Americans are fucking weird sometimes

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (2 children)

yes, but globally, christians and many other 'worshippers' are fucking idiots every day

I expect nonsensical cringe from all of them, and they continue to deliver with headlines weekly

Sure, but American christians just take it to a whole 'nother level.

Edit: just to prove my point, this was apparently taken in the James River Church in Missouri:

They've upgraded since I was a kid. They used to rip phone books in half and tell me their god could give me that strength.

Did you go to the Gemstone's church?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I love that show. It does remind me of when my tiny weird little church would go to special events at the closest weird mega church.

You know, converting to christianity might not be such a bad idea after all!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

For real. Fuck the Stations of the Cross, this is the pageantry that was clearly what Jesus was all about.

They do take it to the HNL.

Hi. Mainline Protestant here. You can make fun of us all you want for any of our quirky liturgical traditions. But even I don't get whatever the hell shenanigans the Pentecostals are up to in one of the other replies to your comment. They are a ...uh... interesting bunch.
