Why are you guys encouraging Viking here?  It's like discussing how bad Israel is with Slargos.
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

eh? He managed perfectly well to speak to adam and eve face to face and speak to all the prophets brain to brain. Just imagine that if every village had it's own little jesus complete with miracles who were sons of god to show off his existingness.

This would be awesome.

I PUT MY TIME IN WHEN I WAS A KID.  NOW IT'S HIS TURN.

But seriously, my wife has been working Sundays, so I stay home with my 1-year old girl.  I could take her with me and drop her off in the nursery while I attend the morning service, but I feel weird doing that.

Why?  The going to church alone thing?

No-- I'd sit with my parents, assuming I can pull them away from the "contemporary" service they seem to like these days :mellow:

It's that my daughter is in day care 3 days a week as it is, plus I feel weird telling some volunteer "here's my kid-- you have to watch her while I go sit down somewhere". 

On top of that there's a laziness factor on my part.  As it is right now, I just have to get Tommy dressed and fed in the morning, and then my parents come pick him up at 9:00am.  If I took Lola, I'd have two kids plus myself to get ready.

Neither does anybody else for that matter. I have been jaded by too many poes on this topic, so I treat them all as serious if they post sans emoticons.

you, sir, are smarter, more moral, wiser and more loving than the god that insists on us taking life and death choices based on no evidence whatsoever.

Why do you think it's important for him to go to church everyweek but not for you?

It's not that I don't think it's important for me-- it's just that since I want the church to be part of his learning & development I think it's more critical that he go. 

QuoteI understand taking care of the other kid but shouldn't Church going be above that?

That's how I see what Scipio is doing.

The simplest answer is that Scip is a much better Christian than I am.

It just occured to me that religion may be God's ultimate test.  If you manage to resist indoctrination and realize that atheism is the one true answer, you passed God's test, and you go to Heaven.

Don't take it personally, I was just having a second go at trying to come up with something original.

The thing is that every argument for and against the existence of god apart from the watchmaker argument was fully developed by 270 BC and the watchmaker argument died in 1859.
