don't stand out

brought up that way

scripture cherry picking makes it palatable, I'm not inconvenienced the least

get to feel better than [insert appropriate group that are obviously fucking sinners]

keep mom happy

keep the wife happy

was browbeat into promising to attend church when the fucking kid got baptized

see that new church sexretary?  hubba hubba !!

Except for brought up that way all I see is a fear motive. Get to feel better than, scripture cherry picking and see that new church sexretary are motives after you're in. .
