RE: Would you go to church just to prove it won't change anything about you?

August 19, 2011 at 1:03 pm

I was dating a self-described young fundamentalist Christian woman for a while back in '97, and yes, she put out. Despite her own acknowledgement that she was sinning she still went to church every Sunday as she had since she was born. I went along on a few occasions, if for no other reason than to enjoy the irony of what was to come when we got back to my place later. It didn't change me, and I was surprised to find it kind of interesting. Its all nonsense, of course, but from an anthropololgical point of view it was culturally and historically fascinating. If you marvel at the behavior and try to analyze it dispassionately it is quite interesting to watch this primitive ritual unfold.
