Fire in the Church

Jan 27, 2008 19:32

I'm a Roman Catholic, which means I have to go through Confirmation before I'm fully in the church. Unfortunately, this means Confirmation classes so that we can all know what is in the bible and know each other as a community. This only works partway because most of them aren't interested in religion but plenty interested in each other because ( Read more... )

Setting himself on fire- repeatedly? How did he manage that? *marvels at stupidity*

Very carefully.

He'd have one hand right over the lighter, and then *click*, you'd see the flame, and he'd let go of the lighter, and wave the burnt hand around for a bit.

And then repeat the process a few minutes later.

That's nuts!...And I feel guilty because I haven't done COnfirmation yet and probably never will...^_^'

Do adult classes for Confirmation, if you ever bother.

The teen classes are possibly the most inane thing I've ever gone through.

The volunteer work is okay though.

Yeah, I'll try to go for that then. I've been thinking about switching Churches lately, which is why I haven't yet.

Heh. Changing churches is fuuuuun.

Well, only if the church you are at currently sucks .:S

There's something ironic about things being set on fire in a church. Something very ironic.

As a lapsed pseudoCatholisomething, I can't empathize with being in Confirmation classes, but if they're any thing like Catholic school religion classes, you have my condolences.

They're not especially horrible. It's just other people (mostly the people in the class who don't care and don't bother partcipating) and the fact that occasionally when the Confirmation "teachers" try to use the Scriptures and try to take symbolism out of it they muck it up completely. For example, they tried to say that Biblical Talents were literal talents, as compared to money, when many bibles that have annotations and explanations even say it is money and not actual talent. XD
