I have questions too.
Why are you surprised some very Catholic family members gave your daughter a bracelet?
Did you previously tell those family members to please not give her any religious gifts?
Do you not know what the images represent?
What questions were you afraid your daughter was going to ask?
Our family members know that we’re not Catholic.
No, we’ve never explicitly asked them not to talk about religion or give us religious stuff. It’s usually just kind of “known” that we aren’t into it.
I do know exactly what the images are. I just don’t think they’re executed well, nor are they appropriate for a 6 year old.
Questions like “Why does that person have their boobies out?” And “Why are they red?” And “Why are they posed like that?” And “Who are the lady and the man?”
She doesn’t need answers to those kinds of questions at her age.
I too would hesitate to try to explain House Bolton to a six year old.
Right??
I think you're overreacting just a little. It's an admittedly badly designed bracelet. Oh no.
Do you get this worried about Santa Claus too?
I think you’re misunderstanding me and ascribing to me some sentiment that I am not intending to convey.
And Santa Claus is not a corpse.
You're making ridiculous statements, man. You are 100% over thinking and over reacting. Honestly from the comments you made in this post it feels like you're being religious about being atheist, and acting crazy because a religion dared step foot into your family.
It's a dumb bracelet, that a family member probably thought was a nice thing for a gift.
Guess what. Jesus was never a corpse either. Lol
LOL. Dude, you’re really trying to start something here, and it’s just sad. Stop trying so hard. It’s not working.
Says the guy posting like it's an emergency his daughter got a dumb bracelet from a family member. Lol
Again, I think you’re misinterpreting my tone, but maybe I’m the one here who should work on my writing skills. Sorry it’s not clear enough to you that I’m not offended or surprised by the gift, and also that I was just sharing the absurdity of the stupid bracelet with (hopefully) like-minded people.
Lol, what the fuck are you going on about ya dingus? I haven't read anything like that from OP. And that looks like a corpse on the bracelet. But also, don't give people your religious bullshit if they are not religious.
Guess what, even if you believe in Jesus, he was a corpse for 3 days ya dumb cunt. Lol
Resurrection
noun
(in Christian belief) the rising of Christ from the dead. noun: Resurrection; noun: the Resurrection
Corpse
noun
a dead body, especially of a human being rather than an animal.
To ressurect, you have to be dead. A corpse is a dead body. You are also a dumb cunt lol. Fucking hell. No wonder so many religious people follow Trump. You're all dumb cunts.
I'm not sure if English is your second language, but I cannot understand what you are trying to say. No matter what you are trying to say, he was a corpse. Are you trying to say he was a corpse for 2 days and not 3? Maybe 2.5 days? If so, then yeah, sure.
Thanks for chiming in. You really moved the conversation into a positive place.
No problem 👍🏼
What about those 3 days his body spent in the cave after dying on the cross?
Double check what community we're in.
I'm pretty sure if Jesus existed, he became a corpse eventually.
i mean, if there was a real person behind the jesus myth, he definitionally was a corpse at one point or another
