"Prove you're an atheist"

I could get totally behind that if they were just girding their loins. Yessir, there’s nothing like a good girding to get your loins ready to face the day. Yep. Girded loins, boy, that’s the ticket.

What is the concept, exactly?

Be good and tithe and all that Gawd will heap BMWs and gold jewelry upon you.

That’s actually -Joe 3:16, isn’t it?

I’ve never seen anyone actually pretend to put it on, but it was a common theme at my church growing up. They were a very charismatic and evangelical church, and they made a big deal out of spiritual warfare. I remember being taught to “put the armor on”, but it was just part of a prayer. We weren’t mimicking the donning of battle plate or anything.

Pretending to put it on is…well, I try not to make judgment calls about other people’s beliefs. Let’s just leave it that I wouldn’t do it.

I’ve been outdone! Now, if you have any haiku to contribute…

Now, see, that’s another reason I couldn’t be a Xian. I can barely manage to get to work on time with my usual morning routine–adding all this would make me late every single day. And you know that half way through something would distract me and I’d forget which pieces of invisible armor I still had to put on, so I’d have to just start all over.

Put on God’s armor
Be sure to cinch the belt tight
Lest codpiece fall off.

Good answer. Rather obvious this Jesus person is having a Niagara-like period. Would that he wasn’t so open about sharing said fact.

Way too much TMI for moi.

j/k.

I just wanted you to know that this post made me laugh out loud.

Thanks, after writing it I realized it would have a little more punch if I said, “…IT guy from Brazil…” or something to put the correct pronunciation in people’s heads.

Okay, that’ll be one new Logitech keyboard, please.

Just so you know, it absolutely cracked me up too, and don’t worry - the inflection thing came through fine anyway :smiley:

Google ads are currently all for Cthulhu related things.

“I put on my robe and wizard hat…”

Oh, that is good.

I have to find the link to that again - it was on my old computer and I’ve just now realised it’s missing. :smiley:

I work in a carpet store. Generally, regular “supermarket” brands of carpet cleaners, like Resolve or Spot Shot work very well. We recommend that you have some on hand, because it’s good to get the cleaner on the spot as soon as possible. Blot up the extra liquid and apply the carpet cleaner according to the label directions. The stain should come out.

In other words, it doesn’t really matter whether the stain is blood ir wine if you’re using a commercial spot remover.

No it’s from the epistle of Robertson to the Shut-ins.

Prove your a religious person. Give your worldly goods to charity and dedicate your life to helping others. A test Billy Graham, Pat Robertson ,Swaggert and other leaders fail miserably as they accumulate personal wealth and live in mansions.
