6. My mom has no interest in seeing any of the Harry Potter movies
b/c of the witchcraft connection. :eyes: Yes, she's a staunch Catholic. What can I say?

7. A wise decision. If she had rented it, the devil would've personally possessed her through
the television screen.
Happens all the time.

12. She's a religious fundy. You don't get anymore weak-minded than that.
When possessed by the devil, you feel compelled to give your money to shady televangelists, attend giant prayer meetings and convulse on the floor and froth at the mouth every time the 'spirit' moves you. The devil also makes you dress like a complete rube.
The devil's kind of lame, actually.

Believe it or not, back when I was young and quite impressionable, I became a fundie nutbag for awhile.

23. Well, not good
I was not a "lifelong Christian" so I was kind of an outcast.

24. If you're not pounding the kool-aid down by the pitcher...

I think you're much better off as one of us.

13. I would have asked her if she ever ate any Devil Dogs.
And then told her that some people should not be allowed to breed.

19. These are people who generally find meaning in superficial symbols and words.
Who cast aside critical thinking for dogma and doctrine.

Their faith is not in God, but in semiotics and the Barthe mythos of Christian faith.
