Blasphemous

On a scale of 1 - 10, how blasphemous do you think it would be to flick someone with holy water?

I ask because when we were at the mission at San Jose, I flicked mr. blume with holy water. 

What?
I wanted to see if he would sizzle or burn, like in the movies, in case he's secretly a vampire or other assorted demon spawn. Turns out, no.
Either movies lie/exaggerate, or mr. blume's just a dude. Not sure which. 

I crossed myself with the holy water left on my fingers after flicking him, do you think that cancels out the blasphemy?

On second thought, maybe it wasn't blasphemous. Maybe I just baptized him.

No, remember, he's the only one that HAS been baptised. Maybe I'm just beyond all hope :)

Seeing as this was a Catholic mission, I suggest you confess privately and say ten "Hail Mary's". God will forgive you.

If he was already baptized, and I baptized him again, does that make him a born-again Christian?

The thing is, I think if I say 'hail Mary' I have to actually be sorry to be forgiven. I wish you could have seen the look on mr. blume's face when I flicked him. It was awesome. I wish I had a picture of it.

Fern obviously forgets her previous Catholic ways. If you must be forgiven, the Catholic way would dictate that you confess to a priest, take punishment - maybe a flogging? - and go about your pro-life and homophobic ways. Oh, and don't forget to give them money. If you ever see the Vatican, you will realize that money buys God's forgiveness.

Now are you ready to do all that young lady or accept that you are tainted in the eyes of the Catholic church?

Oh, and I don't think the fact that mr. blume didn't sizzle disqualifies him from being demon spawn. What if they have found some sort of forcefield or if he is a really powerful demon that isn't even fazed by holy water? Yea, think about it.

I'm anti-flogging.

Gasp. I know. I've never said it before, but I'm willing to come out today on my anti-flogging position.
What a relief. I hated keeping that a secret for so long.

If I'm anti-flogging, does that mean I'm excommunicated?

Shamrock said...

I think that does mean you are excommunicated and now you can't inform them of mr. blume's evil plan!!

quartergoddess said...

It doesn't matter whether I'm excommunicated or not, I still can't inform them about mr. blume's evil plan, because I don't really know it.

Is he telling other people his evil plan and not me? That's just mean, mr. b!

M - Next time we're in a mission/Catholic church together I promise to blaspheme by flicking you with holy water. See you're not beyond all hope, you have that to look forward to.

Now, I just have to figure out a scenario where I can get you close to holy water.

Good luck with that! And, by the way, he is Lutheran so you might have really just screwed things up for him, way to go.
