Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.... |
I was recently forced to endure a catholic mass and a rosary as part
of the funeral of a relative. I found many elements of the mass to
be laughably absurd. One of the parts I found most hilarious was the
point where the priest has to "sing" the mysterium fidei. I put the
word *sing* in quotes for a good reason, because most priests *****
it up pretty horribly. Anyway, for non-catholics, the sacred little
raindance goes something like this.
"Let us proclaim the mystery of faith...
Christ has Died.
Christ is Risen.
Where the ***** is he?"
OK, they don't sing that last line. But they oughta, because it's
one of the big mysteries surrounding their so-called "faith".
Perhaps the biggest all-time "mystery of faith" is why are people
stupid and gullible enough to believe religious *****.
I wonder if others have suggestions for additional "mysteries of
faith"

Not even when you put your head down on the desk and wake up with drool on
your sleeve and wonder why it's so quiet in the class and then you glance to
the left and see the black cloth that can only mean the Ursiline nun who was
teaching the class has spotted you and is waiting for you to wake up and...
Oh, wait, that was me.
Never mind.
