I enjoyed the younger MILFs at church. I didn't enjoy the the peace and love sermon. :yuk:
The only thing I have to add is the Dr. Seuss Bible:

I was torn between posting this one and "Jesus, the Bad Carpenter."

He's too busy cooking Christmas dinner, probably not back on languish till tomorrow.
I consumed a great deal of pig flesh in celebration of Easter.

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
We had a full turkey and trimmings dinner for Easter. Now my uncle and I are trying to find the late football game on NFL network.

Was this a sort of personal anthropology project, a fufillment of family obligations, or have you found jesus? :huh:
At least he didn't say Unitarian.

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.
:huh: Shot glasses in church? Have you been drinking again?
We always had tiny little glasses filled with grape juice. :thumbsdown:

Serbian church.
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.

No Bingo. Also that soul saving thing.

Yeah, that's also one of Methodism's biggest failings. Too much damned Temperance/Prohibitionist in our history.
I got stuck going to the contemporary service with my parents. Felt embarrassed for everyone else there. But I did get a kick out of watching the stereotypical 50 year old church lady rocking out on the bass.
I've said it before & I'll say it again: I like my religion solemn and traditional, and I like my rock music secular. The two just don't mix and I don't get how people think they do.
Ya know, we got a solemn and traditional thing going on over here...
Had some folar for Easter.

BTW, since I have't bashed the faithtards...
QuoteChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
I was going to the local CofE Church for Easter. Saw they had a female vicar and left :bleeding:
I've since looked them up and apparently they're liberal Anglo-Catholics (incense!) so I may visit. But I've got no hopes, based on the trendiness of the celebrant <_<

No, I left out the words "in this thread", I've been bashing faithtards in the GOP Nomination thread.
