White Caslte…The Templars?

I am irresistibly reminded of a creepy sig picture someone on another board has or had; it shows the Burger King staring down disturbingly at a man, and is captioned “WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW ?!” Does he know something we don’t ?
Also . . . where does Cthulhuism fit in all this ? Sushi ?

No-Taco Bell.
Am I the only one who thought of:
“Sometimes a french fry is just a french fry.”

This is very silly. If you are going to debate the use of food in religous life then you need to focus on The Last Supper. The painting, I mean, not the event. I have long thought Da Vinci was influenced by forces other than those that inspire a “normal” human. My previous training lead me to believe they were alien (e.t.) in nature, but now I am wondinger if there is not some type of food/sacred connection that is being overlooked. Thank you for this post and for the new ideas! I only wish you/your friend had went back to the beginning instead of spending your time with modern icons.
Is it time to sob in a corner now?
Speaking of Cthulhuism, I think this puts a whole new spin on the question of who will be eaten first.

I’d say she represents Mary.
Is there no help for the McNugget’s son?

Only if he can show me a sign.
After much reflection (and a helping of fries) I conclude that McDonaldLand’s foray into religiosity was a necessary response to the intrusion of Satan into the marketplace.
How soon we forget. 
I would never worship at any church where the sacrament tastes that bad…

Wait a minute. A connection… between food and the divine… in the Last Supper?
My God! How did no one pick up on this before now?!
[QUOTE=tomndebb]
To make this work, one might want to find examples of the characters in McDonaldland actually reenacting a creation, a nativity, a crucifiction, a resurrection, or a Pentecost-type event.

Something in the notion of a “Pentecost-type event” taking place in McDonaldland strikes me as delightfully incongruous, and gives me giggle-fits every time I think about it.

You took How to Spot Aliens 101 too? I flunked that. Kept incorrectly labeling David Gest.
I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but Leonardo DaVinci’s painting was actually an early example of product placement, and secret texts hidden in the Vatican crypts reveal that he was sponsored by Chianti “Sang Real” Wines, Giuseppe’s Bakery (“So fresh it’s holy!”), and Robes-R-Us.
You all laugh now, but when Ronald rises from the dead and ascends to the right hand of the Father…well, you’re gonna have to come up with a pretty good story of why you’ve been going to Wendy’s!
On the plus side, you’ll burn for all eternity in soybean oil – very non fattening, I hear.
I would like to nominate this thread for a name change to:
The Hazards of eating stale McDonald’s french fries while watching H.R. Puff’n’Stuff and tripping on Peyote.
Anyone second it?

Too long. How about simply: Santos McD: Please pass the Puffin’ Stuff
Yes, of course, it all makes sense now.
And if that’s so, then obviously, when the McDonald’s kid who takes your order asks if you want fries with that, he or she is really asking if you’d like to buy an indulgence.
“Supersized” is a code word for “big indulgence.” No lineup purgatory for you. Welcome to McDonaldland!
It does make sense!
Does this mean I have to eat their crappy food if I want to mock Christianity? Why doesn’t anyone with good food ever mock Christianity, that’s what I want to know… Why, if Chick-fil-a were to mock Christ I’d buy their weird pickle-chicken sandwich and the $5 shake at least once a week (on Sunday!)
