The clean underwear heresy
November 30, 2011 at 11:41 pm
When Christen dum ruled the western world it was a heresy to wear clean underwear on Saturday (and I assume at sundown Friday night). This was a crime punishable by torture and death.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

Well the magic Mormon underwear will protect you from evil anyway, not that sinful non-Mormon underwear which doesn't cover the midsection or most of the legs & arms.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Personally I think the French have it right when it comes to underwear.

And be sure to wear clean underwear when you go on a car trip, so you won't have dirty underwear on if you get in an accident.
BS! Usually when you get into a bad accident the chances of soiling yourself right before it happens is high.

You know, they never mention that on the hospital shows.
They also never mention that many people vomit when given CPR.

Like padraic before me, this is something I never knew. I learned something on the internet today!
Oh, and Min: I am actually wearing underwear very similar to that as I type this. Want a picture?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
