Give me back that fillet-o-fish! (Lent thread)
Posts
I am being serious.
Recent archeological finds near the historical Golgotha have determined that Jesus was not actually crucified as the Bible depicts
rather he was devoured alive by the Apostles in the moments immediately following the last supper because, ironically, he was just tasty as hell.
honestly the main thing that really bugs me is that people believe in things like jesus coming back from the dead or praying works and things like that that are to my eyes clearly impossible
i mean why would anyone believe in something they don't have a reason to believe in?
if i didn't pick fights i wouldn't get to enjoy sarukun being a dumpy dipshit
jk lol
Bahahaha, nice.
you fucking monster
there are soup kitchens here!!!

I'm pretty sure that literal transubstantiation is actual Catholic doctrine, actually. It was a big sticking point during the protestant reformation.

Maybe it's just me, but "you are not temporary, you have an immortal soul, you have a creator that loves you, and if you are a good person you will live forever with him in perfect happiness" seems pretty goddamn persuasive.
Maybe SF hates the fillet-o-fish
Is it white guilt?
White guilt has destroyed the fillet-o-fish
i think what is true is more important than what is comforting
I do not
meanie face
Yeah, but see Christians are allowed to pick and choose which parts of their doctrine are literal and which are interpretive.
I really don't know but yes the fillet-o-fish sandwich is very real. It's been around for decades.
Because it makes them feel good? Because it's a part of their culture? Because it helps them look for meaning in their own lives?

I would agree, man. Try to put yourself in someone else's shoes; if you were brought up from the day you were born to believe this was true, you would almost certainly believe it. And once you have fully initiated yourself into that belief, along with the entire worldwide group of people that will continuously validate you, it can be pretty hard to flip a switch and go "Oh wait, that's all a lie, life is actually random, and I am going to die one day, forever."
Now you're just being small minded.
People that subscribe to a set of religious beliefs have any number of reasons to believe. Solid, actual, secular, social, cultural reasons that you probably aren't in much of a position to understand, let alone judge.
Sure you are allowed to do so, but if you don't believe in transubstantiation, you aren't Catholic.
1) Why?
2) Empirical evidence isn't the only kind of inquiry humans make into their lives and surroundings, and holding only to empirical evidence when making decisions or thinking about the universe strikes many people as unfulfilling.
Saying that it shouldn't strike them as unfulfilling is kinda missing the point.

culture i can understand, people ain't always got access to knowledge beyond what they're raised with
but when you have no excuse not to know that people do not magically come back from the dead, that the idea of a person transmuting food with a touch is so unlikely as to be beyond the realm of consideration, i mean....
"What is true" is a Goddamned loaded phrase to begin with.
If you're talking about "what is factual" that's one thing. "What is true" is a bullshit sentence that Man has wrestled with since the dawn of civilization, and some snot-nosed teenager with a total lack of respect for differeing points of view isn't about to break any new ground there.
I was raised Catholic and, over time, came to become more agnostic than anything else. I don't believe that whether God does or does not exist is really all that important of a question, since I've always felt that you should treat other people well regardless of if there's some big cosmic balance sheet. If it helps people to believe in an afterlife and such, however, all the power to them.
Fuck you. You don't have even a rudimentary understanding of the concept of "culture".
The truth is the truth. Isn't that a good enough reason?
I was honestly just looking to get a more in depth look at what fallout believes. I think it's interesting.

but not because of lent
i just like the fish fillet it's pretty good
there i just saved you some time
I think everybody can get behind the gods of anger and metal.
It's a subject that has had books devoted to it, and it's fairly complex in its philosophy. However, the basic idea is that the "essence" of the bread and wine is transformed, while the physical properties of the objects remain the same.
And I have no idea what to give up. Fish?
That is a lot of words when you could just say "symbolism".

dude, i know religious people real life, i promise
yeah, like i said, it's difficult to blame someone for believing something that they were raised to believe
never said life was random, though
and death is hard to deal with. all the pets i've had that died, family members, my friends, all of them are dead and i will never see them again. i'm going to die, my parents are going to die, and so is every single other organism on the planet. eventually everything will die and the entire history of human accomplishment will be gone. it's really hard to deal with and i don't really know how, but I think that just telling yourself everything will be okay because you're going to see everyone you love again is taking the easy way out.
Which I guess is the same as saying that it doesn't change at all?
whoa now, let's be clear here
