Catholicism itself has internal rules against doing stuff like that - but I think you'd need to be make a rather more nuanced theological point than I am about the value of challenging the sinful nature of this act within the Catholic framework.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise all we're saying is that Catholicism has a load of silly rules that are nonsensical (since Catholicism is a belief system based on falsehood) and I'm going to break those rules to piss off the Catholics and highlight the nonsensical beliefs they're based on. While I have some sympathy with highlighting the falsity of theism, I don't think it quite makes us Gandhi!pjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832177812057826894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285737581949527996.post-11740437797666134432008-07-27T23:19:00.000+01:002008-07-27T23:19:00.000+01:00If you call it "deliberately winding up theists" t...If you call it "deliberately winding up theists" then it sounds bad. If you call it "deliberately breaking pointless and unjust rules" then it's pretty standard protest, I'd have thought. Nobody criticises Gandhi for "deliberately winding up the authorities".<BR/><BR/>I'd love to get a whole pack (loaf?) of Eucharists and use them as chips in my poker game.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if they're nice with dips? That would be really cocky, munching on my stack when I'd built a lead up.<BR/><BR/>Gosh, "munching on my stack" sounds dirty.<BR/><BR/>I like that "Baby Jesus" appears to exist as a largely independent entity from regular "Jesus". Kind of like Super Mario in that respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285737581949527996.post-6330930663872013282008-07-27T18:23:00.000+01:002008-07-27T18:23:00.000+01:00"*I appear to have used the pun in the title "I at..."*I appear to have used the pun in the title "I ate the baby Jesus" before, repeating myself already, oh dear."<BR/>Well, if that confluence of circumstances keeps turning up in your life, what else can you do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
