's gonna come back and judge us all!
Father Ted: No... No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.
QuoteFather Ted: [about Reverend Green from Cluedo] Those Protestants, up to no good as usual.

Father Ted is a show that screens in Australia, it is British - so I'm guessing it's a BBC show - you guys prob wouldn't get it in the states. Plenty on youtube here is one link for ya - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foFXj7pEj4g (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foFXj7pEj4g)
