I write porn at work now, and am very put out when they interrupt me with these ridiculous requests to fix computers.
See? Shrift gets important stuff done!
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

I like teamwork when it's me telling a bunch of people what to do, my way and when I want it done.

At first I was horrified and very very sad that I made you throw up, but I have decided to make it into a positive.

Natter on saints:
billytea -
St Teresa of Avila toddled off at the age of about eight in search of Moors to martyr her. They've marked the spot just outside Avila where her uncle caught up with her.calli-
No martyrdom until you turn 16 young lady!

Who knew saints were so funny?
DavidS: I like the really grotesque saints. Like the woman who carried her amputated breasts on a tray. That really made a statement.
billytea: Yeah. "Would you like fries with that?"

It's "Fun With Religion" Day at Buffistas. From Spoilers, but non-spoilery:
amych: There's a car full o' Kristian Krap that parks in the same lot as me at work -- and one of this person's bumper stickers says "I know the ending - GOD WINS". And every day, I'm like, dude, whitefont!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
From Natter:
billytea:
At age 21 she was pronounced dead, but suddenly recovered during her funeral and levitated to the roof of the church (one may be grateful she didn't wait till they got to the cemetery).
DXMachina:
Sounds like somebody got an Urn of Osiris for Christmas...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aimee, sharing MM's livejournal musings on Easter:
"Hey guys...I'm back."
"UNDEAD!! KILL IT!!"
"No! Guys...it's me! JC! Son of God? Remember?"
"GET THE TORCHES!"

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it
Anne W.:
...one of the early popes (Gregory, IIRC) advocated creating certain saints to replace all them feelthy pagan gods. Ergo, Demeter became St. Demetrius, Dionysus became St. Denis, and so on. Statues of Mary replaced statues of Cybele and other goddesses. Basically, Gregory approached evangelism as if it were a brand-awareness campaign.
