Is it sacreligious?

“And what about that cat with the tuba? Any one who packs in a tuba should be aloud (sic) to play it!”

“we are animals too... stare at the fine specimen in the cubicle next to you and throw peanuts... they love that”

“Generally speaking, on reason I go backpacking is to "unplug." I don't want no radios, cell phones, laptops or even global positioning devices. It doesn't bother me to hear radios at trail heads, or to see other people using these things and I'm perfectly happy to hear people who do bring radios telling me about what they heard (news, weather, music)..

It ain't a moral thing for me.”

“Here's a peanut ped, good animal!”

“
Until somebody cranked up their ghetto blaster!”

“The guy in the cubicle next to me clips his fingernails a couple times a week. Every once in awhile an errant nail sliver sails over the partition, landing who knows where. clip! clip! clip! clip! clip!.....I'll take the radio any day.”

“In general, no spank you. It kills the mood on a quick overnighter. However, if I am going in the bush for a whole week, I do bring it. I was in Canada for a week last fall, post 9-11. It gave me piece of mind on the weather but most importantly it kept me up on world events. I didn't even play it loud in the wilderness. It didn't seem right. Bottom line: Radio as a tool- good. Radio as entertainment-bad.”

“I'm working in a cubicle now. It's pretty much okay, except for the woman who works in a cube near mine. She gets on the damn phone and yammers for hours to her friends and family about her personal problems. And not quietly either. She has one of those voices that really carry. I know more about her personal life than someone should know about someone else.

I know when she's working, because it's silent in here.

When she gets going, I just plug in my headphones and fire up an MP3 on my computer.”

“Bongo drums. Hate em.”

“If it is your personal prefrence to bring electronics into the wilderness, then just keep it just that- personal.”

“GPS units, polarfleece, synthetic fibers, titanium, nylon, satellite imagery, software produced maps, battery powered flashlights, freeze-dried foods, helicopter rescue......”

“Except for the helicopter rescues, none of which makes noise.”

“Someone is offended by any of those items. If we follow the argument used here it should be illegal to do anything or use anything someone somewhere may find offensive.”

“nope Gordon... nobody is saying bad manners should be illegal.”

“I had a small radio out in the sipsey to listen to an SEC game. This was also the time when the precidency was still up in the air. These 4-5 guys had been back there since they voted..and had no idea what was going on..and didn't believe us either..till i let them catch a listen on the ol FM”

“I didn't mention my little radio has earbuds. I wouldn't think of playing it thru speakers.”

“one of my favorite things about backpacking for a week is imagining all the things that could be happening without my knowing about it. It is kind of like holding a lottery ticket before you know you didn't win squat. Anything is possible.

I felt very blessed because I missed the first 5 days of the bru-ha-ha about Princess Di dying because I was out backpacking.”

“pepperDog, I was out on the trail at the same time. As we topped out at the highpoint on our way back to the trailhead, one of the guys I was with whips out a cell phone and dials home. His wife was all shook up, asking if we'd heard about the tragedy. We all gathered around and expected to hear that the President had been assasinated...what a relief to hear it was only Lady Di. >;oP”

“Hey, if you camp out in your back yard, you will get better radio reception, and you can recharge your cell phone for those long camp-outs.”

“'I would think long and hard before I'd want to hit the trail with someone who felt that they needed the constant reassurance of contact with "civilization" in the wilderness.'

My thoughts exactly. But then again, I have always had a steady supply of backpacking companions. If I ever leave home, I might not be so picky.”

“Yes, I have heard that people who overhydrate never lack for backpacking companions. Biz, you are living proof. Thanks be to Dawg!”

“I imagine all that sloshing could get annoying to your hiking partners. Almost like a blaring radio.”

“My Mom sent me a Saint Peregrine necklace. I'm kind of anti-catholic.


I'm not sure what to do.”

“SAINT PEREGRINE, PATRON AGAINST CANCER

Maybe she's trying to tell you she cares about you, bear.”

“So wearing it might be construed as being.......graceful/respectful in regards to my mom?”

“Sounds like a good reason to me. Wearing it doesn't necessarily mean you endorse the religion.”

“Sacrilege
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Sacrilegious)

Sacrilege is in general the violation or injurious treatment of a sacred object. In a less proper sense any transgression against the virtue of religion would be a sacrilege. It can come in the form of irreverence to sacred persons, places, and things.

“Jesus came upon a small crowd who had surrounded a young woman they believed to be an adulteress. They were preparing to stone her to death.

To calm the situation, Jesus said: "Whoever is without sin among you, let them cast the first stone."

Suddenly, an old lady at the back of the crowd picked up a huge rock and lobbed it at the young woman, scoring a direct hit on her head. The unfortunate young lady collapsed dead on the spot.

Jesus looked over towards the old lady and said: "Do you know, Mother, sometimes you really piss me off."”

“I hope its sacreligious.”

“Mother Superior calls all the nuns together and says to them: "I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."

"Thank God," says an elderly nun at the back of the room, "I'm so tired of Chardonnay."”

“Four nuns are standing in line at the gates of heaven. Peter asks the first if she has ever sinned.

"Well, once I looked at a man's #&%!$," she said.

"Put some of this holy water on your eyes and you may enter heaven," Peter told her.

He then asked the second nun if she had ever sinned.

"Well, once I held a man's #&%!$," she replied. "Put your hand in this holy water and you may enter heaven," he said.

Just then the fourth nun pushed ahead of the third nun.

"Why did you push ahead in line?" asked Peter.

"Because I want to gargle before she sits in it!" replied the nun.”

“What do you give a paedophile who has everything?







A bigger parish.”

“A Catholic priest, a Boy Scout leader and a lawyer take some boys out on an adventure trip. On the flight over, there is engine trouble and the plane is about to go down.

"We have a problem", says the pilot. "There are only three parachutes!"

The Boy Scout leader suggests they give them to the boys.

"Screw the boys," shouts the lawyer.

"Is there time?" asks the priest.”

“Vile....So what was the last thing the Roman....(NAH) would probably tick someone off.....”

“I'm not black so I can't tell black jokes,
I'm not Mexican, so I'm not allowed to tell Mexican jokes,
I'm not Polish, so Polish jokes are out,
So how come you can tell religious jokes?”

“because religious people hate the funniest ones and won't tell them for fear of burning in hell. Somebody has to”

“G-d bless the irreligious!”

“I guess that is true about religious people...as for the "faithful" people...never bothered us.”

“Six of the seven dwarfs are sitting around the house one day when Sleepy rushes in and says, "Guess what guys, I've won a trip to see the Pope!" Everyone gets all excited and chants, "We finally get to ask him, we finally get to ask him."

The next day, they are standing in front of the Pope, Dopey out in front of the other six. All the other six start pushing Dopey and saying, "Go ahead, Dopey, ask him, ask him!"

The Pope looks at Dopey and asks, "Do you have a question to ask me, young man?" Dopey looks up shyly and says, "Well, yes."

The Pope tells him to go ahead and ask. Dopey asks, "Well, do....do they have nuns in Alaska?" The Pope replies, "Well, yes, I'm sure we have nuns in Alaska."

The others all keep nudging Dopey and chanting, "Ask him the rest, Dopey, ask him the rest!" The Pope asks Dopey if there's more to his question, and Dopey continues, "Well, uh, do they have, uh, black nuns in Alaska?"

To which the Pope replies, "Well, my son, I think there must be a few black nuns in Alaska, yes."

Still not satisfied, the others keep saying, "Ask him the last part, Dopey, ask him the last part!" The Pope asks Dopey, "Is there still more to your question?"

To which Dopey replies, "Well, uh, yeah..... are there, uh, are there any midget black nuns in Alaska?" The startled Pope replies, "Well, no, my son, I really don't think there are any midget black nuns in Alaska."

At this, Dopey turns all kinds of colors, and the others start laughing, and yelling, "Dopey screwed a penguin, Dopey screwed a penguin!"”

“I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."

"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.

"Well, there's so much to live for!"

"Like what?"

"Are you religious?"

He said, "Yes."

I said, "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?"

"Christian."

"Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

"Protestant."

"Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

"Baptist."

"Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"

"Baptist Church of God."

"Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God."

"Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"

He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."

I said: "Die, heretic scum," and pushed him off.”

“You wasted all those 1's and 0's just to tell that? I thought you knew all the funny ones.”

“Lets not forget this:

”

“Now that red "X" is funny!”

“that Alaskan penguin joke .. . .

that one has me a little confused . .”

“Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are running mates in the 2008 presidential election, k? So Jessie says "If we gets the blessin' of the pope, we be shoo-ins!" So they...”

“See it's funny lee because there are no penguins in Alaska. Everyone knows they're a South Pole thing.


Get it now?”

“Come on, lee, stop playing coy. You know you've mistaken a penguin for a midget nun before.”

“LOL...does anyone remember the fuss over the Life of Brian?

GOD you woulda thought the world was ending. We had a chaplain (Catholic priest) who was directed to speak on it at Sunday mass. He got up and began speaking about it. He mentioned how it even shows Jesus preaching in the opening. And went on to tell how to him it showed we all tend to make GOD out of things or people that many times never even want to be or were inteded to be God.”

“like that jesus guy”
