There's got be some positive aspect of religion/church that you can admit you kinda, sorta miss a little. So, fess up. Doesn't matter how small it is...Hell, it may even be somewhat profound. I'll start:Now Sista Thena, while I agree that the cakes and cookies were the best and the only things that helped me endure the interminably boring services when I was a kid, when it came to pies, nobody could touch the bean pies the Muslims used to sell on the corner with their copies of Final Call.
I miss all of the baked stuff. No one, and I really mean no one, bakes a cake or pie like a church lady. They don't give a damn about cholesterol and their desserts prove it....all butter, all the time. There was a lady at my church who made a standard-sized cherry cheesecake that must have weighed at least 12 pounds, easily. I've never tasted anything that even comes close, since. Coconut cake, pecan pie, fudge, all that shit...best in the world.
Alright, your turn!
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
