Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nowt planned yet but I will say I'm pissed off that one of my favourite traditions - getting pissed and watching us play on Boxing Day - has been scuppered by Sky.

The Fish 10849 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've a few Christmas traditions; I only wrap presents drunk, early on Christmas morning. Quietly telling my Dad that next year, if they want to get me anything (which they needn't), they should just get me one gift off my Amazon list or something. works out cheaper and makes more sense than the pile of stuff I don't want/need that will just take up space until I throw it out during a house move. My sister getting in a huff because no one wants to play a boardgame and me finding the whole awkwardness hilarious. Dad shooting me a entreating look after a racist elderly relative says something wildly offensive. Mam making more puddings than any one family could possibly get through. And offering cakes/biscuits/treats every half hour, like the feeder she is. The guilt trip just as I'm leaving because I don't visit enough.

Alex 35059 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Obviously he's a stupid fucking cunt who no one in their right mind would listen to but what's he hoping for? Enough people boycott Gregg's so that it leads to job cuts. There's the Xmas spirit / message of Jesus for you right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he's hoping to either see Islam get the same treatment, which would quite possibly lead to fatalities, or for Christianity to be protected, which not a kick in the arse off censorship. Either way, I now want a steak bake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35059 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Surely it's considerably less insulting than expecting someone to believe a wafer literally becomes his body after you eat it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the transformation in the mass that makes it his body. I still think this idea is the most bat shit crazy religious tenet of them all which is some feat.

The weird thing is, Catholics don't even believe it turns to flesh after you eat it, it does so during transubstantiation, on the altar. I remember having an argument with my religious aunty about it, obviously pointing out it looked and tasted a lot more like wafer to me than an uncooked chunk of human flesh. She was having none of it. I mean, what type of mentality is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can start to excuse it by saying the body and blood thing is a metaphor but then you realise it 100% isn't and is in fact the central belief in the entire religion. Then you realise it's links to primative human sacrifice which weirds it up another notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
