Speakeasy forum: FOX, 3 Stooges, Catholic League and a Nunkini

I read in that same article;

"And as far as the nun attire, I think we did the audience a favor by letting Kate Upton wear the nun-kini rather than (co-star) Larry David - it could have gone either way. We invite you to see the movie and decide for yourselves."

"It could have gone either way"... LOL

Mark

instead of black costume???? Making fun of nuns is no different, and the behaviour expressed isn't even stereotypical.

Must be part of some group to support them when they've been wronged?

put Catholics in the same league as the Muslims about being touchy about their religious trappings?

Diana

Don't you long for THOSE days?

Where does the separation of Religion and State end?

Religion, Birth Control ...what's next Religion and Dress code?

I didn't realize nun-kini's were actually Catholic attire for swimming in

Do you think the Catholic League doesn't realize the same thing? You should enlighten them.

I wonder if Kate (the person wearing the Nunkini) is a Catholic.

Do you think she will be excommunicated?

they aren't any longer.

I thought they hired actors...but I could be wrong.

Recall "The Flying Nun", Did you see the wings on that unit? I wonder if there was a problem with saying Nuns could fly?

As far as the so called Nunkini... bikinis don't have a headdress. The only part of the outfit that might be associated with religion is the headdress. BUT, since the person wearing it ISN'T A NUN...it's just some black and white cloth on a persons head.

Remember that TV commercial for butter where the woman says, "It's not nice to mock mother nature"?

Probably got the idea right from the Bible.

Don't mock God nor his servants.

2 Kings chapter 2:22

the saying of Elisha which he spake. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

2 Chronicles 36:16

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand. And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon. And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

Proverbs 1:22

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Galatians 6:7 -

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Jude 1:14

Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Romans 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

fundalmentalists. I love Christianity. I've always said that the only thing wrong with Christianity is Christians. I take great joy in my faith but I realize that a lot of it sounds utterly ridiculous.

Let's just take the basics. God is the top of a monotheistic faith. Then there is Jesus whos father is God and mother is a human woman. Sounds like a demi-god like Hercules. He now sits at the right hand of God. So we worship both. Now how did that happen? I'm not even going to speculate on that.

That is just one weird thing about Christianity.

I though James was putting some sort of hex on me.
