(23,726 posts)My favorite bible story is where Jesus installs an orange faced fascist to be POTUS to test our morals.

(13,355 posts)magazine to Sister Perpetual Agony to show her the photo of the 250 million year old dinosaur fossil. I told her that the earth can't be 6,000 years old, because dinosaurs were here over 250M years ago.
She said god was just "testing my faith", and that the fake fossil was put there by God the father, before Jesus arrived on the scene 4,000 years later. She suggested I was bordering on blasphemy. I think I ended up clapping erasers that week for testing her patience by being a burgeoning heathen.

(793 posts)Even if you didn't get the paddle, you could be traumatized by other forms of corporal punishment that was used. Believe it or not, there was a nun who kept a large jar of "worm medicine" on the bookcase in the classroom. One day an unfortunate student received the "treatment" and she upchucked it all over the floor. Swimming amongst the "worms" was my brand new faux alligator skin pencil case.
