Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 15, 2005 Which saint is the Patron Saint of Atheists? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eileen 0 Posted February 15, 2005 i can definitly look that up for you, but i would assume that the Saint would be Saint Monica. Reason is she was the mother of Saint Augustine. he was really bad when he was younger...He went from religion to religion, and slept with tons of women, and such. In fact i think he had a son...I will have to look that up...anyways, he was pretty nasty to his mom, but after tons of prayers and persuasion, she was able to get he to come back to catholism. He was so wonderful. He wrote a book about his sins called "The confessions of Augustine". You can read the book now, in fact alot of saints have books about their lives....this book shows that any atheist in the world can come back to God. Anywas....i think that saint monica would be the saint for Atheists.... Eileen "I will spend my Heaven doing good upon earth" Saint Therese @~~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted February 15, 2005 I have followed this thread ( and the one on that Lucia woman) for some time and it seems to be getting a little fraught. In a previous thread on an unrelated matter Mr Anubis (is that an acceptable form of address for a deity?) reminded us of the comedian who referred to religion as having an imaginary friend. I thought it was most apt as I find any kind of organised religion as rather abhorrent. It seems to come down to: My imaginary friend is better than yours. He is omnipotent, powerful and all forgiving. He has instructed me to kill you in the foulest way I can devise if you do not agree. I think that in this thread (and others) some imaginary friends have taken over the asylum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminator 13 Posted February 16, 2005 i can definitly look that up for you, but i would assume that the Saint would be Saint Monica. Reason is she was the mother of Saint Augustine. he was really bad when he was younger...He went from religion to religion, and slept with tons of women, and such. St Augustine? Sleeping with tons of women...? Now that's my sort of a saint. I take it he was priest and they were his nuns? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eileen 0 Posted February 16, 2005 All that happened before his CONVERSION.....he wasn't a priest.....See, now that i know you saw that Movie The Passion of the Christ.....I am sure you got the feeling that God was a FORGIVING God. Hence the lines taked from the bible "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do" OR "Whoever is without sin cast the FIRST stone" However that second quote was depicted without dialouge....also if you recall Saint Peter denying Jesus ThREE times and yet he was the first POPE. So the point is.....even if you were the worst person in the world....and you did the worst things....and you came to the realization that you were WRONG because you HURT CHRIST then....you are FORGIVEN....(remember this is the CATHOLIC BELIEF) therefore ANYONE CAN BE A SAINT....if they wish to ask for forgiveness. And ya know...there is that word again....FREE WILL....Augustine was a GREAT MAN, and a GREAT SAINT. He did all of his penance on earth....now...he is in heaven...with CHRIST, which is where we all should strive to be.

Jimh 4 Posted February 16, 2005 Which saint is the Patron Saint of Atheists? There is a pretty lengthy list of saints Just here. It doesn't list a patron saint for the atheists. There is, however, a patron saint for anesthetists which is as close as I think you are going to get. Edit: Sorry to go on about this but I'd never read a full list patron saints before. There are some seriously lame ones out there. They must have been at the back of the queue when they were handing out causes. Patron Saint of Apple Orchards? You have no chance of pulling with that job. Although possibly slightly more that the poor sod that got hangovers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted February 16, 2005 Although possibly slightly more that the poor sod that got hangovers. Bibiana, aka Vivian. Charming. I suppose worshipping this saint wil eventually work miracles. In Terry Pratchett's Hogfather Bilious, the oh god of hangovers, is presented. I now know where Pterry got the idea. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
