Today, as a priest's helper in church, I was giving Communion. It took me three people to realize that every time I was giving them the Eucharist, I was saying, "May the force be with you". FML

Today, I was working at a soup kitchen with people from my church. Seeing a rather disheveled couple, I told them the line started "over there". Only then did I realize that they were from my church, and were there to help serve soup. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I serve at church and had a funeral. As I greeted the family, someone asked how I was doing. Without thought, I responded, "Good to be alive." FML

Today, at church, I sneezed suddenly and messily into my hand just as the priest asked us to stand and greet our neighbors with a handshake. FML

Today, at church, while everyone was shaking hands and saying, “Peace be with you” to one another, a man took out hand sanitizer and washed his hands after he shook mine. And only mine. FML

Today, I walked past a man handing out miniature Bibles on my way to class. He handed me one, commenting "here, you look like you need this." FML

Today, at my job as a funeral director, I fell ass over heels into the grave in front of a hundred mourners and an unamused Catholic priest. FML

Period drama

Today, I was an altar server at my Catholic church. I wore a long white robe and at the end of Mass, I grabbed my candle and bowed to the altar. I turned around and started walking down the aisle. The woman behind me came up quickly to tell me I had bled through my robe. FML

Today, I went to evening Mass. I later found that sometime between entering the church and receiving Communion, someone had snatched my iPhone straight out of my handbag. FML

Today, as I helped my boss set up catering at our café, she was stressing about having enough time for everything when the DJ chimed in with, "Why don't you ask him to help?" It got awkwardly quiet as they looked at me and he realized I was a girl. Then he tried saying, "By him, I mean Jesus." FML

Today, someone handed me a drink at a wedding, so I awkwardly took a sip and commented on the taste. It turns out they were just trying to “Cheers!” me. FML

That's pretty funny. Just apologize and laugh it off. Beware of the angry Christians though.

I'm Catholic, and I don't see why her comment got downvoted.

I'm sorry, I can't help it, but that is just HILARIOUS! It gave me a huge laugh on a Monday morning. You're human, this stuff happens, and hopefully nobody got mad at you for mixing it up.

That just means you don't belong in church anymore. Time to move on from fairy tales.

You know what I love about FML. Good puns and jokes get an up vote and real opinionated answers get buried. May the force be with you all.

You're not getting downvoted for sharing your opinion. You're getting downvoted for sharing it in an insulting and demeaning way.

Agreed. Having an opinion is one thing. Being an ass about it and talking as though everyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot is quite another. I find it sickening how many people think talking to others like that is appropriate.

A difference between saying "I don't believe in god" and saying "Skywizard and faeries don't exist. Derp!" The line between the two is why you are getting voted off the island.

So you're an atheist. Whoop-dee-frick-a-dee-doo. You're no more than just another asshole, little different than those Westboro zealots.

I don't understand why so many atheists feel the need to announce that they are. What's the point? Most people don't care whether or not you believe in God!

You got the tune right, just the lyrics a bit off. Let's hope the priest is a Star Wars fan!

It's ok, OP. I'll never forget the time I was watching Star Wars at youth group and on reflex we all said "and also with you" when Obi Wan said "May the force be with you." I'm pretty sure any Anglican/Episcopal/Lutheran/Catholic kid has done the same at some point.
