Is there a grain of truth to the incense thing? Because I’ve been burning some and it does chill me right out haha

"Perhaps Marx wasn’t too wrong when he called religion the opium of the people" Lmao, very good

Yeah, psychoactive substances do be like that sometimes 😁

I bet they started typing "Monster" but had a pun flash of genius.

What does it mean then when it seriously nauseates you and without fail makes you get rid of your last meal? (I ~~got to~~'ve had to sit out all family funerals because Catholics insist on fumigating everyone.)

Maybe you're a vampire! Can't go jna church, sensitive to holy mists. What's your relationship like with Garlic?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Straight to hell, unbeliever!

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

I half suspected. Well, gotta find the nearest devil's sacrament, I suppose.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Means you are sensitive to fragrances.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

And obviously in league with the devil.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I feel like the devil would be soaked in perfumes. How else would he keep from smelling like an abattoir or a BBQ pit?

[-] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago

Abattoir + firepit = BBQ smell?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Not usually though. It's just frankincense specifically. I can barely smell any incense sticks, forget about scented candles.

That's hardly news, is it?

It is if you are looking for a way to rationalize your weed addiction, I guess.

[-] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

So.. What other herbs can you suggest burning? I have a few in my garden.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Catnip? 🤷🏻

[-] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

Umm do your churches burn incense at mass? Here it's usually for funerals and other special occasions
