I'm sorry - I just saw this commercial for "scrubbing bubbles shower cleaner" and I got a giggle....
Now I'm sure Jesus has a sense of humour, so what are your thoughts on this??
witty answers most welcome....please play nice

"Scrub! Scrub! Scrub that Sin away!"
Now I'm a thinker with a heart of gold
With the ways of an alpha mind, I've been told
The kind of a thinker that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
That guy that invented confess-and-forget
I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree.
Now, it ain't 'cause I don't sin myself
An' I don't reckon that it hinders your health
I've sinned for all my life and I ain't dead yet!
But obsessing fools are all the same
With a new job in mind or a poker game
Ev'rything gotta stop whilst they confess-and-forget.
CHORUS
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub that Sin away!
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub it if you sin yourself to death
Tell old Peter at the final gate
That you hates to make him wait
You've gotta do another ‘fess-and-forget!
In a game of chance the other night
Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right
Man, the kings and queens just kept on comin' around
Then I got a full and I bet it high
But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He just keep on raisin' and layin' the money down.
Now, he'd raise me … I'd raise him
I sweated blood … you gotta sink or swim
He finally called … didn't raise the bet
I said, "Aces full, bro, how 'bout you?"
He said, "Well, I'll tell you in just a minute or two
But right now, I just gotta confess myself and forget."
CHORUS
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub that Sin away!
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub it if you sin yourself to death
Tell old Peter at the final gate
That you hates to make him wait
You've gotta do another ‘fess-and-forget!
Now, the other day I had me a date
With the cutest little job across the eastern states
A well-paid, uptown, fancy little game
Selling New Age books for a real nice fee
And the hours looked sweet and it seemed to me
That ev'rything would roll my way again.
The consultant changed from a lump of ice
And the interviewin’ was goin’ real nice
So help me, brother, I think I'd have got it yet
Well, I gave it my best … sat back with ease
He said, "Su, excuse me … please, but
I just gotta do another ‘fess-and-forget."
CHORUS
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub that Sin away!
Scrub! Scrub! Scrub it if you sin yourself to death
Tell old Peter at the final gate
That you hates to make him wait
You've gotta do another ‘fess-and-forget!

Scrubbing Bubbles!!

Honestly, I think Jesus would use the scrubbing bubbles to tell the Pharisees they they are white washed tombs. As it gives a good word picture.
Clean on the outside but still rotten on the inside.

That's a good analogy since confession doesn't really do anything other than make the person feel better, just like scrubbing bubbles doesn't remove the tough stuff.

LOL.. I have a hunch it was intended to be more your sort of intestinal cleanser closely followed by three Hail Mary's and an Our Father or two. Real sinners get to use the stations of the cross and a whole string of rosary beads... but your such a dear, you wouldn't fall into that category!

Pray tell Fred! When have you ever used "scrubbing bubbles"?? Poor Ethel works her fingers to the bone taking care of you, you know.
**Well, you know that's what she claims anyway. Wink**

Sure. You spread it on thick, don't really have to do any work, repeat weekly.
There's even a version you can install in your shower/confessional that cleans by itself while you're away at work.
Verrrry interesting. But schtupit. (If you get the Arte Johnson reference)

Yes. I'd have to agree. As one who hears Confessions regularly: Very much like it. It gets in all the nooks and crannies and cleans out even the dark corners. Like "Ajax"...it's "stronger than dirt!!"

It's more of a salt scrub, actually. It exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time.

Father God gets rid of dirt, and grease and grime in just a minute,
Father god cleans the whole temple, and every thing that's in it.
