jtval 0 #76 August 13, 2005 QuoteAhh...that makes it more flexible. As a Catholic our option is either Sat. evening or Sunday. But the mass is only 45-60 minutes long, so it's pretty easy to do and doesn't interfere with my other weekend plans. Chris, I don't mean to pick you out of the crowd this is just the point that I decided to post. CHURCH is just a bldg. CHURCH has NOTHING to do with religion the congregation is where the religion comes in. and as far as organized religion to me its all a bunch of shit. I'm sure I offended a few of you, sorry. I truly believe that we need religion as a form of social values but in the end most of the bible thumpers are the ones who run the congregations. as far as catholics go I have worked with and for a few of them at different point in my life and I have found that ALL OF THEM are hypocritical scumbags who hide behind a cross. IMO you do not need to be in the "house of god" to worship. if thats the case than those morally bankrupt peope I have met are truly the definition of catholic. sinners by weekday and repenters by sunday. we all sin etc blah balh blah but there should be some morale limit to it. I don't mean to go on a rany but this is MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. and since we are all sharing I figured I would, too! myself? I believe there is something better than this but I'm not sure you can find it in a book and I'm pretty sure that those who running the churches are just about as fucked up as many politicians,My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn 0 #84 August 15, 2005 Update: Got up the nerve to tell my mom I wasn't attending church. My mom just said "well, our pastor said that when you go to heaven you'll recognize everyone you know who made it to heaven, but you won't remember those who didn't make it. I said " well thats good, then you won't be missing them". She said "yes, but I hate to think of one of my kids in hell" (obviously me for not attending church), So of course I felt guilty for making my mom worry. So I attended church with my parents. They were very happy. I had a feeling I'd cave in - I hate to disappointment my parents. And it was pretty overcast in SD that day.
