<em>What about booger Jesus?
posted by Meatbomb </em>
While we're on the theological booger tip, I'm reminded of the the time in third grade that I asked a nun in Catechism class (back when you had to fast overnight before communion) if eating a booger counted as breaking your fast. She said eating was putting anything in your mouth and swallowing. But what if, I asked, you were to snort the booger into your mouth, then spit it up in the air without touching it, and then caught it in your mouth, and swallowed it? Does that count? She sent me to the principal's office.comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79820-2481301Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:08:13 -0800StickyCarpetBy: Salvor Hardin

Once a bunch of my friends where sitting on my parents back porch and I was kind of looking at one of their shirts and I giggled (oh yeah we were all on acid, which is kind of important the story). My friend was like what are you giggling at? And I was like "nothing, just the picture of jim morrison on your shirt is tripping me out". So he looks down and was like, "What the fuuck maan this is just a plain whi... WHAT THE FUCK MAN THE SPIRIT OF JIMMY IS ON ME!" and he takes off running into the yard yelling that over and over trying to wipe jim morrison's ghost off him and we laughed and laughed.
I guess what I'm saying is that religion is a hell of a drug.comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79820-2481339Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:42:49 -0800empathBy: Smedleyman

They did say Christ would return. Apparently in thousands of cameos embedded in mundane objects. Who saw that one coming? Not me. Thief in the night thing going on there I guess. But I've got a shotgun and I think a thief wouldn't get very far in my house. I'm not saying I'd shoot Jesus, but in the night, you don't know who it is. Maybe it's a dog. But dogs don't appear in images in mundane objects. Or at least it's not foretold in the bible that dogs will return to the house like thieves in the night. And you can't shoot 'em. Dogs I mean. Not your own dog anyway. Not unless they're sick and dying.
And even then Jesus, if he's back, he could heal them.
So, uh...what the hell am I talking about?comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79820-2481362Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:24:50 -0800SmedleymanBy: gompa

In eighth grade, some of the ninth graders (my school is 7-12 jr high/high school) spread a rumor that the pope decreed that the image of the virgin mary would appear on every home's microwave plate for two weeks.
During art class, two kids ran into the classroom to check the plate, and were crying because they thought they saw it. My art teacher waited for them to leave and then picked it up, and said, "I guess if you wipe the grease this way...."
Later we checked all the teacher's microwaves, saw nothing. As a dirty heathen I wasn't even sure if I knew what the Virgin Mary looked like. Later the truth came out, obviously.comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79820-2481416Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:54:58 -0800mmmleafBy: terranova

Jesus did say he was the living bread. He also said that if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever, which seems to indicate that it's a dire mistake to sell your Jesus Toast to Golden Palace Casino. Chow down on Christ, ya idiot, don't sell him!
<blockquote>[Jesus said], I am the Toast, ye are the toasters: He that toasteth me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much peanut butter and jelly: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Toast, he is cast forth as a croutons, and is dried up; and men gather them, and stir them into stuffing, and they are placed inside the chicken.</blockquote>Manna from heaven, I tell ya.comment:www.metafilter.com,2009:site.79820-2482486Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:39:56 -0800five fresh fishBy: tehloki

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself.

As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
