Posting this on the dunk tank so I talk shit.
Like holy fuck man. Every god damn homily is
god is good because he loves us. God loves us because he is good. You need to love good because he loves us. You need to serve god because he loves us.
Repeat for 10-20 minutes.
What is wrong with these people. Do they not teach rhetoric at priest school? God damn it’s pathetic. How do you get your asses handed to you by prosperity gospel preachers despite branding yourselves as the true successors to saint peter or whatever? I’m constantly falling asleep because these monotonous fucks just repeat the same shit every week. And then people in my family have the audacity to be mad because I find someone boring. Sorry, they’re not god, they’re man, they’re allowed to be boring and bad at their jobs.
How do you spend 70-80 years of your life at this shit and think “:soypoint-1: WHOA HE’S TOTALLY GOT A PROFOUND POINT!!!”
I have a lot of problems with religion and specifically Christianity, but the most offensive thing is how boring it is. Is there any denomination that isn’t a total scam that isn’t boring as fuck? I’m willing to become a pesbestarian or Quaker or whatever as long as they don’t waste my hour spewing shit that makes me sleep
I think it's less to do with what they're saying and more to do with people entering into a sort of collective ritualistic trance. Monotony and repetition are used heavily in hypnosis and I don't think it's a coincidence that there are similarities.
People go to feel good, feel calm, and be soothed. The fact that it makes you feel close to falling asleep is probably a large part of the reason it is so calming and soothing to some people.
Yeah one of the few times I went to mass with my granma they said the full hail mary like 40 times and damn I grew desperate to leave that ridiculous place
