Confession
I’ve never had the pleasure of going to Confession. I went to a Catholic high school, but I’m not Catholic so I sat and stewed in the filth of my own sin while my Catholic classmates emerged pure as gold from their weekly confessional. I wonder what that must be like. One would think it would be a bit awkward to basically read off a list of your sins to a stranger, even if it’s supposed to be anonymous. Indulge me as I try and get a taste of what it must like to be forgiven. You can be the priest and I’ll confess all the sins I’ve committed in the past week:
- used naughty words (“fuck,” “shit,” etc.)
- had impure thoughts about actresses, women in uniform, and random women on the internet..
- anger (road rage…the guy cut me off)
- had impure thoughts…did I mention that already”
- was lazy (sloth is a sin, right?)
- was vain (admired my own face in the mirror)
- gluttony (ate four hot dogs in one sitting, then ate an ice cream bar)
- had thoughts which were not pure.
You be the judge.

You are absolved. Just try not to fuck up again.
You’re going to hell.
…In all seriousness though, how can a human being forgive another for his/her sins? Wouldn’t that endow that human being with extraordinary/divine powers? I think that’s hogwash, and just pretty words to make a person feel better about himself. It’s really between you and the higher power. May God have mercy on your sinful, sinful soul.
i need more information. what kind of impure thoughts were these?
