oh my god

Holy Macaroni. God must be real sad (perhaps more amused than sad) to know that we man, are worshipping stranger things these days. The prefix of God is typically ‘Holy’ because God is indeed divine and good.

So am I right to assume that whatever comes after Holy is the God that one worships?
Let’s see:
Holy Cow
Holy Macaroni
Holy Shit
Holy Crap

I can understand if an animal lover or a beef lover worships the Cow.

I can also try to accept a Macaroni lover kneeling down before a packet of Macaroni asking for forgiveness and blessing.

But why would anyone revere a piece of poop, let alone asking it for salvation? Hmm...

I use to have a sergeant that threatened not to give us more than 3 chances when we made mistakes or broke some rule. To qualify his ‘3 chances’ yardstick, he often quipped, ‘Even god only forgives 3 times, so don’t expect me to forgive more than 3 times.’

Wait wait,

but since when god forgives only 3 times. The last I checked God is all forgiving as long as one is willing to receive his unconditional forgiveness. Even if you insist there is a number to it, there is a parable in the bible that says something about forgiving 7x7 times. (I hope I didn’t let my Sunday school teacher down.) Even this doesn’t amount to only forgiving 49 times as this is after all an allegory.

so, it really makes me wonder which god he worships that forgives only 3 times..
