This wtf fits in to the current offrail:
I've got a friend for a few years now. He always seemed to objectively despise religion for reasons best known to himself. So we always avoided religious discussions, ok.

Today he reveals to me that he has been confirmed. wat.

Confirmed for what? HIV positive? Scholarship? Inherited millions from a long lost relative?
Presumably into a Christian faith.

Sorry, yeah, 'confirmation' is supposedly a coming of age thing. It's supposed to have high standards for entry, though nvm its a long story

No it doesn't.

Speaking as someone who's been there and done that.

It was just this class where I basically sat there, nodded along, and ate food.  And at the end there was a ceremony.

Edit: Ooh wait. Just remembered a piece of gold that came up in youth group that proves we need to educate people about religions that aren't their own:
Quote
Budda, yeah. That's the one the Jews worship, right? The one where an apple dropped on his head.
God I about died when the kid said this.

lol

The apple dropping on his head part comes from a myth where an apple fell on Issac Newtons head and that inspired/insighted him to his laws of physics. So, how that one ended up getting mixed up with Bhudda and the Jews, I have absolutely no idea.

There was one thing or another where Bhudda sat under a tree, but I don't think any sort of fruit ever fell on his head.

Someone on my Steam friend list sent me a message along the lines of, "hey u want to play".
I figured I might as well, and clicked on the game I'm friends with this from... and then Steam just completely fucking died. Didn't even just go unresponsive for ages like it usually does when it crashes, it just froze for a second, a Windows dialogue to the effect of "yep, it's fucked" popped up and Steam zooped out of there.

Fun times. I guess I'll watch another SS13 video instead. I wasn't really in the mood to play Brawlhalla anyway. :P   


Also, isn't there a religion thread still floating around the forum? Why the fuck is this discussion taking place in here?
If it ain't politics it's religion, or any number of other controversial topics. Goddamnit you guys keep it in its thread.

Because that's the way Bay12 derails roll. lol.

In all seriousness though, we weren't talking about anything controversial or anything particular about religion.

Waitwaitwait. It doesn't? We were told that if we didn't go to x amount of classes, do x amount of hours of charity work in four different places (family, comunity, church, and something else), memorize 10+ bible verses, we wouldn't be able to be confirmed. We didn't even get food, you lucky bastard.

No, where he sat under a tree he was tempted by a sort of devil or somesuch with a number of virgins. Who if I'm remembering properly were the devil's daughters.

Different church, I suppose.  Yours sounds harsh.

Then again, mine's quite possibly pretty close to outright heretical sometimes.

Which flavor of church are we talking anyway?

I suppose it varies from church to church and denomination to denomination.

Catholic Christian.

And you know how I said 'long story' earlier? All that stuff I talked about was lies. We were told we had to do it, but the total number of people who were confirmed at the ceremony was more than double the whole class had ever been and nobody seemed to see an issue with that.

Also the heresy sounds interesting. Expound?

Sounds a heck of a lot like the Garden of Eden situation. Still though, point still stands, pretty sure Buddha never had any fruit fall on his head.

How the thing with Issac Newton got in there, I have absolutely no idea.

Also, it's spelled Buddha.

editwhiletyping: I thought it was spelled Bhudda, my mistake.

The priest, naming no names, has said that they support gay marriage.  Much liberalism.

Also it may have been diocesan, I know mine was - had an entire cathedralfull of attendees.
