h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Did anybody mention this to The Health & Safety Executive?

Anyone? Need I remind you how this thread started?*


*Tis a much better thread now.

'It's much too hard to sing with your mouth full'

I can't imagine what you thought I meant...

Hang on, I'd best got on my knees again - I feel some repentance coming on...

Yes anyone.

You know, we always used to wonder about the nuns...

(Actually we were sure some of them were men anyway)

Hallelujah Brother, let it come. Can you feel the Spirit filling you?
Are you speaking in tongues yet?

All together now. Big breaths...

Come Holy Ghost, creator come...

'Come Holy ghost, create her come'? Catholics eh? Smutty, smutty individuals.


(Will the rest of the FFFF be mightily miffed by this thread when they wake from their slumbers?)

aren't they, by definition, supposed to be fairly tolerant folk?

Tolerant, but frightfully intellectual (I refer you again to my first post!)

I wonder how many confession boxes have glory holes?

'Do you want 12 Hail Marys or do you want to repent right now?'

Too far?

Glory, glory hallelujah.

Intellectualism as Religion?

Oh dear. I'm afraid my reaction to sacred cows is to fire up the barbecue.

well the priest sits in the dark, behind a screen. There's no way anyone can see him.

Hmmm. "Bless me Father, for I have sinned. it has been 15 years since my last confession. Now, where shall I start..."

Thing is, I thought that as this is the 'Freedom From Faith Foundation' there wouldn't be any believers about. I thought they'd have their own threads where they can discuss leprechauns, Father Christmas and the like.* That's why I assume a certain intelligence in the people that post here.


* I am very, very, *very* anti-theist. Nice people do the right thing bacause it's right, not because they're told to.

I think the Hail Mary's are looking good. 'Glory holes'?!!!

To think I turned down being an altar boy too...

How is it I can assist any thread whatsoever into a nosedive towards innuendo and smut?

Pedro - you can take the hail marys - the glory hole's MINE!

Nah, Roymondo, the glory hole's HIS! And don't you forget it. The priest's probably reading the racing section in the paper anyway

yes. There was a fundamentalist American Christian of some sort (Baptist I think) talking to Richard Dawkins last night. When RD asked if he thought religion was the only thing stopping people committing rape, murder and theft he said that everyone would go out and commit those acts if they thought they could get away with it. erm, excuse me?

(Actually, all the men that abused me professed to be devout, pious, Holy-Joes and the kindest, gentlest, most considerate man I have ever met is an atheist through and through.)



Oh come on Roymondo. EVERYONE knows leprechauns are extinct!



Pedro, why is your showing as a yellow word in yellow angle-brackets? All the other smileys on the page are working. Have you been practising some sort of juju?

nah, he's got a bottle of irish whisky in there. (I've never seen anyone put away as much whisky as an irish Catholic priest)

My is working fine for me (said the actress to the bishop).

As for Irish catholic priests, well the Scots are their close cousins in more ways than one, in both distilling and disposing.

of course there's always the chance the Twatigan (that's such a wonderful name) will change their minds. After all they've just abolished Limbo.

(I reckon it's just because Natzi Ratzi couldn't go down far enough to fit under the Pole )

i thought perhaps they'd finally got fed up of people like me saying "But Sister, if Heaven is a state of union with God, while Hell is separation from God how can there be a third option? You're either with Him or not with Him, surely?" but it can't be that, 'cos they haven't actually abolished purgatory

So, I wonder when we can expect il papa to do a u-turn on homosexuality. Do you think he's likely to bend in the near future?




Believers? What believers? Let me at 'em!

And now, a musical interlude...
