Lol I guess then those who eat oreos without milk are pagans, heathens and heretics?

[-] De_Narm@lemmy.world 25 points 7 months ago

I hate god and milk, checks out.

[-] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

I have a suspicion that Catholics use wine.

If you want an actual answer, I can! Baptists believe that baptism must mimic the baptisms performed by John the Baptist, so they must be believers baptism (no infants) and, most importantly to the meme, full immersion. Presbyterians believe that infants can be baptized and raised in the faith and that any form of water getting on the baptized person (sprinkle, pour, or dunk) is acceptable.

The Baptist thinks the Presbyterian is a heretic, other Presbyterians think this Presbyterian is a heretic if they believe this is the only acceptable way of doing it.

[-] TunaLobster@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

The PC(USA) Book for Order W-3.0407 The Act of Baptism is where they wrote it down. Applied with the hand, by pouring, or through immersion.

Pretty much just get baptized once and you're good.

Oh! That's the others difference. Presbys only have one baptism. Baptists have no limit.

[-] redshoepastor@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I can honestly say I didn't anticipate someone on Lemmy actually pulling a Book of Order reference (and I was way too lazy to look it up this morning).

Also, I think the Baptists also believe in one baptism (but again, only believers, so infants who were baptized need to be re-baptized for Baptists to recognize it). So I guess no double dipping Oreos for either.

[-] TunaLobster@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I had it handy. They're doing an immersion at the river soon and they printed cards with the citation to let the congregation know it's fine.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago

I grew up Southern Baptist and it was common for people to be re-baptized if they had doubts or left the faith after their first time. The theological justification is that they must not have truly accepted Jesus into their hearts if the first baptism didn't "take," so if you asked to be re-baptized the pastor would ask you a bunch of questions to make sure you're actually serious this time.

I was baptized when I was 7 and have since left the church, but some of my family have begged me to come back and truly accept Jesus into my heart so I can be re-baptized.

..... I thought it was about communion....

[-] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 months ago

Do the crackers get dipped in the wine?

[-] redshoepastor@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

There is a communion practice called "intinction" where the bread is dipped in the juice/wine. Probably not common in traditions that use "host" (crackers, but actually closer to styrofoam), but it is a thing.

[-] poke@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 months ago

Its a reference to how they do their baptisms.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

both, the only holy way to eat oreos is with no milk, by opening 2 oreos, eating one crackly part of each and putting the 2 remains together so that theres double the sweet

can be repeated if you're really into it

[-] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 7 months ago

can you get oreos without the middle part? the cookies are already super sugary, i'd think there are some people who would rather skip the diabetes cream.

[-] mxcory 5 points 7 months ago

I actually prefer the cookie to the cream. The cream is okay, I guess, but I could do without it.

Mormons eating oreos: One sits on a bed holding the oreo just above the milk, while their friend jumps on the bed.

[-] portuga@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Buddhists: the milk is an illusion

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Nah, the Buddhist leaves the oreo in the milk until they become one.

[-] tquid@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

As a Buddhist, thank you for considering this underserved audience. We typically get like two to three new jokes a year

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Hindus: get that thing away from the holy beverage!

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'm an atheist, so I eat them by taking the creme out and just eating the cookie dry, because I don't believe in milk.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Whole Oreos to mouth.

Into the maw.

[-] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 8 points 7 months ago

I am Chinese eating oreos

[-] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Quakers just eat the oreo dry.

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Not before sitting in silence for at least an hour.
