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

    It depends. Catholic homilies come in one of five forms

    1. Boring 1200 year old platitudes, but they sound pretty

    2. Boring modern platitudes which sound awful

    3. frothing at the mouth charismatic right wing "too monarchist to be fascist" reaction

    4. Intense theological discussion using terms like "emanation of the divine logos" that goes over the congregation's heads

    5. Jesuit "rich people are all damned and to a first approximation you are all rich, repent, congregation of the damned!, here's an AK47, go join the EZLN!

    If you go to a wedding or funeral or baptism you'll get 1 if you're lucky or 2 if you're not.
