What the fuck is going on? I've had MSNBC on in the background pretty much all day like I usually do on my days' off, and it seems like every other time I look up somebody has a giant black splotch on their forehead. Anyone know what the fuck this is about?
What the fuck is going on? I've had MSNBC on in the background pretty much all day like I usually do on my days' off...
Ash Wednesday.
Oh hey, people normally can't see that mark, you've got a TV with the same glass as those specs from They Live

Catholics you uneducated retard.
Christians.
Google the bitch. Damn.
I heard this guy is offering like 5k a month if you vote for him.
mark of the beast
So Jews
Do Americans also practice "sweeping the Ash" like they do here? I noticed I see more Americans with the spot in public as oppose to here.
Do you live in Bumfucknowhere, Arkansas? Have you interacted with other humans in those last 30 years?
c*Tholics aren't Christian
>now a thing
It's been a thing for ages, you just haven't noticed it before
Catholics arent Christian. They're pagan idolaters.
threadly reminder that america is a white anglo-saxon protestant nation
God damn I didn’t know this little chink was a catholic
We need a new pope and we need him now
Been a think for a long long time.
I forget the story and symbolism for it - but now these days with all i’ve learned, i can’t help but feel like it has something to do with the pineal gland as a sacred sense. Also the reason for the bindi red dot that indians use
Ash Wednesday. You got to give something up for 40 days until Easter user.
It always was a thing, you just happened to pay attention to the news on this particular Ash Wednesday.
holy fuck this board is full of stupid dumbfuck white trash
>catholic
holy shit. we literally had an entire irish-italian race war over this. catholics aren't americans, chinks aren't catholics, and catholics aren't christians.
>Bumfucknowhere, Arkansas
Aren't those are the places where Christianity is thriving? Kind of weird to see it on a left leaning news channel.
Why is it smudged? Did the priest fucked up the 666?
So, jews.
yeah, catholic here, Jews pretty much take the blame of everything we do.
Call it liberating.
the absolute state of this shit hole
nothing is as obnoxious as when christians throw their religion in everyones faces. its like separation of church and state isn't even a thing anymore.
Wtf is that, i truly feel in the twilight zone, never heard of that..
>Weird redpill feeling
From ashes to ashes, a reflection on mortality as we embark on Lent.
Ash Wednesday is a tradition as old as crucifixing atheists...
What exactly are the differences between a Christian and a Catholic? Are Christians specifically following Christ, vs Catholics following the Pope?
Are there any other major differences to a religious brainlet like me?
>never heard of that..
The current state of Urugay education and culture...
those are called "evangelicals" and they're as bad as catholics, jews, and others
Clean the grease off your TV
Its the day our devilish political leaders feign a moral compass and put ash on their forward because the bible told them to do it.
This is all right after they legalize baby murder of course.
can someone explain this asterix meme to me?
Here's a picture
It's ash Wednesday you fucking heathen.
it's dumb cuckstain shabbos goy shit
Fake news pundits who will say anything if they are paid to on both sides of the political fence are making sure that you the viewer know they are Christian and just like you! So that you will vote for their flavor of Israel first candidates, you dumb fuck.
kooky superstitious garbage
It's Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
>mfw absentmindedly ate bacon crumble with my fires
I'm so fucking retarded.
Shit, beat me to it.
>t. poltard who never leaves his mommys basement
>fires
fries* of course
Those are the places where (((Joel Osteen))) and the Dingbat Duggars thrive. Protestants are a stain upon this country.
>MSNBC
>Anyone know what the fuck this is about?
remember this the next time christians say islam is crazy
Haha your going to hell
I don't understand why non-Catholics are doing this. Kind of weird.
It's edgy shit protestants like to say about the older Christian traditions. People who legitimately believe in and worship the holy trinity are not people who believe in and worship the holy trinity. Fancy that.
It's not real Christianity unless it's horrendously fragmented and scattered among 100-member churches with a nihilistic "do what the fuck ever it doesn't matter" mentality, apparently.
I never even seen it in movies for fuck sake. Honestly, I heard more about African religions that ash wednesday.
>Mfw
Vermont? Only heathens and fake Lutherans?
evangelicals aren't protestants
why are you people so retarded? there are exactly seven religious denominations in america, all of them protestant, 3 for rich people and 4 for poor people.
everyone else is either not american or not civilized
I never heard of this shit. I grew up in a place where little boys don't get molested.
op is a clone
just activated today
I've never seen this shit on national television.
I fucking hate you Nu/pol/ teens.
Fuck off back to /b/.
>Are there any other major differences to a religious brainlet like me?
The roman catholic church is the one true universal church, founded by Christ himself as described on Mathew 16:18 and the cultural heir of the Roman empire.
Eastern Orthodox is more true to its roots in its traditions (i'll give them that), but we are the real deal.
Any church in communion with the catholic church are also the real deal.
The following graph should clear things out.
It is the catholics way of remembering the hollowcaust.
Catholics believe that a man can represent god on earth, and that a man in a box can forgive you of your sins. Catholics are into idolatry and break the 10 commandments right off the back. They have made the lord god into a graven image with their statues and crucifixes. Their churches are an example of their vanity. You also be loyal to the Vatican if you are Roman Catholic. No where in the Bible does it mention anything about the stupid Vatican and a homosexual cult of popes, bishops, and cardinals.
Based protestants are humbled and can go directly to god. We also dont need big fancy churches and a government type organized religion of hierarchy.
I’m a catholic and it’s always been a thing but I’ve been seeing it more and more in public. Like I’m pretty sure ppl are now trying to leave it on their forehead and go out in public because it’s “distinguishing” and as we all know ppl are obsessed with attention nowadays...
Catholicism is a very old religion that pretends to be Christian, look up Dogon and the fish-head hats.
Checked and kek'd
>not part of the anglican communion
it's almost like you believe a magical wisp of colored smoke in rome is a divine signal and not a political machination of power-hungry pedophiles
No one cares about your imaginary friend.
Hail Satan.
Pretty sure the bible said nothing about smearing ash on your forehead. This is catholicism an apostate religion. I am not sure about lent, I actually meant to look it up, but knowing catholics it is also not biblical.
Cahtolic churches dont even care about god. Being catholic is all about status in the community, and being a total degenerate. They dont follow God's plan at all.
based
Its to know who diddle the town kid already so that there's no double dipping
Yeah okay English teacher
Yeah that's an eternity of hellish torture for you, bud.
Because he loves you, of course.
Nice try rabbi
You're right. I'd say it's more of a counterfeit religion. The Roman emperor Constantine promoted judeo christianity a lot until he organized his own version of christianity into what we know is Catholicism. It is ogranized like a government. It's blasphemy and satanic.
Mother spit will take that smudge right off.
I was asking about the * symbol
This is the average Jow Forums tard hurr durr its da joos nigger.
Look at this POS and laugh.
The Vatican and the Kikes are ruling this world in tandem.
It's an uneasy alliance, akin to two competing crime families jockeying for power.
>making sure that you the viewer know they are Christian and just like you
But I literally didn't know what it meant. The first time I saw it come up I was like, "why isn't the interviewer or anyone on the crew telling this guy that his pen exploded and he rubbed his forehead with an ink covered hand?" It just seemed really unprofessional, and seems just as unprofessional now.
Catholics back at it again with their heathen cult nonsense.
kek christcucks BTFO'd
>there are exactly seven religious denominations in america, all of them protestant, 3 for rich people and 4 for poor people.
And they are........?
You satanists literally pray to Saints. You call priests Father even though Jesus specifically tells you not to, your services are idol worship, and you beatify your popes as if they arent sinner garbage kid fuckers. The Gospel has nothing to do with your bureaucratic pagan governance system.
This user speaks the truth.
Catholics make up stupid shit like Carnival and Mardi Gras. Sin now, repent later hur dur. Confirmation hur durrrr dont u want to marry in catholic church n b buried in cemetery? Lent is fucking stupid. The Bible says to fast, but it doesn't say anything about making up stupid holidays to fast.
Jesus dude. I hope you’re larping

>it's almost like you believe a magical wisp of colored smoke in rome is a divine signal and not a political machination of power-hungry pedophiles
being so devoid of basic knowledge... i pity your ignorance.
Also, lol on the pedo comment, never heard that before. Ever.
Fuck you
So you know how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares? Its kinda like that with Catholics being squares.
Catholics consider themselves the OGs of Christianity and trace their "lineage" 2000 years back to Jesus. Everyone else does too, but split off from eachother at different times due to politics, corruption, and differences in theological opinion. Theres sometimes even bigger differences between two non-catholic sects than with the catholics, but because theyre the biggest its what everyone compares to.
>Dogon
>Cult of the Fish
Look it up.
