I was baptized catholic but my parents gave me the choice of going to church or not. I went for a while but i didn't agree with alot of what they said. The last church i went too all the Priest ever did was condemn homosexuality.. that does not wash with me, I have alot of gay friends and it would be hypocritical of me to sit there and believe that it is wrong. I will never go back to organised religion.
They don't preach love and tolerance, they encourage exclusion and hatred.... not what it's supposed to be about.

LOL NO, Plenty of people talk to me but when they start with the Gotta love Jesus stuff I turn to dust. My father is one of the worst offenders of my basic rule, no religion talk.
I think if I was religious I would be catholic because at least they get excersize in church getting up and down so much.

Stoplights...........I have seen several come down over the years and be replaced with stop signs because the town either could not afford to replace it, or just decided these good God fearing people could drive Ok.
I once found a "religious flyer" in a bathroom that, no shit, said, "Do you realise that when you got up this morning,........that if it wasn't for the love of God,.........The Devil would have caused you to slip and fall,.............and you would be in,.................Hell Before Breakfast!!!!
I am not joking here, I wish I had kept it just to prove it! (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Monday, February 09, 2009 9:16:27 PM)

Check out my downtown (and know why my tagline says "wishing it was still Detroit" Pity me). Pay specific attention to the silo off in the distance. The big building facing us is the city library (where I goes to rent me up some movies!). That movie theater / church / gym is on the cross street right in front of it. Picture taken from one of about three streetlights in town.
Too bad there isn't a good shot of the front of one of those buildings. A little to the left of where that street in front of the library cuts in is a sign in the window that you can't miss. A big "Are you washed in the blood of Christ?" I always think...EEWWWWWW!!!! Sounds sticky.
