wait so are the veggietales characters eligible to receive the Eucharist? (i have never watched the show)
No, they are not human and do not have human souls.
When I’m bored I paint arms onto VeggieTales screencaps
god dammit no now they can do too many things like jack off and hit you
BUZZFEED: Top 2 Things Vegetables Would Do If They Had Arms
I’ve never seen the show, do they not have arms??
They’re vegetables with faces and an unending faith in christ
|If they don’t have arms then crucifixion can’t be a thing
Their Jesus culture must be extremely different
What do they wear instead of crosses

there isnt a veggie christ. they believe in human christ, and now that i write that out in words that might be weirder, but whatever.
every bible story is something they are explicitly acting out in-universe, often with one of them acting as narrator, sort of like how the muppets are “actors” in-universe. you can even see in op’s edit the tiling from the countertop they all live on, and the side of the giant, human-scale computer they use. also they have never explicitly talked about the crucifiction or most of jesus’ life, even in the christmas episodes (at least, not in the old version of the show, the IP has changed hands several times and i stopped following it in like 2005 lol), because the creators thought it would be too weird to have a veggie jesus.
does this mean the veggietales are expecting to be eaten by the children they are telling bible stories to? yes. we don’t talk about that part.
Okay so they’re not in a universe populated by veggies, they are sapient veggies in our universe, talking about human Jesus who was crucified by human Romans. Okay.
And they’re Christian? Do the vegetables have souls? Do they look forward to going to heaven after they die? That sounds blasphemous. Or are souls the purview of humans only, as per real Christianity, and these sapient vegetables know that a great nothing awaits them after death, but they are motivated to save the souls of children for… some reason? Are they a form of angel, perhaps? Is that monocled asparagus an angel?
Derin, your world builder’s disease is flaring up again. If you go write a short story about this that will haunt us, it’ll probably make you feel better faster than asking these questions to the void.
I can’t right now I’m too busy writing about a bug alien making friends with an astronaut
Netflix already made a movie about that. It’s called Spaceman and in it Adam Sandler is an astronaut who makes friends with a friendly psychic alien that looks like a big scary spider.
Never compare me to Adam Sandler again or I’ll break into your house and very slightly loosen every doorknob

Question: I'm working on crafting a sacramentology and so I'm curious to know what is the requirements for something being a sacrament, and is there a system in place for potentially adding a sacrament.
(I know/think you're catholic so it's fine if you just answer it from that perspective, but if you're aware of any others I'd like to know about those as well)
I want to preface this by saying I’m not an expert; however I do love hearing the sound of my own voice.
Sacraments must have a visible and invisible reality and must be based on graces received from Jesus in the gospels. There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church.
[ID: screenshot of a tweet by Splenda Pappy @/caroline_oreo that says, "I love when I tell people that Carly Rae Jepsen is one of my favorite artists because they're all "oh you mean the girl who did Call Me Maybe?" Well yes! In the sense that Jesus is the guy who did the feeding of the five thousand. /end ID]
Sometimes I'll see an objectively funny post, but I know I can't reblog it bc inevitably like 1000 of my followers can't take the piss.

Hi, I just came across this post on this lovely app and shared it in a discord and we were wondering if it would qualify as false idolatry? Could we get your expert's point of view ?
Thank you
(love your blog)
Without knowing the specifics I can only guess. However, AI generated content in general is not allowed because it removes one from the act of creation and the right to labor.
The better question to ask is what’s the point going to a church where the sermons and lessons are not written by anyone?
that poll was for my main shitposting blog........ not this religious sideblog......... oops..... ?

What's the difference between religious sister and nun? Is it that nun is a specific order or something like that?
All nuns are sisters not all sisters are nuns.
A nun is cloistered and doesn’t leave the community. A sister can be a teacher, nurse, etc
