Adolf Hitler didn't use chemical weapons?!

This could be the most concentrated dose of clever comments I’ve seen. I’m laughing at this and my family’s giving me sidelong glances.

Thank God they haven’t asked me what’s so funny, or I’ll collapse in mirth and wheeze “It’s this thread about Hitler and chemical weapons…”

Bolding mine.

I first read the bolded word as consecrated.

Not because I doubt you, really-but I sincerely want to know more about this group.

I really suggest you wouldn’t look too deep into their tracts, your head may get number too.

Most of us Dopers live in majority Christian countries. Considering that, it shouldn’t be surprising if the religion that gets the most mockery is the most prominent in most Dopers’ lives and communities.

Replace “religion” with “racial minority” and let’s see if you are still so casual about things.

1. Christians are not a minority in the U.S.

2. People have a choice about their religion, and have the faith to defend it if need be. People do not have a choice about their race, and faith makes no difference to that.

Boy, howdy. Check the Catholic calendar to see that EVERY day is a Saint’s Day! Pick your favorites and buy champagne for each!

More like at least a dozen. Lots more Saints than days in the year, you see, even after the Big Cleanup which removed a lot which were clearly legendary.

Do you dislike atheists? Replace “atheist” with “sad-eyed puppies in the rain.”

You dislike sad-eyed puppies in the rain?! You sick bastard!

How many days(if any) are there without religious significance? We should know ahead of time when it would be allowed to post negatively about it.

And the first one of the year would, therefore, have religious significance.

Big time LOSERS. Wouldn’t they rather be pampered lap dogs reclining on pillows before a roaring fire, safe and dry, nibbling at braised calves’ liver? Why don’t they pull themselves up by their damn bootstraps?

…pawstraps…?

There was a sect whose name I can’t recall, who believed the consecrated nature of the Eucharist survived digestion. Thus they went to rather elaborate lengths to dispose of their excrements.

Giving new meaning to the phrase “holy shit, it’s Monday”.

I heard some truly grotesque stories from the nuns and teachers at my parochial school…

Ekie, I’m retiring from teaching after 30 years in the classroom in just a few weeks. I’ve taught thousands of kids from grades 7 through 12. I am, therefore, telling you based on a lot of personal experience that your posts (like the one quoted above) are typical of a middle school class clown with delusions of intellectual superiority. Really, go back and review your own posting history. How much of it is drive-by shitposting that nobody even bothered to acknowledge?

You’ve had students that sound like me? Good, I’m sure they’ll do fine.

I’d be more concerned about the students that sound like you. They’re more likely to lead lives of quiet desperation, with the occasional loud outburst of frustration.

And my posting history is ~55000 pinpoints of beautiful starlight, Pup, arranged in constellations of sublime charm.

None. But that’s ok, we make fun of it too. If you can’t laugh at your own culture, either your culture or yourself has a serious big problem. Heck, I have several books of graphic jokes about the RCC written and drawn by a priest, and I’ve seen quite a few of his jokes photocopied onto church handouts. I’m offended (in an intellectual way) when people make jokes of stuff they really, really, really don’t get, something which is more likely to happen when those people are external to the group they’re joking about, but so long as the joke makes sense, laugh away.
