How to scare the vicar

When you get married, the vicar will ask you which Bible readings you want. Tell them you want your readings from The Song of Solomon. This will make them perspire, as this is a book of erotic poetry. It is full of naughty bits but also some highly romantic bits. Give the vicar a moment to panic before you tell him which bits you want.

Enjoy.

According to the Bible, it is okay to wear your fursuit to church

It turns out, God is unfussed about how you dress or look.

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

1 Samuel 16:7

Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d’Arc), a French historical figure executed by the English for heresy in 1431, is a national heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. Joan accompanied an army during the Hundred Years War, adopting the clothing of a soldier, which ultimately provided a pretence for her conviction and execution. Whether her crossdressing and lifestyle have implications for her sexuality or gender identity is debated by modern scholars.

Joan of Arc was burned at the stake (for the heresy of being a girl wearing men’s clothing) by the English.

St. Marinos the cross dresser

Marina’s mother died when she was very young. When she was older, her father prepared to marry her off and join a monastery. Marina didn’t fancy that. She shaved her hair, joining her father as a monk, Marinos.

During the funeral prayers for Marinos, one of the monks, who was blind in one eye, reportedly received full sight again after he touched her body.

Identify their bias

Before adding an exciting new heresy to your collection, you should try to identify the bias of the one giving it to you. They may have something other than ideas they are really trying to push. You should know what that is before you jump in.

Identifying the bias of your sources is not always easy. It takes practice and leads to something some people call discernment.

I didn’t write any of these. I just found them with a quick search.
