If people start treating a rabbit's foot like gospel, it won't be seen as a mere folk superstition anymore—it'll become a pillar of faith worthy of absolute devotion.🙏

It could even turn into more than just a superstition; it might become a national holiday!

But, I guess, why is it that during Easter or Ramadan, people celebrate rabbits? 🤔

Who would you trust with your safety first?☕

😂 A lucky rabbit versus St. Anthony....

Honestly, they should just team up! The rabbit brings the good luck, and then if you somehow manage to lose it, you've got St. Anthony on hand to track down whatever went missing... he’s the guy who finds lost things, right???=

It’s all about... bitterness—oops, I mean fertility!

Look at her, acting like she knows anything about St. Anthony😛
and clearly nothing about the bunny either😍

So, you've made your choice, then.

By the way, I actually had to jump on Google to look up why St. Anthony is such a big deal.
Wikipedia mentions how he preached in languages he never even studied, and that God performed miracles through him on a scale unlike any other saint in history, right up to this very day.🙏
Plus, my mom always says he's the go-to specialist for family matters and kids.

Personally, I don't think I even need an icon of St. Anthony to believe in him or the miracles that can happen through his grace.

That’s just how it is, I suppose.
Anyone can pull a rabbit out of a hat, but let’s see if they can pull Jesus out of a hat—or maybe a hood—when things actually get serious. 😁

or even the Easter Bunny! 😍

Hey now—we're all friends here!
So, you finally made up your mind?

It really just comes down to faith—if you believe, it works. 😂

I actually have three castor beans in my pocket that somehow escaped the spring planting. I truly believe they're keeping me healthy because I haven't caught a single cold lately!

I don't even need a little picture of St. Anthony to believe in him and the miracles he can perform.

Exactly! He works just by existing... and you know how the old folks say:

Pray to St. Anthony to find those lost keys of yours!

Quick question for everyone; is the actual title of this subforum "pro and contra Christianity in a thousand different ways," or am I just imagining things?

I mean, why isn't it Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism? :next:

I agree. It seemed to me that the religious crowd on this forum has convinced themselves they’ve reached some peak level of spirituality. Now, acting like spiritual salesmen, they've spent the last six months peddling their specific doctrine everywhere they go. 🤷

It just goes to show they must be bored out of their minds over on the main site, so now they're acting like missionaries here. A few years back, you wouldn't have seen them sniffing around this corner of the internet, but now? They're having a blast blowing in the wind right here in what they consider the "den of witches and devil worshippers."

Maybe they've even swapped their holy medals for rabbit's feet while they're at it—who knows!🤷

He’s a pretty good patron saint for the disorganized. Though, I suppose it might be helpful to actually tidy up the apartment once in a while.☕

I mean, Jesus did say He came for the sinners, not the righteous, right? 😁

Can one person even pull Jesus out of a hat???

And what is He even doing in there anyway???

Is this some kind of fancy hat from a high-end tailor in DC???

Man, we have gone way too far with this one...
