Palatable Communion.

[Something Else]

I always found the big ones to be tastier. They're sweeter.

I do believe in God, but I don't believe in religion as such. I think I have mentioned this before. My husband was raised protestant and I was raised catholic. Served as an altar girl and I used to go to church at least once a week up until I was about 16.
At that point I decided that I would no longer attend church because the ideas they have are in no way linear with my own ideas of what or who God is.

I believe you can have faith without having to conform to dogma or rule, applied by an organisation too rich and powerful for its own good.

For that very reason I won't have my son christened, nor will I take him to church or send him to a catholic school. You don't need a set of rules and a building to believe or to pray.

I believe, though, that faith is a very personal thing and each should experience it as he or she wants without pushing other people into it.

I think that means you're going to someone elses hell i'm afarid.

Watching endless repeats of THE OMEN I,II,III,IV,V,VI,VII is enough to keep me away from Churches for life, maybe thats why im so afraid to go to a funeral.

Gemmell feels the same way about churches. And nuns, he definitely doesn't like nuns.

BTW. I never realised that the theme tune from 'Charmed' is a cover from a song by The Smiths


@ benchez: It says in the bible ' You can find God under every stone etc etc' ( I'm paraphrasing here btw). I think it means you don;t have to go to church, so there, I smothered your argument with my biblical knowledge. Look at me catholisising. W00t.

I get the not liking nuns and the other general creepiness associated. But I don't understand why they uniformly make the host unpalatable.

Is this limited to Irish Catholics? What is the accepted Christ embodiment? Will a sausage roll not do?

Skweeky. I feel crushed by your ironing.

Or a wee cracker with some cheese on it. That would go better with the vino.

I always found it strange that the priest in our village used white wine for the mass.

Don't worry guys. If our leaders manage to get their ways, we'll all be praying to Allah within a generation or two, regardless of what our original religious viewpoints are.

The UK is fast becoming another Islamic State.


Then we won't have any choice at all...

London is first in line.
