All I know is the preacher who married us did not say a word when I paid him $200 more then what he asked. When my wife asked if I paid him I said yes I gave him the $400 and she looked at me and said how nice it was I gave him a $200 tip. I said Tip? I thoght he charged $400 and as I looked around I noticed he had booked.

I went to a church thing last night and it was very boring so I decided to go to hell and have a little fun.

SolidSnake84 · 12-18-2009, 03:51 PM

From what i've learned this far....people's opinion of church vary greatly. Most people i've talked to on here take the position that sitting in church is not what defines one's relationship with God. Another part of people say that Church is necessary because me, being a believer, need to be around and fellowship with other believers, even though it may be non-enjoyable and have many unsavory characters and preachers associate with it.

And then at the other end of the spectrum, people describe a crazy place...with people convulsing and speaking toungues...doing backflips and grabbing rattlesnakes and chickens...and yet those are the people who look foreward to it all week, etc...as compared to the people in the "regular" churches who look like they are made to go, etc...

If you want to go to church and have fun find a black southern church and put on your Sunday best and go have fun. I had a teacher in school who was also a preacher and we went to his church several times and even though service lasted two hours we really enjoyed ourself. You know its going to be fun when you walk in the door the music is going and they hand you a tambourine to get things started.

Thats what i'm after...a happy balance. I have no problem worshipping publicly like that. I played the drums in the praise band at the last 3 churches i attended (Calvary Chapel from 2006-2007, Metro Morningstar, now called Every Nation for a spat in late 2007, and most recently played at Fellowship Bible Church in 2008)

It just seems like around here there is no in between...i like the idea of a black southern church...i went to one of those earlier this year and i can tell you no place i've ever been has treated us so nice...

Chruch is a great place to meet women. Especially Catholic women wearing their Sunday best

Lol, I'm so going to hell.

This is true; you'll find more unselfish loving girls with ummm.. somewhat loose morals while in a relationship in church than almost anywhere else.

Is it really religion that you're seeking?

Schneed10 · 12-27-2009, 08:49 AM

Religion...

- Makes people feel a lot less scared about dying, believing there's an afterlife.

- Cannot be proven or disproven.

- Is a serious money-maker, supporting jobs for many.

If that's not the biggest grift of all time, I don't know what is. A lot of good comes from it because there are a lot of kind-hearted people involved. But that good comes from the kindness in their hearts, the tale that is religion is simply a catalyst for it.

There is no god, there is no afterlife, there is only life on Earth as we know it. If you want to believe otherwise, cool whatever. But don't waste your hard earned money supporting religion the institution, because it's all a load of crap.
