But you only need to go on Sundays anyway. Or Saturday nights.

Plus Ash Wednesday.

And Holy Week.

And... all the other Days of Obligation.

I thought most churches did that.

Well, most Catholic churches do that.

You're thinking of Sunday Nights, Condo.

Actually a lot of churches do, especially in areas where a lot of attenders might have to work Sunday.

No, you can always go on Saturday night instead of Sunday morning.

Yes, the Saturday evening Mass "counts" as the Sunday one. It's pretty useful if on Sunday you're just too busy (say, you have to take a plane or stuff like that.)

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

I keep thinking Loose Cannon is Barkey due to the avatar. It's so weird.

I've only been to church like once ever. It was pretty dull.

This church is a Baptist one, and although I kinda prefer the Catholic thought about religion, my mom's Baptist, so I'm going with her.

But I'm still undecided. Not even baptized or anything.

@LC: That's good. It should be up to you.

@Freeman: It mostly is pretty boring actually, but I love the readings and the singing. But my family goes every week. tongue It can get pretty grating, especially when it's packed with Chreasters.

What kind of church did you go to?

[up] Good for you! Do Protestants get Confirmed or not? I don't really know how it works! tongue

I don't think I was baptized. Looks like I'm going straight to hell (probably). Or was it limbo?

[up] I'm guessing it was Catholic, as my parents are. But I was like 5 or 6 then, don't really remember.

You don't go to Hell just for not being Baptized.

It is believed that most people go straight to Purgatory, which isn't that bad, just kind of boring, until you are ready.

[up] Why did your parents just take you once? Also, you've prolly never had a Communion wafer. They are kind of really, really delicious.

I'm a Baptist. My personal belief is that baptism by itself is just a symbol that ultimately counts for nothing, what really matters is what it represents: Acceptance of Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and striving to follow His example.

@condo: Yep, it's up to me. And I've narrowed it down to either Catholicism or Agnosticism. I'm in no rush, really.

I'm Agnostic and also still very Catholic.

And this is kind of a deep conversation, you guys.

@condo: My parents are either busy with work or taking care of other things at home. We're not that religious, really. And my dad is working Sundays.

Woah, cool action sequence. Dave is almost cool now.

Come on, it's been fully established that Dave is

Soooooo. Cooooool.

Woah sweet animation! Is this The Cascade?

HAHHAHAHAHAHA. WV: Ascend is to Cascade like a hot pocket is to a full course meal.

Reading Homestuck actually inspired me to pick up my crochet again... (Even though Rose knits...)

I made this wrist warmer◊ Working on the second one now.

Looking good Turtle. I don't know anything about crocheting of course.

Are there any references to previous MSP As that I've missed? I noticed the What Pumpkin? thing, but I probably don't know about any of the others.

Dozens, if not hundreds. There are also of references to fan theories, Homestuck memes, real life events, holidays, and all sorts of things that you aren't likely to pick up on as an archive reader. On the other hand, you don't have to wait for updates.

To be fair, they dipped me in some water in a tub. All I did was give my love to God, and I was dipped in!

Hey, remember when I said fried eggplant was like crack? Crab meat is like Super Saiyan Crack. I can see why it's considered a delicacy. It's like potato chips, except that you can actually eat them for dinner and it'd be acceptable!

Not much is known about Purgatory, I think. I sort of remember reading a medieval mystic who speculated that it might actually be as harsh as hell, perhaps even harsher — after all, purifying oneself is not a simple task. The good thing is that people there know that they will eventually make it to Heaven, though.

I dunno, it seemed to make sense to me — but as I said, that's not something about which anything is known.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.
