Christian Discussion Thread VII: The Christ Awakens.

[Isyrannaea]

So, I discovered the Latin hymn Dies Irae (well, I say discovered. But I've been listening to it for a while due to me listening to the animated Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack, but only recently have I actually known what it is). And it's probably the most metal Christian thing I've ever seen.

But then again, anything about the End Times is bound to be fairly metal.

But then again, again....Latin chants in general are probably pretty metal.

This exists, btw.

Am I the only one who thinks that Mary's feast day should be on Mother's day? or vice-versa? xP

With the best will in the world, I can't see non-Christians (with the possible exception of Muslims) getting too excited about that idea.

Mother's Day is a modern invention, and best to keep it theologically neutral, I think.

[Czechanada]

That would be sweet. ^^

Well, "Mother's day" in the US is a 20th century invention that was literally started by retail companies in order to sell more stuff.

So yes, you should absolutely move it to September 8th! I believe the term for this sort of thing is "baptizing a pagan holiday".

Wasn't it a woman who started Mother's Day, with the holiday being quickly appropriated by retail companies?

Perhaps we should also convert Halloween into the festival of Honorious's grimvoire, or Labour day to be the day of Job.

Heck, if we push hard enough I am certain we can fit a day for Harambe as well.

Earth Day? Who was it that has a gorilla as their mascot, the WWF?

Only the Christian movie community could hope to equal life day's crowning masterpiece, Star wars - The holiday special.

"Disney is proud to present the pinnacle of a Christian get together family experience, The Ultimate Jesus Movie."

The scene is set in ancient Israel set under the totalitarian leadership of Rome. A poor family is fleeing state-sponsored persecution and find themselves in an inn, little did they know that their actions that day would set the moral foundations of the greatest nation on earth over a millennia later and set up one of the most iconic moments in history.

Joeseph: "How can we be sure this is the son of man?"

Mary: "Watch him blow life into this clay bird . . . " ' Intense CG follows'

But beware, evil Herod plots about to bring an end to the holiday by imposing a family tax.

"We must raise funds in order to be able to pay tribute to Rome, already our army of African slaves carry Gold towards the great Emperor in Rome, damned be the representation they demand!"

Jesus: " I can call upon an army of angels to stop you at any time. . ." ' Jumps to CG cut of Jesus, riding a seraphim, followed by legions of angels crashing into the Roman army.'

'Music highlight then silence'

Peter: " . . . I . . . deny you . . . You betrayed the law!"

'Sad piano song continues'

Slave: "Already our people are in chains, would you put them under the sword for a hopeless battle?"

Mary: " We will have our freedom. . . "

Tiberius: 'Slams table in palace' Rome must be made great again! Strike down the rebels.

'Violent jumpcuts of scenes follow'

Roman soldier: " Your diciples have all fled, Rome reigns supreme, and now you are hours away from death. For what did you strive? What has all this accomplished, but the sufferings of your own?"

Jesus: " 'Breathes heavily' " . . . FREEEEEDOOOOOM!"

'Intense music continues'

Is it because of the Catholic-ness, or because the band evidently doesn't quite grasp the difference between Heaven and Valhalla?

That and the chance that they either make something as epic about say Cromwell, or the Orange army, is decidedly small.

At least we have Carolus Rex.

IMHO every day should be Mother's Day, and Father's Day too! Also make every day Son's Day and Daughter's Day!. Heck, why not make it Grandma and Grandpa Day too!

Let's make every day Family Day!

You made me really laugh, someone has to hire you for scriptwriter, director and producer 3-in-1 quick!

Wasn't it a woman who started Mother's Day, with the holiday being quickly appropriated by retail companies?

For more information, I read that the Mother's Day celebration today had somewhat Christian Protestant roots. The first Mother's Day in the US established by Anna Jarvis was celebrated at a service in a Methodist church.

In essence, it's not much different with the secularization of holidays in the modern world. Christmas and Easter are long stripped of their Christian roots and purpose in the Western world outside of the Church.
