About This Quote
The phrase, “Hearing nuns’ confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn,” is a reference to the fact that religious people tend to be boring. Nuns are not known for their entertaining discourses, but rather for their tedious prayers, which sound more like a recitation of the alphabet than an interesting story. This saying contains an element of truth. Religious people tend to be boring.
However, it takes more than boredom to make someone boring. Most are filled with all sorts of emotions and ideas that they try to hide from others.
