Swearing On Your Mom's Soul Here (My Atheist Friends Can Skip This Or Not:))

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Please don’t do that, okay?

IMO, it isn’t necessary.

Firstly, if she and her soul are in heaven, leave her be - she deserves her peace after having raised your sorry ass and put up with your shenagigans all those years.

If you tell the truth and someone doesn’t believe you, whose problem is that - yours? If so, then you’re taking on much more of a load in that disagreement than you should. So someone calls you a liar here, so what? Leave your mother out of it and walk away.

If she’s in hell for whatever reason, she has enough to keep her busy without you messing with her soul, which she no longer owns anyway.

What will probably happen is that Beelzebub will step in for Mom and do his best to get you down there as well.

“What’s the matter, Louise?”

“Oh, it’s Bobby. He’s been swearing on my soul again.”

“Tsk, tsk. That boy!”

“Yeah, I worry about him so much!” (See? You really wanna do that to your Mom? Make her worry in a place where she shouldn’t have to do that?)

Just think about it next time you feel the need to put the load on your Mom, okay?
You can argue your point without having to bother her.

This was satire (of a sort), okay? It isn’t meant to stir up a hornet’s nest or a debate, so just read it, laugh and say, “That Quasi, he’s so crazy”, and let it go at that.

Thanks

Oh, Quasi. You so crazy. :slight_smile:

LOL!

I don’t swear on Mom’s soul, but I frequently do or say things that would have her spinning in her grave if we hadn’t had the dear lady cremated. As it is, I keep expecting to hear of a massive dust storm near that part of the cemetery… almost as if someone had stuck a hand blender into the urn and stirred things up.

I always thought it was strange how people would be swearing on other people’s souls. I mean (not exactly an expert here) but another person’s soul isn’t mine to swear on, is it?

Do you think “I swear on my mother’s grave” shares the problem though? It’s only a piece of earthly property.

It’s a set phrase, like “My god!” or “Jesus Christ!” It no longer carries its literal meaning, but it has sufficient emotional content to be useful in conversation.

Is it OK to swear on my foreparents’ grave? It’s sandstone and concrete, and I don’t think it really cares…

God damned fish! I swear on my mother’s sole!

As an atheist, I usually swear “on my grandmother’s grave” when I need to get that point across. I’d no sooner defile her grave than I would a US flag or a copy of the constitution.

But if we ever have a zombie outbreak, Gammy is gonna be pissed.

I swear on Quasimodem’s soul that water runs uphill.

Well? Anything?
