Languish's church attendence

That's an excellent question, actually. Scipio made it sound like Slavs were royally screwed over secular humanism en masse, whereas they only encountered (outside of those countries) with, hmmmm, communist secularism, which was about fucking you up if you kept going to churches. Not the same thing.

communist secularism? Did Stalin run a dictatorship on the principle of separation of Church and State? Not communist secularism; communist totalitarianism.

I know, I was just following the equatation (sp?) Scipio seems to have made

Whatevs.  Y'all can sneer all you want.  Secular humanism hasn't done dick for the Slavs worldwide, so you'll pardon me if I cling bitterly to my religion and guns in the United States, where I live freely thanks in large part to flight from religious persecution.

I would put it that Slavs didn't do much for secular humanism

SUBHUMAN FIGHT

aren't you, like, of Irish descent? The gypsies of western europe?

I'm also of German decent, which just made an appearance in this thread.  So there.

So, when are you going to give the kids the opt-out option? I'm planning on sitting them down at age 12 and asking them what they think and if they want to continue the church going. Or if they express doubts earlier.

Atheist douchebag Dawkins type thinking? BEATINGS.

Have not thought that far ahead.  I guess I'll probably make them go through high school, then shame them into going for Christmas, Easter, etc. after that.

Why do you not go every week but your kid does?

I also have some German blood in me, bruder!

Cool.  Let's videotape each other shitting, post it on the internet and get rich!

I was always fascinated with the meeting between Jesus and Pontius Pilate.  I could never understand why Jesus just didn't play ball to save his own ass.

But then again, that was the point, wasn't it?

Yeah, that one and the one where Frodo travels all the way to the Crack of Doom and then doesn't throw the ring in.  I didn't get that one, either.

Again, probably a plot necessity.

CdM shits on his heritage yet again.

What do you mean?  That was obvious.  His personal will was overwhelmed by the power of the Ring.

8 year old CdM doesn't understand why you're such a mean old man.

My lack of indoctrination shows well in case of the whole Jesus sacrifice thingie. Doesn't work with the omnipotent God angle. It also doesn't work with the non-opmnipotent God angle either.

If God is Omnipotent how can something not work for him?

Well, is God were Omnipotent then he could just change the law without having to redeem humanity by means of human sacrifice.

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.

Well if God were omnipotent he could do it however he wanted.  Everything works in that framework.

Why?  God did it.  Why did he do it?  Because he wanted to.

Why?  The going to church alone thing?
