I'm afraid they're no longer sold.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

My plastic jesus nightlight has the power to perform miracles. It could probably even wash away even DanS's sins.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Why did God make my plastic jeus nightlight work again if he didn't want me to spread the good news?Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Well, they may soon be reintroduced. We all know that very soon the lawsuits will start against the pederast priests and lawyers are mighty expensive!Originally posted by DanS

Er because you follow Jesus rather than the guy in the silly hat?Originally posted by Brent
It's difficult to be one church without a central earthly authority. What's the point of being a member of a church if you don't follow the leadership?
Dans and I are good catholic boys - that's why we fight so much
I just checked some Baptist church web sites - sure enough those idiots want the feeding tube back in.
Christianity for stupid people is what it is.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

The Popes are the heirs of Saint Peter and the Bishops of the apostles but we all know what a bunch of hopeless screw ups Peter and the apostle were. That tradition certainly continues to this day.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

For many, it has become more of a part of their culture than a practiced religion.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse

No I'm not, I'm a socialist. Neo-Liberals are the Reaganomics people. The "liberal" in Neo-Liberal refers to classical Liberalism of the Enlightenment., which is similar to modern Libertarianism; NOT to modern Liberalism. SO DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH RIGHT WING SCUM!!!Originally posted by Brent

It's still going on. Some of the priests around here seem to be actually copying the fundy Tele-evangelists. It was a really weird experience.Originally posted by DanS
Likely what you were experiencing was a residual of the period of experimentation in the Church after Vatican II. After 1,500 years, masses were once again said in the local languages, among other novelties. This experimentation (much of it in the US) wasn't bad in and of itself, but some of that experimentation has since been discarded."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment
