Patron Saints
February 4, 2018 at 10:37 pm
I think it's high time the Catholic church recognised saints that have been put forward by other groups and individuals.

My proposal for a true blue Aussie saint.

Saint Bruce, Patron Saint of Bruces and Brucesses.

All suggestions welcome.

We need a patron saint for guys who can't get laid in high school.

My picture of him would be Zach Galifianakis in monk's robes saying, "Look, dude. Just hang in there. College chicks are way different."

I chose St Joan of Arc as my confirmation saint.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I like the English Saint Nick of Thyme...

The patron saint for guys humping other women and getting out of the house in the nick of time just before the boyfriend arrives.

But since atheism isn't anything much in itself, I'd prefer to name him the patron saint of eloquent and passionate spontaneous verbiage.
