Ash Wednesday Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Why don't people get uppity about hip hop? Cake? tacos, so very tasty and good for you,? I don't think dUSt has ever had a big picture of Jesus in the top graphic, not that I recall since first coming here in 2001-2002. I swear, at times like this when people get uppity about the stupidest things in the name of religious sentiment, it really turns me off to a lot of so-called "piety" and makes me a lot LESS interested and zealous about the faith. Just being honest. [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' post='1354784' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:56 AM']this is a CATHOLIC forum!!! not a chuck norris forum[/quote] And who determines the standards of what makes a forum "Catholic"? You? dUSt runs the show and at the end of the day HE makes the final decisions and decides what phatmass is about, be it faith, humor and all of it. If people just want Catholicity without any pop culture references, jokes or humor, then they should just find another forum. We like to have a little fun around here. Having fun doesn't mean putting God on the back burner. Edited August 10, 2007 by Ash Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the banner for the website has a rosary off to the side as the only thing thats clearly Catholic, and a giant picture of Chuck Norris in color near center? Stuff is funny but there's also a point of too far. But what do I know? Apparently to think like that is just being "uppity" and over-pious. I wasn't loudly complaining, starting threads, etc. Just giving some support to Deus_te_Amat's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 When did this become a Catholic site? I've been trying to make this into an unofficial Green Bay Packer bowling team fan site for like 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people are going to be so dumb as to think that phatmass isn't a Catholic website. At least I hope people aren't that dumb. If they are, well, it's just as well they didn't stick around! Edited August 10, 2007 by Ash Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Okay. I'll try and express how I feel through replying to various posts... [quote name='Old_Joe' post='1354512' date='Aug 9 2007, 10:19 PM']Chuck norris doesn't sleep he waits.[/quote] The Pope doesn't wait, he prays. [color="red"] 'MIkolbe' says: is this a baptist chat board now? [/color] Hehe... I guess... even though this particular baptist does roundhouse kick the face of abortion, he only gets two brownie points. [quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1354590' date='Aug 9 2007, 10:49 PM']How come some people are in a "roundhouse kicked to the face" group?[/quote] Haven't you been paying attention? [quote name='Pontifex' post='1354699' date='Aug 9 2007, 11:56 PM']I just clicked on phatmass and saw Chuck Norris. I thought maybe it was the spicey tofu food I ate tonight but after seeing the thread I was okay. On a serious note: Let's not be typical. Let us remember our focus. Let us also think about the impression that this leaves on someone who just looked at www.phatmass.com for the first time. later goof balls, fr.[/quote] Hehe, Fr Pontifex, that was a great post. I agree... let's try not to lose our place here people. Show some love, don't hate the playa, just the game type deal... yeah.... [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' post='1354707' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:03 AM']i never said i didnt like Chuck norris i'm getting persecuted because i say that Jesus Christ can pwn Norris anyday i'm proud to be a martyr for the faith[/quote] Yeah me too, but I may have made a mention that Chuck wasn't the superb best, cause I can name a couple better. Lets start with 1: Jesus, 2: Pope John Paul II, 3: Pope Benedict XVI 4:Fr Armoth (roundhouse kicking the face of demons for many years).... [quote name='Nadezhda' post='1354722' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:17 AM']I didn't diss the Chuck either. See you later.[/quote] Yeah! Now this smells of elderberries! Nad has been pretty awesome around here. Just cause she was kind enough to help little Ponti... doesn't mean she's anti-Chuck. Awwe... I guess she's taking a vacation too... [quote name='Veritas' post='1354729' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:22 AM']+ This is what I love about phatmass; some good clean fun.[/quote] Heh... lets bring back the old April geniuses jokes... but yeah.. so will dUSt get bored of this by the end of the week? Month? Year? Decade? [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1354735' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:24 AM']Yeah, dUSt had to watch his back to Chuck doesn't roundhouse HIM in the face. I totally think thats the right attitude. I think its totally funny. I'd still think it was funny if I got tagged.[/quote] TAG HER!!! [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' post='1354794' date='Aug 10 2007, 12:59 AM']Yes, this is a Catholic phorum, but you also have to remember that this is [b]dUSt's [/b]phorum. He pays the bills around here. If he wants to play a prank or avoid getting roundhouse kicked in the face thats his prerogative.[/quote] As BB KING says, (btw he's #5) dUSt is "payin' the Cost to be the boss". [quote name='Margaret Clare' post='1354834' date='Aug 10 2007, 01:28 AM']There's this funny Fr. Corapi vs. Chuck Norris parody out there .. though I can't find it anywhere online anymore .. I'm sure you guys could make up another good one though :j[/quote] I remember that one... one of his lectures on EWTN it was totally awesome... only if I can remember it... [quote name='dUSt' post='1355404' date='Aug 10 2007, 05:42 PM']When did this become a Catholic site? I've been trying to make this into an unofficial Green Bay Packer bowling team fan site for like 11 years.[/quote] That's awesome. Except you started in like 2001... Okay, overall this is how I feel... Haha! Funy job, dUSt. I'm laughing on the inside. I'm a Chuck Fan at heart, but I wouldn't go as far as making him a demigod or something. God didn't make Adam, Eve, and Chuck. He just made Adam and Eve. Oh, and I think I still have some good ol' Chuck Norris jokes somewheres. IggyJoan and me were exchanging some good ones... like "Chuck Norris' tears apparently cure cancer. Too bad he doesn't cry..." All I sorta gotta say about this now... sorta... heh...

But I guess you have to criticize Chuck to be in it? If so then never mind. I'm not going to criticize Chuck. And God DID make Adam, Eve and Chuck. Just, you know, not at the same time.
