Ugh - I can't believe I'm up to go to church.

So, did the holy water boil when you walked past it?

Presbyterian, no holy water.

Highlights - a mime troupe that performed jesus dying on the cross (and then he came back in a white robe and pointy white hood), a woman who got the holy spirit and after convulsing a bit - passed out, and a slide show of the minister's car accident on tuesday past

Lowlight - 2.5 hour service

Was this a sort of personal anthropology project, a fufillment of family obligations, or have you found jesus?  :huh:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I've been to one catholic service. It was pretty underwhelming.

Did you leave before the part where wine becomes jesus blood and bread his flesh?

I just remained in the pew. I did partake at a Lutheran church.

To answer your earlier question, my sister wanted to go and I obliged. In any given year though, I go to church 2 to 3 times even without familial prompting. I find the experience culturally interesting if not spiritually rewarding.

I like the way the Lutherans do it, with individual little shot glasses, as opposed to a chalice.
Just can't slam the chalice down after two fingers.  As much, anyway.

Our Lutheran church had a chalice from the 18th century. It was turned slightly after every sip an wiped when it had completed one turn.

Presbyterians do the shot glasses/sparkling grape thing, as well.

That's how you know your church was the wrong one.  Catholic Church you get watered down wine.  Then whiskey and pancakes and bingo.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No Bingo.  Also that soul saving thing.
