Shorten your time in purgatory

...and take care of stray cats...

Of course beliefs can stand mockery but what is the point? What is achieved? It is like a group giggling and pointing at the expense of another group. Like the playground. I find it upsetting (not because of my beliefs or otherwise) so will just go away. Shouldn't have stuck my nose in again. Serves me right.

As a child, I spent almost all my lunchtime praying in the Lady Chapel. Didn't do me a scrap of good. Still, haven't turned out too badly since. Mind my P's and Q's, don't drop litter, hardly ever get tipsy, do my best to be kind to little old ladies etc.,

Titters...[naughty ones!]

Greatnan probably writes some of 'em. And Bags.

I hope he doesn't read some of the replies he gets.

Don't you go reading those soop.

Wot, no nice book or anything?

When I was an eleven year old at the convent school, I was informed that, as a non Catholic I wouldn't get out of purgatory. Know what? I believed it at the time.

One day less in Purgatory, jings...well worth it.

soop they are quite short. They don't take much reading. And you can skim read them.

This springs to mind !

What is it I get?

Hooray!!!

I follow his tweets! (Punches air) (smile)

Well, a belief that can't withstand a bit of mockery is not very strong!

Bugger that for a game of soldiers. If I continue to chortle at this rate, I'm going to have to change my Sloggis.

Perhaps the Religion and Spirituality Thread could change to "Lets mock other peoples' beliefs thread" I haven't looked at it for a while but just popped in and of course it is the same old, same old. Won't pop in again for a while.

Of course it's not a joke. Yes, it seems ludicrous to those of us who aren't practising RCs but live and let live, for goodness sake...

I thought the idea of purgatory had gone the way of limbo, so I would hazard a guess that it is a joke, but would Sky News be publishing it? Micelf?????

This surely has to be a joke?!

And in 2013 there are still people around who will believe this stuff?
