The end is nigh!

So the crazy folks who insist that Judgement Day is May 21 have infested our neighborhood. Yesterday, I got passed by a giant, lime green bus with attached trailer, each shrink-wrapped with the cling film announcing that it was time to repent because Judgement Day was May 21. This morning, I got passed by a maroon SUV bearing the same message. This one was blasting trumpet fanfares every two or three seconds. I hope nobody in the neighborhood was still trying to sleep.

I'm told that it will happen at 6pm precisely. In each time zone. Apparently, it's going to roll its way around, so we'll get a good several hours notice to repent in. Convenient!

Hm. Repent, or watch the stormtrooper parade? Decisions...

[jethrien.livejournal.com]

Repent while you're watching the stormtrooper parade. Duh.

Our Emperor in Coruscant,
Hallowed be your troopers.
Your empire come,
Your will be done,
In space as it is on land.
Give us this day our laser rifles,
And forgive us our aim,
Improper cloning techniques.
And lead us not into redemption,
But the dark side of the force.

For the Empire, the power, and the Force are yours,
Now and forever.

Amen.

The Empire is Protestant?

Catholics say this part, just after the priest does a little chant of his own.

The Empire's Catholic. Hate to say it, but the Pope really does look like Palpatine.

Catholics definitely don't consider it part of the prayer, particuarly outside of Mass (whereas Protestants will usually say them together).

Not by itself, no. I wouldn't say it if I were praying the rosary. (Not that I pray the rosary, but you know.) But especially when I'm responding to someone else's blasphemy, then it seems appropriate. :)

Not denying the humor! :-)
