1. Somebody in another thread...

...said it was a "mantilla" and is de fucking rigeur for viewing papal corpses.

I'm surprised Pickles didn't make hers from a set of lime-green chintz curtains.

[beam me up scottie]

8. "fucking" is a french word? nt

:evilgrin:

[onager]

11. A French word? Ack!

Shit. Now I guess we'll have to say $hrub is bending us all over and freedoming us up the Cheney...

:evilgrin: right back at ya...

<edit> Whoops! </sarcasm>

I love France.

2. The mantilla is a head covering

much like the Jews cover their heads, this is an old-fashioned Catholic tradition.

[Synnical]

3. Pickles in not a roman cath-o-lick

Is Condi?

[Synnical]

4. And furthermore - what is so obscene about female head/hair?

That representatives from the US, attending, a funeral, must conceal their hair?

[onager]

5. When in Rome...

...do like a Roman!
Ave Maria, gee it's good to see ya,
Getting ecstatic and sorta dramatic and
Doing the Vatican R-a-a-a-g!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. A lot of religions do it

Muslim, Jewish, etc. Don't ask me. I haven't seen a mantilla since I was really little. None of the nuns that taught me wore habits either.

[Synnical]

7. I don't see the men covering up their hair

In fact, Jewish tradition demands they NOT cut their hair.

Please explain.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. How the hell do I know?

the only religion I know about is Catholicism because I was raised in it.

Jewish men cover their heads with yamulkes. Muslim men wear skullcaps. otherwise, google for more explanations.

[Synnical]

10. LOL

Me, either!

I don't understand religious people!. Which is why I posted this to the Atheists forum.

Hugs and kisses,
Cindy

12. You asked a question and I tried to be helpful

no need for snarkiness! :hi:

[Synnical]

13. Yeah. and you were great

Don't understand the "snarky" comment.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. Oh, I'm sorry

:-)

I thought you were being sarcastic. I'm a little jumpy these days. I think I'm spending too much time in GD! Popearama and Minutemen have worn me out!

[Synnical]

15. Kathy

I'm just trying to figure out why Jewish men and Cath-O-Lick women have to wear head gear.

And, still, wondering, what is up with those veils?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. Don't know-it must be TRADITION

ya think?

where are you from, BTW?

[Synnical]

17. I'm a slut living in Fort Lauderdale

Nice to meet ya! :-)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

18. One of my pals teaches school in Fort Lauderdale

he's originally from up here in Boston.

I'm visiting my family this weekend in FL. Can't wait for some WARM weather.

What is up with that new law 'meet force with force'? :wtf: It's like the wild west.

[Discord]

22. Hi Kathy!!!

:hi:

Your right, it is very wild westish. Gonne have some duel's come sunrise. Can't wait til their courts are filled with Repuke Rednecks in jail to determine THAT law. WOW! The judges must be sitting at home going... No way... they're gonna make me rule on THIS SHIT?!?

[Synnical]

25. What part of Florida?

It's going to be beautiful this week-end in SE Florida. Don't know about the rest of the state. Won't be cold, though.

I was in Philly the last week-end of March for the American Atheists convention - four days of chilly weather - and that alone made me long for home and warm weather.

The new law is just nuts, IMO. As someone else posted, hopefully the courts will refuse to uphold it.

19. It used to be

that women, when in the church proper, were required to cover their head for modesty's sake. Apparently, males are incapable of controlling the lust that women, with their wiles (ie, hair), would set astir. I remember my mother saying when she was a child, if she were caught up short, she'd put a tissue on and it would satisfy the folks there (that was during the 30's and 40's).

[Synnical]

24. Okay - let me see if I understand this . . .

The Holy Se has a problem with any type of birth control, including condoms - 'cause sex is for reproductive purposes only. And women are so seductive, by "virtue" of "god" making them that way, that they need to cover up their hair and bodies so men aren't tempted by their wiles.

So, what's the Cath-O-Lick stance on drugs such as Viagra?

Oh, you know what, nevermind. I'll never understand.

:puke:

21. Ask Paul

the woman hating huckster who made the religion popular with kings and emperors by telling them they could stay rich and brutal if only they professed their faith.

[JNelson6563]

20. It's from that lunatic Paul

You will note in writings atrributed to Paul, the he-man woman hater, that it was he who came up with the brilliant idea that women need to cover their heads. It's biblical. Ugh.
