religion

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

This mom asked the folks of Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for cutting off some family after realizing that her in-laws were secretly pushing religion on her kids. I mean, that is not cool, not cool at all! Seems understandable enough. 

Man, you don't hear stories like this every day. Usually it's just the evangelists knocking on a bunch of people's doors and annoying them as they try to dispense their precious pamphlets. In this case, the evangelists met their match, and then some. They literally end up being chased away. Way to go Dad. 

This quick and entertaining Tumblr post shines some light on the widely accepted truth that a quick snooze and a snack can calm the fieriest of tempers. Seriously though, once the post-nap disorientation wears off, the mind will often feel so much better. At the very least, it's worth a shot. 

The real question here is how Karen managed to figure out that this church manager's followers were in the adult film industry? Karen did some serious digging on that profile before she broke out the holier-than-thou BS. Big ups to the church manager for the way he handled this. Looks like Karen will have to take it up with the dude upstairs. 

It's a passive aggressive holiday ritual. Some families have elf on the shelf and others have "please take that horrible excuse for a Jesus away." For some more religious-themed tumblr shenanigans, here's a Tumblr thread on holy water loopholes and for more unique family dynamics here are people's weirdest family tics.

Ever thought to dilute holy water? Well apparently you can. Some folks have a few jugs of pope-certified holy water just kinda hanging around in the back of their linen closet. For something lighter, here's a wholesome Tumblr story about summoning a demon while making a sandwich.

For those not in the know, sleep paralysis is a pretty common phenomenon that's found all across the globe. You find yourself sort of in between being asleep and being awake, like you're conscious, but you can't move or speak. An episode of sleep paralysis can be accompanied by hallucinations that look like a face or figure, and that's commonly referred to as a demon or a visitor. It's pretty god damn scary. Anyway, this person told their mom and it backfired. People mess up, and sometimes that screw up is in their control. Here's a guy who thought a date was a job interview.

Apparently Assassin 33 AD just came out and it has a few people confused. Honestly, it's extremely hard to tell from the reviews and trailers if this is some low budget goofball satire, weird fundamentalist propaganda or an ill-fated sci-fi christian fever dream. Laura Robinson gives an interesting account on the film.

Pastor Bob was out there selling the people on practicing certain parts of faith, while he was running around mistreating his wife in all kinds of ways. It sounds like he was even dipping into donation funds to finance his dates with various women, while he had a wife the whole time. Insane. Pastor Bob ultimately got what was coming his way. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the various ways they would design "Mehven" to ensure that it was tailored well for the people that just did an "alright" job throughout their lifetime. Not good, not bad, just meh.
