Some highlights:

Hellfire preacher lady- I'm going to hell apparently

Puppet show of doom. The puppets sang this:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87rbegDpHxk"]YouTube - "God's Building A Church" By Gold City[/ame]

Creepy fucking lyrics if you ask me.

BUT

Even though I hate churchy stuff, they were a very friendly bunch. They fed me and my 4 kids hamburgers, cotton candy, and sno cones. There was also some huge group of people there from Nashville for some reason. I couldn't understand why everyone had a southern accent.

I was going to tell them there was no god but I'm sure I would have been killed.

Fucking church....the food and friendliness is a trick right? They feed you and next thing you know, to the brainwashing room!
 


OK, let's back up here. You were just driving in your car, saw a church social going on outside, and said "Hey, kids, look! Free grub!"??
 
yeah, the food n shit is a trick... it works on reciprocity... for most people if you give them something (even something free), they will feel obligated to give you something back... probably something leftover from primitive tribal times when hunter gathers exchanged things to help each other survive...

basically they're counting on the majority of people feeling obligated to return and donate more $ to them... big religion is big business...
 
You must be one of the people that I see at my church's outings all the time.


Seriously though , every time a church has a event, 2x the size of the normal congregation shows up , we get cousin's ex-wife's friend's brother and such.

As long as there's enough food, there's usually no complaints.

And for the most part, it's not about trying to bribe you to come to church, alot of churches just do it to be nice and friendly towards people, if people decide on coming to church, that's an added bonus.
 
Yeah - this is the "light" version of what missionaries do in Africa, Pakistan, and other places where people are starving and desperate.

Google "conversions for food" and that sort of thing and find all the places where so-called missionaries wouldn't dole out the goods to the starving locals unless they went to church first.

amen

I know a guy that answer the door naked when the jehovahs called on him. True story.

He stood there buck naked for a minute and listened, then invited them in.

And they actually came in. He likes mind games and eventually drove them out when he was bored with them.

Can't imagine what he'd do but probably just about anything.
Never heard how he drove them out.
 
Back home I liked to go to church BBQs and pick up the pastors' daughters. Those girls are sick to death of Christianity and Daddy's overbearing morality, and are dying for some liberating sex. Lots of the other young adults are like that too. Horny and repressed 18 year olds = fun.

Been there done that, got several t-shirts.
 
I actually had a good time there. It's not like they haven't seen me around either. That place used to be a gym/racquetball club I went to almost daily. The church owns it and you can still go there to work out but I haven't really been there since the conversion haha.

The kids are interested so I may sign them up for vacation bible school to see if they like it. I always did as a kid and wouldn't deny my kids something fun.

meh....I don't know.

Don't mind us - hey, go! I think a good chuch is a great addition to a society. Unfortunately, I just thing about 95% are kinda worthless and are antithetical to real spiritual "truth"...I wasn't knocking your faith mate.....

Such a true statement. I'm leaning towards not going to church tomorrow because I've realized the one I'm attending is just "fluff" - plus it's almost 3am and I could sleep but don't want to. I miss my night shift job...

Nope. We've been asking for proof all along.

Are you an open minded agnostic or a hard core atheist? If the former, what kind of proof do you want?
Logical, scientific, intuitive? There's some very interesting books you may want to pick up.

I ask the question because I'm not into trying to "change" people's minds just like sharing info that's helped me out. It won't be from the bible however, if that's what you need....
