I recently was linked to a game called Quaker Meeting, found at the bottom of this. Now, I'm not one to get offended, but the misconception kind of bothered me a bit. Any thoughts?
generally any reference to a religion for puposes of amusement is going to be factually inaccurate. Chrono Crusade is hardly Catholic Dogma. Also this sounds like a dumb game.
J, is very Catholic. I'm not. She tries not to get too Catholic around me, but I can't resist the chance to say Jesus on a stick whenever possible. We've had discussions about our differences on the religion/faith issue and she has asked me not to make fun of her religion, but when I think about what that meands it's kind of like me asking her not to reference her religious POV in any way.
IMHO all we have is now then it's boom boom out go the lights. But that doesn't mean you can just go buck-wild remember everyone here has a shotgun so be polite.
Eh, it's not offendably bad (IMO). If Quakers had invented the game, I'd think it was pretty funny, since the Quakers I know have a good sense of humor about themselves and their religion. At least the person who made it up had some notion of what goes on a meeting at all - most people I've met, when Quakerism is brought up, just go, "Like the dude on the oatmeal box?"
I used to laugh a lot in MASS when I was a kid. It really irritated a lot of adults, and got a lot of the other kids in trouble when I got them laughing.
I threw up on the alter once too. I was an alterboy and I wasn't feeling too good that time. I asked them to let me take a pass on doing it, but there wasn't anyone else on hand so I got up there and lasted as long as I could till I blew chunks.
They didn't ask me to help out with that anymore after that.
I was holding the little decanters with the water and wine. I started to get really dizzy and I stepped forward and placed them on the alter because I thought I would drop them, then I stepped back and lost it I think I tried to point it all down toward my feet, but some landed on the alter.
Some adult ran up and grabbed me and dragged me down the center aisle. There was a trail of spew all down it. Then they yelled at me for not just refusing to go up the. I was a kid damn it. I didn't have the personal power to refuse their demands. They said I was supposed to go up there even though I told them I was feeling really sick.
The first time my brother went to silent meeting, someone farted. My dad said he'd never heard that happen before. It was like the meeting knew Andrew was coming.
