Languish's church attendence

[Lettow77]

 I was just curious. A part of being closer to my roommate and living with his family is church on sundays, and it is nostalgic for me. I approve of faith, but regret I can't in good conscience adhere to it myself. Even so, there is much to recommend for the experience, and it occurred to me this is likely a rather irreligious segment of the population.

Nope.  Not my bag.

When I do drag my ass to church I invariably feel good about it.

Sadly I rarely do it.

Afraid i'll burst into flames if enter holy site, so never.

I have the same fear. I survived going into a Protestant church last year. I'm still scared of the Roman Catholic churches.

Voted 'never'.  After we moved down here Princesca used to drag me to her family's church for special events like Christmas Eve, Easter, etc. but fortunately we stopped doing that a few years ago.  Their church is one of those places where most of the sermons are "Why 'x' is/are evil and will not be saved" where x in ('homosexuals', 'Catholics', 'Mormons' 'abortionists', 'Obama').

Well you are evil Caliga, with all that lust in your heart.

[Caliga]

I forgot 'perverts'.

I went to church today and listened to the sisters bear their testimony.

[Ed Anger]

Whenever I feel like it. Which ain't much.

I've started going relatively often actually.  More or less weekly for the past couple of months.  Which is novel.

I've managed to go a few times the past few years, just checking out different Catholic churches around the area, from the little late '60s architectural nightmare where I was baptized to the imperiously papal Cathedral of Mary Our Queen.  I just find Mass incredibly interesting, and I'm more focused on watching and reading the symbolism of it all than out of devotion. It's just a fascinating event.

And, I will admit, there's something stirring about the Mass processional ending with "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today".  Just makes ya happy, until your team shanks the AFC Championship game 5 hours later.

I have to say that Catholic Masses are WAY more tolerable than evangelical Protestant services.

Oh, I forgot to mention--speaking of pervert, a year or so ago at Princesca's family church during the 'come forth to be baptized, sheeple' part this dude got up and announced to the congregation that he needed to be re-baptized and dedicate his life to Jeebus again because he was addicted to hardcore pornography.   Later I asked Princesca's grandma what she thought about that and she blushed and said "Welllllllllll......"

[Ed Anger]

I do love a fire and brimstone speech by some old cracker baptist preacher. The younger preachers just don't have it.

[Jaron]

I find Mormon ceremonies interesting. There's no service of any kind. No pastor, no sermon. It's just an hour and a half or so of music and individuals coming up to share their struggles and reaffirm their faith. I rather have enjoyed it, if for nothing else than I enjoy seeing women cry.
