I was thinking of something completely different, but yeah ……. Punk bands
A bunch of dudes, dressed like nuns and singing fucked up lyrics
Boom Boom Boom Boom, I want you in my (church) room. Let’s spend the night together from now on till 💥 - chipz
If you think you have a choice\ No you don't\ It's not love it's dependence to a lie that told yourself\ That I could be a better man\ But I'll just take what you'll give,\ And you'll give me everything
Oh wow wow
Boom Boom Boom
Get on my bed, the night is young\ And I'll take you till you can't walk\ You know we don't have to talk\ What we do here just can't be wrong
I see you have never heard punk
Depend on the way he sings it and the instrumentals
I've seen that already live but can't recall the name of the band. Must have been between 2006 and 2012 but that time is quite the blur to me.
Seggs ?
Run The Rosary
catholic ninja suicide bombers
What a fun day!
Is it racist to say that sounds better in Arabic??
Nuns with guns?
Like a nun with a gun I'm wonderful fun
Or a card game
I like boombastic nunnery
Sister Boombastic, truly fantastic...
Bad Habits better be their first album/single.
ETA: I know The Monks already did this in 1979 - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A8N1fReIJx8
But randomly exploding jihadists hits a bit too close to home.
Also a new mob from fromsoftware
Or a movie
Shhhh
there is an "Exploding Cats" card game but this could but I'd really like an Exploding Nuns card game.
I love exploding kittens
My friend love it. I don’t understand why. But I love Exploding things so I play it with him.
I love exploding kittens. Also zombie kittens. And mantis (made by the same company but not similar to exploding kittens)
Very few nuns wear the full habit anymore. It is usually reserved for special occasions. Nuns go to school for several years before they voluntarily take vows and the habit. Even once they take the vows they can leave.
Also nuns can drive.
And fly
Well, one did.
I thought nun did?
They fly now?
And being a nun is actually a choice, and the habit is not there to stop men from getting “tempted”.
And other catholic women are not whipped for not wearing a habit, other than that totally the same
lol, great comment here
And there's no Absher app to control what women do.
Not the ones that borrowed the convent car in my home town. I swear they were all blind.
Nuns also choose to become nuns. That is probably the biggest difference here. Its a job.
"Why do people accept manual labor but condone slavery?"
Besides all that, no one is "offended" by the hijab itself, we're offended because women get punished and sometimes killed for refusing to wear it.
Did you know that Nuns aren’t required to bath.
They do it out of habit.
That is a very bad / dad joke
I don’t get it?
The clothing of a nun is called a habit.
It depends order and the individual Sister. My friend’s aunt still wears her habit although it’s not required by her order anymore. She’s older and it’s been part of her life for so long, she chooses to keep it.
Some more traditional orders still have them also.
True. I was simply pointing out that there is a significant difference between the two situations. Ask your friend’s aunt how many chances she had to change her mind between when she started training and took her final vows. No one is forcing a woman to wear a nun’s habit
Certainly. The novitiate process takes years. And they take temporary vows before permanent, final ones.
They also showed the least restrictive and repressive hijab.
And one of the most restrictive habits.
Because no one is forcing all the women in their country to be catholic nuns maybe?
That would be bad for procreation
Could you imagine seeing throngs of nuns walking round the street. Barely seen any ever.
Is a throng of nuns like a school of fish thing?
Actually there is Convent, Murmur, Flap, Pray (of nuns)
I always thought they were a gaggle like geese
But they will swear up and down that it's a choice to where that hijab. So they'll try to tell you that it really is the same thing even though they force every woman to wear it
And yet we see so many places where it wasn’t mandatory and few wore it… then the fundamentalists took over.
Here's a thread discussing mandatory covering, and a particular comment that is fascinating to me in a creepy way.
https://old.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/1dbvekx/convince_me_to_wear_hijab/l7tzqyb/
Plenty of places where it's not forced to wear hijab but they do anyway. My ex in Malaysia is Muslim, she wore hijab by choice but her sisters chose not to.
The way Islamic law is applied varies drastically country to country and is mostly cultural. Some Islamic countries are much more strict with Sharia law than others.
That being said, in north America we absolutely have Christian sects that force women to cover their heads such as some mennonite, hutterite, and Amish groups.
Trying to distinguish Christianity vs islam based on whether or not they force women to dress a certain way is a losing battle my friend.
Even if it isn't required, women often still wear it because of social/family pressure.
They don't understand social pressure, no point in arguing it. People who support this clothing will say anything to make it sound ok. But the moment you think critically it falls apart. Which they refuse to do
Lol tell me you know nothing about Islam without telling me you know nothing about Islam. Moron. Wearing a hijab is not a "choice". If you don't wear a hijab, you are not Muslim.
In some countries it is indeed choice, will you wear hijab or not. Of course it's suggested, because it makes you "good muslim". Not every muslim woman wear it.
Those sects are a minority and even then the requirement is a head covering not something like a habit. In many of them the men also wear hats.
He big difference is even with those sects you can leave them without fear of being killed
The question is why a hijab (commonly compulsory or coerced) is offensive vs why women volunteering to wear a head covering isn’t.
Yes, we know it varies. That isn’t a counterpoint. It just shows that this villainy varies in its intensity.
A gnat farting vs a hurricane. There is no comparison in scale, and there aren’t Christian nations that make this law. This also is not a counterpoint.
No. It’s the easiest of battles. It doesn’t even require a battle - just common sense and google. Either way, that’s not the battle. The battle is compulsion vs volunteering.
They don't get beaten if they remove it.
Or raped and murdered by the “Morality” police.
Quran 4:34 says it is moral to beat women. Commanded even.
Or probably stoned to death over something stupid.
the bible contains pedophilia and incest. most Christians aren't pedophiles or incestuous.
you can do this with every holy book, because times change and religions don't move with the times.
The Bible encourages beating women as well.
The common problem is religion ngl
Out of curiosity, do you have a verse that explicitly says you should beat your wife?
Does it encourage it? Or does it simply say that it has happened before? Because people like you seem to often confuse depiction with endorsement.
And how should that beating be done? With a whip or a by hand?
Funny story. Muslims will tell you it is lightly or with a toothbrush aka miswak. Lightly isn’t found anywhere, they just add it to the English translations because they know how bad the Quran sounds. But “Allah” didn’t say either in the original Arabic. Aisha, the child bride of Muhammad records Muslim men beating their wives green.
Exactly. When I read the Quran with English translation I'm amazed by the intentional misleading translation Muslims have done to hide the real stuff.
It’s implied that it’s a punishment, actually an escalation of punishment. That makes no sense with the tap with a toothbrush apologetic.
Green? What does that mean?
Allah means God in Arabic lol
In that case fuck god.
Stone
Does it really matter?
Maybe this will help
https://www.brandeis.edu/projects/fse/muslim/translation.html
Because nobody will beat up, arrest or throw acid in the face of the nun when she changes clothes.
Guy says nuns don’t explode? We aren’t watching the same porn…
Fight those that keep woman as things.
First one is out of choice... It's a dress code for only a selected few who choose that path... Second one is forced upon everyone regardless you agree with it or not... And there are repercussions (in most cases, extreme) if you don't comply...
Dark humor right there
based on real events
[Cinema voice] In a world, where nuns explode randomly.
Talk about a comment you can hear
You should look up what nuns do when they get put in charge of laundries.
Ones a choice, the other isn't
Lol yup, one is apart of the uniform for a literal profession. And the other one is forced upon women, even if they aren’t Muslim they’re forced to wear them in many Muslim counties. And they can be criticized at HOW they wear them, with many men acting like the voice of reason and if they think a woman is wearing it wrong, they’ll make a big deal out of it.
The hijabs exist out of insecurity from the men who look at women like the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden, that women are obviously tempting /testing their desires and sexual appetite and need to be covered up to lessen that desire
Sometimes it’s a headpiece like that, sometimes it’s A full body outfit that covers the entire woman, except the eyes, heck there are many that cover the eyes too lol!!
I lived in Afghanistan for half a year, as an American civilian doing something-or-other. Even in Kabul, it was as much as an Afghan woman's life was worth to venture out into the streets without the hijab; at a minimum she'd be confined until the men of her family could be summoned and given holy hell for letting this woman of their family be so immoral. In theory foreign women (western) in Kabul for nonprofits or representing their home government could dispense with Hijab. I never saw one who dared.
That's the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan even before the Students (Taliban; at the very beginning a movement of islamic theology students) took the country back over. In the villages, certainly in the provinces dominated by the Pashtun ethnic group (the largest, most warlike, and most intransigent group in the whole mess), it's still a woman only leaves her house twice: to go from her father's house to her husband's family house, and then to be taken from there one day and buried.
God, do i hate the hijab! I call it the Scarf of Shame; women and girls are shamed, and held back, by a lot of super-pious brutes, their male relatives.
Yep
Theocracies are bad.
If you go to Catholic school they do!
I went to 12 years of Catholic school. To be fair the students could usually lite those fuses without much effort.
Which is one of the many reasons most people oppose Catholic schools. That and the other issues they have with children in their care.
Most people oppose Catholic Schools? Bullshit. Facts, bro, give the facts. WTF dumbass.
In my defense it is hard to keep straight all the atrocities the Catholics have done. I think I was mistaking genociding native populations in their adoptions centers. Guess that isn’t technically their schools, but given what they do it isn’t that different. Children in danger.
Well one is by choice the other is by force due to laws made by men who hate women in the name of religion
Nuns choose to be nuns Most Women in Islam didn't choose to be there
If you had a lot of 12 year old girls coming to school dressed as nuns because their christian parents forced them to then it would get the same scrutiny.
Nuns don't get spit on, slapped, get their hairs pulled or thrown into prison & die if they don't wear their habits.
Just sayin' ...
Nuns don't randomly explode - by fallout boy
That depends on whether they had the chalupa supreme or not
Nuns aren’t forced and can choose to leave.
People do judge Catholic nuns though
The first one is making a Conscious decision willingly to wear the attire , whereas the second one more than likely is being forced to wear it.
Mahsa Amini
As an Iranian thank you
As a muslim myself , i can confirm we put a pound of c4 in every muslim women’s hijab so when we brainwash them to bomb other people they can blame hijab for it
And all this time I thought it was to weigh down the niqab's veil so they didn't do a Marilyn Monroe and flash their chins to inflame the menfolk.
I'm not offended by women wearing hijabs. But I am offended by cultures and laws that force women to wear them, or forbid them to wear them.
Fact check- mostly true
They clearly never went to Catholic school…
Lol, good one
That was funny.
Nina do have rulers though,,,
In Christian dominated societies, it’s voluntary. In Islamic dominated societies, it’s mandatory. Neither should be judged, especially in western countries when it is a personal choice either way.
“Personal choice”
Sounds like slavery with more steps
Oo la la
It's not really much of a personal choice when you're forcefully indoctrinated from the second you're born and threatened with eternal unbearable suffering if you don't comply.
Both is mandatory. It’s just that most Christians are better in modern times, while most islamists still act like it’s 1100
Besides Cromwell's commonwealth no Protestant nation has ever forced all the citizens to live exactly as they do in their religion
Edit: Catholics ALWAYS do (at least their bishops) the thing is that they can't cut you into to now, so its more an academic thing.
Its kinda funny because in 1100, the Islamic world was in a golden age and making tons of advances in science, mathematics, medicine, etc while Europe was in a backwards dark age.
See: people like Ibn Rushd, the "Father of Rationalism"
Voluntary combustion Vs mandatory combustion. Tough choice
I always wonder if it's really personal choice though.. surely even in the west there is a lot of social pressure
In only two muslim countries its mandatory, my country is a muslim country (Sudan) and I live in a muslim society and I have plenty of relatives who don't wear Hijab and no one is barbarcally stonning them to death as the media is brainwashing you to believe
It's all about choice.
No one is ever compelled to become a nun. The habit is always donned as a matter of choice. Girls raised in convents by nuns were not required to become nuns, on penalty of death.
Compare that to life under Sharia law. Where the hijab is mandatory for women. And women can be arrested and beaten to death for showing their hair.
It isn't hard to see why people are more accepting of one than the other.
Last I checked, Nuns don’t fly large aircraft into buildings

I'd say that isis is taking notes right now.
The first one is by choice
I'd rather be hit on the hand by a ruler than on the neck with a sword, j/s.
The first is a choice, the second is a law...
People judge the unhinged and oppressive tradition/law, not the woman suffering under it.
And before some troglodyte starts defending this shit, go talk to Iranian women on the topic
Because MEN are behind the hijab. Nuns chose to wear a habit back in the day.
Who's offended by either of these?
Based on my grandparent’s experience of nuns in school, randomly exploding nuns would have been initially frightening but ultimately a welcome reprieve.
The first one made a choice, and can abandon that choice at anytime.. The second one had the choice made for them, is told that it is their choice, and vehemently defends the ability to take that choice from others, while also being under threat of death and persecution should they ever decide to abandon that 'choice.'
The major difference is that christians already surrendered and don't try to become a political power anywhere. They know they lost worldly power, don't secretly support terrorism and don't try to overthrow liberal goverments...
A nun chose to wear a habit, it can't be assumed a woman in a hijab chose it.
Well did the nun eat a chalupa supreme in this scenario?
Lots of folks here did not pay attention in history class about missionaries long long ago .
One is a symbol of subservience to a “higher power”, the other is a symbol of subservience to a “man”.
Wearing a habit is a choice by the wearer to signify that they are “wed to [a] god”, and not married to man.
Wearing a burka is NOT typically a choice (unless you live in an part of the world not controlled by Muslim men) and it is to show your obedience and lower status to other Muslim men, specifically.
This is how I view it.
As a free agnostic in North America, seeing a female wearing a burka makes me have the emotion to want to “go save her”, as I see those woman as being under the control of a man that is using threats of violence to control them for his own personal benefit.
I have never viewed a burka as a choice that the woman could choose to independently make of her own accord — it is always a choice made for her, and if she chose not to wear it, there would be physical repercussions to her individual decision — those repercussions would be at the hands of other humans, not some “god”.
The habit, on the other hand, is a free choice, and the woman may choose to leave at any time without fear of physical repercussions. And “god” still loves the woman after. And (for the most part) everyone around them will be supportive of their decision.
Maybe go to a catholic school??
Were you forced to go to a catholic school by the government and forced to dress like a nun everywhere you went or be beaten?
Neither Muslim women. They are not allowed to do that.
One is voluntary
What did nuns do during the holy wars?
Can we get some funny memes? I know it’s a lot to ask… in a sub called Funnymemes…
They do on easter
Dayummmmm
Didn’t that series star Sally Field, the Exploding Nun? She attacked arms manufacturers and arms dealers and criminals and bad people? Also had a golden lasso thing.
When was the last time you saw a nun? I was raised Catholic back, and I haven't seen a nun since 1974.
But they do break into nuclear missile silos and spray paint all over it
I don’t know about that, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year it’s just not really widely reported
"Ninja catholic suicide bombers...What a fun day"
Cause of everything that happens in this world
That's not true, they make me burst.
Why would a god even care? It's ridiculous AF. It made us with hair, but wants it covered for? Reasons, I guess.
Also most nuns choose to be nuns.
The catch is that nuns only explode on purpose … right ? RIGHT?
Cause the first one isnt weared in everyday life and has no political meaning. Imho
Because NUNS that’s their JOB they chose to devote their life to God But normal Muslim women do it Even as young as the age of 5
Nuns generally devote themselves to God on a voluntary basis: it’s not something that’s expected from puberty.
Just to throw it out there, muslim women don't have rulers.
Pretty sure nuns aren't forced to wear habits under threat of death or violence from male family members. Also, most nuns I've met wore normal clothing.
Also, nuns do so voluntarily, do not have to wear head coverings anymore and many "choose" not to. The choice is the difference.
Obviously never met Sister Margaret at Christ the Redeemer Elementary School
yeah, it's usually priests that explode. inside little boys
Don't know about others but I sure as shit judge the first one too. Child abuse, Magdalene laundries etc.
Randomly exploding nuns would be a great name for a punk band
