My girlfriend and I were driving past the LA Salette shrine Friday afternoon when we noticed the parking lot was full of busses and teens carrying pillows. I was curious about what might be going on with teens,the Catholic church and pillows so we decided to go in and check it out.
We got about 3 feet into the entrance of the parking lot when we were confronted by a freakishly joyful woman wearing a name tag.
She said "Are you here with one of the groups?" I said "yes I am".
She then said "God bless you,you lucky son of a gun!" and I replied joyfully "God bless you! Praise jesus!" as I drove into the parking lot.

We drove around the large parking lot for a while with our jaws on our laps as we took in the sight of hundreds (maybe thousands) of teens as well as an assortment of hideous hateful bumperstickers on the backs of the many cars. (I don`t remember exactly what any of the stickers said,but the gist was that the worlds problems were due to us nonbelievers.)
We were then confronted by a group of Christian adults asking if we were chaperones and I said that we were not and were just visiting the shrine because we loved Jesus. I then said that Jesus died for me so paying respect at the shrine was the least I could do. I recieved several God bless you`s and was then told that i needed to move my car to the other end of the lot because they had a lot of busses coming in to drop of more kids.
We decided to leave,but as we were on the way out we passed a group of teen boys and I couldn`t resist telling them to be sure to use condoms! We laughed all the way home.

Well today the local paper had this hideous picture on the front page.

Apparently there was a huge Christian sleep over at the shrine with a bunch of Christian rock bands. The paper said that kids came from all over the East coast and Canada for this and had a few stories from a couple kids about how much they loved Jesus. They assembled two giant tent cities where the kids spent a glorious Jesus filled night (one tent city for boys and one for girls). What fun!

After reading the article I `m wondering if that woman thought I was with one of the Christian rock groups when she asked me if I was with the groups and called me a lucky son of a gun.

Can somepone please tell me why that kid in the photo has his hands in the air? I see this a lot on those Christian music TV commercials,but I don`t get what the point is.

Seeing that picture makes me feel dirty, I'm going to take a shower.

I've never seen a more obvious example of herd mentality in my life.

That is quite simple. See, the Holy Ghost is a big guy, and oddly enough he's got some big drooping mammary glands like you'd not believe. Those kids are simply copping a feel, poking and groping those things as the Holy Ghost comes before them.

Well put them on the little HJ uniforms, and lower one hand, and the picture is very familiar. Look at the exalted look on the faces. Scary. Only indoctrination can get people to behave like this.

Well, there's one more image that will cause me to wake up in cold sweats in the future.

That's like a still from Stepford Teens. The boy looks like he's on drugs.

kwigibo · 07-14-2002, 08:07 PM

shit, i know a guy who looks exactly like that, except he's not a dipshit

07-14-2002, 08:19 PM

Why, hes not on drugs. Hes on Jesus!
