Hey Sup Forums
Visiting the U.S. for the first time with my family (We're from Saudi Arabia).
We're going out for breakfast and my daughter asked me why all these people had "cult marks" on their heads. I realized she was talking about the black crosses a bunch of people had.
I hear it's some catholic thing, and they aren't popular here in the U.S. I wanted to ask how Sup Forums feels about Catholics. A lot of people talk about them back home. Do they really believe sperm are sacred?

Not only catholics. Also fuck off.
>it puts the towel on its head.
Better than black chalk.
There are crazies in every country. Best to just ignore them.
It's ash
These are Crusaders ready to Deus Vult in a moments notice. Return to your Godless land of sand.
>Catholics aren't popular here
That's news to me. Nice b8 m8 8/8. Made me reply.
America is way more godless than us.
Today is Ash Wednesday.
It marks the first day of Lent, a period of 6 weeks before Easter Sunday. It is in remembrance of Christ resisting the temptations of Satan for 40 days in the desert.
Catholics are famous for this period of fasting and repentance, but there are a few other Christian sects that follow it including the Orthodox Church and the Anabaptists,
The ashes themselves are palm ashes, which also invokes the bible verse Genesis 3:19: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
How many be-headings did you see last week in the bazaar?
How many failed lethal injections did you watch on reality TV last week?
Ashes of muslims we've killed and burned alongside pig carcasses.
Been too busy eating bacon
I've never seen a catholic with this on their head, but Catholicism is very ritualistic similar to how Muslims must pray to mecca several times a day for no reason.
>no reason
It's to recharge that space age battery in the cube!
hope your daughter gets hit by a car
lmao thats fuckin retarded
From ash you came to ash you will return.
It's a mark of the hypocrites that only gonto church once a year, these degenerates have been drinking for 4 days straight and now it's time to (((settle down))) and accept jesus once and for all. Until next sunday that is
>cult marks
Brave thing to say considering your religion began as a catholic approved cult
I have never understood why Christians don't respect the Kaaba.
It's literally the site of the very first temple to God in history. It's even mentioned in your bible.
There's not really a good English word for what she said. Maybe "heresy" is better than "cult"
"Pagan" maybe?
...
>imagine not being catholic
Gtfo and take the rest of your death cultists with you.
Muhammed, be he ever covered in the shit of lepers, was a blood thirsty, lying, hypocritical, pedophile warlord that started the world's most pervasive death cult.
Please drop your shit covered religion or kill yourself.
Or just stay in your majority death cultists countries where at least you belong.
Do not respond because muslims are only capable of speaking lies.
Remember to say this to every muslim you meet.
Don't be a coward.
No, it's not a hate crime.
Christfags get shit on like this all the time.
There is no evidence that Abraham ever went to Saudi Arabia - what the Qur'an claims and what the evidence points to shows that the Qur'an is a load of crap - but then again we already knew that.
It's ash. It's a tradition signifying start of the fast.
There's a difference between respect and worship. Mecca is a tourist attraction like the Vatican. There's nothing holy about either one.
Have lived here all my life, but in the south. You don't see this degenerate face painting shit down there.
Reminder:
Catholics aren't Christian.
I'm a catholic, didn't get my ashes this morning. Tell your little slave daughter that those cult markings are more godly than her shitty wrapping that her and her cunt mother have to wear to appease you desert monkey fucks.
I'm a Catholic and we don't do that here. Seems more like a Yank thing.
>It's ash
Same as with Ægishjalmur actually, text here is wrong
Never heard of this before
Do you actually see alot of people having these in the US now?
Looks pretty cool.
This
...
>believe sperm are sacred?
Shit tier trolling lets watch the video instead.
youtube.com
And the answer is yes you heathen.
issa knife
Its location is bullshit. No one knows where it was and the Muslims put it there just so they could have a holy place that wasnt Jewish or Christian first.
most of these "christian" pukes are the ones pushing the hardest for globalism and open borders, so they can stop putting ash on their heads and start getting fucking branded for all i care
No one watches the injections but some government witnesses and possibly the victims of the perps crimes.
Also maybe a reporter so the public can have a witness.
they are the ashes of burnt palm leaves....its palm sunday i think? its to do with the bible and jesus
The Amish would probably get along with Sand People. Similar lifestyles desu
First off, assalamu alaykum, user.
Secondly, a lot of Christians (well those who only go on big holidays) and Catholics do that whole "ashes on forehead" thing where they make a cross out of "ashes" but who knows what it really is.
Now I'm no theologian but I believe it signifies something in the Bible around Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year's Palm Sunday, and placing them on the heads of participants to the accompaniment of the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return".
notice how its ok to mock a little spot of ash once a year but make fun of a red magic marker dot on ur forhead or a stupid yahmika and u da raciphobic
Speaking of which, what is Sup Forums giving up for Lent?
I'm trying to figure out what to actually give up entirely for Lent. Socrates said to give up animal products entirely in some places until mid-afternoon or evening.
Not really. I've been to Amish Country many times. They're pretty bold people, they don't take any shit, but they're not pussies like the Muslims
No, today is Ash Wednesday
>spotted the edgy teenager with no purpose in life
They wish they were though.
Bunch of kid fuckers.
You sure you're a Catholic?
> pouring ash on head > signifying start of the fast
That would be blasphemy.
Ash Wednesday.
> “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
Its a giant black rock worshipped by heretics and pagans. Why are we even arguing with you?
Ashes on foreheads are "cult" meanwhile in your country your own mother cant drive to the store, owning any religious icon is a felony, and visiting Mecca is 250 lashes for a non-Muslim.
Ya'all need nuclear fire.
>Inb4 mudshit moonbat justification for all of it.
I feel like giving up porn and fapping is cheating because I shouldn't be doing that anyways, but since I haven't done well on it so far maybe that should be it.
protestant faggot
Heretic.
>(We're from Saudi Arabia)
Stay there.
What`s the point then?
This have to be deterrent for crimes. This must be widely broadcasted with mandatory viewing to every mentally abled person or not done at all.
This. Catholics can suck my dick, fucking masonic satanists the lot of them.
It's called ash-wednesday. it marks the start of the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert before the holy week.
> I wanted to ask how Sup Forums feels about Catholics.
Personally I like them better than muds
