I yelled at a Protestant today

[Rabrrrrrr]

When I stopped for a traffic signal some guy was picketing with an anti-Pope sign outside a church which happened to have Jan Hus signs in its windows. I yelled at him, "Transubstantiation, not consubstantiation!"

I don't typically do that sort of thing, but I'm sick and tired of having to defend the real presence. :grr:

As I sped away, I leaned out the window and screamed "The apostolicity of the Church rests on an unbroken episcopacy!!" and threw a Jean Luc Picard-as-Jesus "I see SEVEN sacraments!" button at him.

[elshiva]

1. Go, Pope, go.

:applause:

[DS1]

2. This is how copycats are done. Take notes.

[arcadian]

3. So you can only do copycats if you have a degree in religious studies?

Great, fucking great.

[DS1]

4. No

You just have to change more than one element, I know that can be difficult sometimes



and HOORAY COPYCAT WARS! :bounce: :woohoo:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Nah, they just have to be creative and original in their own way.

If one is going to post a copycat expecting people to click on it and read it, one should give the people something valuable for their time.

[Critters2]

21. Hell, I have a degree in religious studies (in "Divinity" actually!), and I couldn't have done this.

You have to be a huge smart ass, too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Thanks!

:blush:

9. True dat.

(wishing for "bow to the master" emoticon)

[kentauros]

25. something like this?

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. That's the stuff

:)

[Bunny]

32. YES!! Excellent copycat!

Watch and learn, people. You've just seen greatness. :applause:

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Thanks!

:blush:

[YankeyMCC]

7. LoL

I actually thought I had clicked on the real thread, damn I was confused for a few moments there.

Well done Sir! We need a tip-o-the-hat smilie :)

[OrwellwasRight]

8. OK, but now I feel stupid.

Who's Jan Hus? :dunce:

And no, I don't want to Google him. I want to have a conversation. :bounce:

Maybe. :+

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. If you don't want to google him, then google everything else.

Then, whatever bit of information is left in the universe that you didn't end up reading is Jan Hus.

:silly:

[DS1]

11. I'm so using that at work some time

;rofl:


and it was the SEVEN sacraments that was my favorite touch, and I haven't even seen that Star Trek episode :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. The SEVEN was an inspired moment. I'm most happy with that one, too.

That's the line that really makes me laugh!

I really want to make some buttons like that, except that being a Protestant, mine would be "I see TWO sacraments!"

[OrwellwasRight]

13. OMG. ROTF, LMAO. But really who is he? LOL. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Hus was a Czech Protestant reformer in the early 1500s, later burned at the stake.

He had some effect on Luther's thinking, and either founded the Moravian Church or had some big effect on their theological thinking. I can't remember, and I don't feel like goggling it, either.

The city of Prague has a big statue of him in the city central square area, and Jan Hus day is a national holiday in Czechoslovakia. (or used to be - does Czechoslovakia even exist any more?)


(burned at the stake by the Catholic Church, of course)

[OrwellwasRight]

19. Ohhhhhhh, that Jan Hus!

He's still bing in the Czech Republic I hear.

[Critters2]

22. Founder of the Moravian Church. A pre-Reformation

"reformer". Burned at the stake in Czechoslovakia (one or the other).

[OrwellwasRight]

23. People used to burn at the stake a lot in those days.

It has got to be one horrible way to die. Probably the worst. And yet humans are still killing each other over religion. Sigh.

[Critters2]

24. Religion is just one reason people kill one another.

Nationalism is another, economic pressures are another. We're a clever bunch. We can always find a good reason to kill each other.

But yeah, being burned at the stake is a particularly nasty way to go.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Those substations are a bitch, aren't they?

:rofl:
Nice copycat! :toast: Sorry...Couldn't find a eucharistic wine smilie.

[AlCzervik]

15. win.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Thanks!

Every now and again I really pull one off.

[leeroysphitz]

18. I always KNEW you were a heretic but A Husian? Tsk tsk tsk....

[rug]

20. Jan Hus? Windows?

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Yes - Jan Hus. And windows.

[rug]

28. I hope he's not defenestrated again.

[JVS]

29. Transubstantiation assumes the truth Aristotelian physics, which one can't impose upon the Church.

Why the Lateran council of 1215 thought they could pull that one off is beyond me.

[Parche]

30. Did You "Make It So"?

:woohoo: :hi:

[Shakespeare]

31. I always knew you were a goddamned papist!

:7

[old mark]

33. He probably had no idea what the fuck you were talking about -

I find most Prods are quite ignorant of any real thought about their own religion, much less Catholicism (or anything else).

They are right because they are right, you are wrong for the same reason.

I attended - reluctantly - Catholic school K through 12, plus a little time in college. I don't believe in any of it, but I'd still follow the home team if it came to a fight.

Actually, my wife saye I have become a Jew over the last few years of being married to one, and I kind of like that.

Added: Yelling at some religious folk is not a always good - it makes them feel delightfully persecuted, and gets them sexually aroused.Ugly.
