I've read about this practice, but have never seen it in real life. Interesting.

Seriously how do you not know what Ash Wednesday is? This is one of those days of the year where we find out who spends all their time in their basement.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Did not realize they actually did it where it actually shows up. I recall way back in like elementary school we'd do it but pretty sure it just fell off after or was even wiped off. Was done mostly for the symbolism. I'm not catholic but it was just easier to go with it. And hey, it's a reason to be out of class.

Ironic statement about being butt hurt and blanket statements... LOL!

Religion isn't required for a connection to other humans.

The priest that did one lady in our office must have been a real dick. It looks like he used three closed fingers to put a cross on her head. It is SO huge LOL!!!!

Damn, guess that hit a nerve huh. :awe:

Don't worry, god loves you even if you're butthurt.

lol You're sad. I'm not the one with an imaginary friend who gets butt hurt if anyone questions its existence or the silly rituals I perform in its name.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Nope but being a but hurt basement dweller with no connection to other humans is needed to be a fuck-tard that takes every possible moment to insult and belittle other's faith.

True story.

I don't usually step in to these 4th grade arguments, but I'll make an exception here.

Your "butthurt" statement isn't coming on because beliefs are being questioned. It's coming on because of the insulting demeanor and belittling of the person holding a different view from yourself. If you were to say "Yeah, I don't think there's a God, so I don't participate in any type of religion....", the other person would say something like "I do because I like the perspective it gives me."

You would both go "Huh. How 'bout that." and be on your way. Instead, as is typical in any Internet discussion about religion, you have:

a: I am religious.
b: HAHAHA! You're a stupid moron that likes child molestation and hypocrisy!
a: What a jerk!
b: HAHAHA! You get all defensive when someone questions your beliefs!

Of COURSE someone is going to get upset if you insult them!

The rituals of Christians, Jews, and Muslims have a rich and vibrant history. You can actually learn a lot about how historical events came to be by studying them.

It all comes down to respect...unless someone has personally harmed you in some way, respect them and they'll respect you back. It's something people have lost in today's Jerry-Springer-In-Your-Face-No-Rules society.

From what I recall it's common practice to not wash them off until the evening but there's no hard and fast rule.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

 

[guachi]

Saw my first live ash-on-forehead while leaving work today. Took me a few seconds to realize what I was seeing and that it was the first time I'd ever seen it in person.

 

[IronWing]

Those ashes are made from the burnt bones of aborted baby Protestants. Jack Chick taught me that.

 

[FelixDeCat]

I havent had mine yet. Might get some this evening.

 

[Fritzo]

Those got too expensive, so they just use palm leaf now.

Since the season is getting underway...for all the practicing Catholics out there I offer this: These Forty Days of Lent is the same tune as the Gilligan's Island theme.

 

[Jadow]

i forgot it was today and was going to get a cold cut at subway, but saw someone with the ash. fish sandwich for me instead!

also bought 2 lobster tails for dinner tonight, my wife and i are going to be sacrificing not eating meat!

i know you're supposed to fast today, but in the church fasting has been redefined as "no snacking"
