Social Functions

[Cinjin]

What about spiritual solace? I don't mean, like, ghosts and stuff. I mean things like how to cope with the fact that one is extremely small compared with all the big stuff out there, sorrow, how can I deal with the fact that one's daughter in law is a monster?, that it seems impossible to find friendship in the teeming city, that kinda stuff? How can I cope with my emotional issues? (all these hypothetical btw - mostly)

These kinda things are no good if you have to write a cheque at the end. Kinda knocks the socks off the deal. Seems to me anyway. Not that I give a toss. But lots of folk seem to want (need?) that kinda stuff.

Spiritual solace...lol. So you think that a vicars advice is free eh? Cosmic judgement of sin, potentiality of hell. Shame, guilt, etc. Doesn't sound like free advice. Oh, and are we insinuating that churches run on mana from heaven? No, no, people pay the vicar for his services as well, so back to the drawing board on that one buddy. I'd rather pay a licensed professional by the hour.

Good point. I would add this.... what kind of "spiritual solace" could an atheist possibly get from the church anyway?!?! Reality check pal ... they think you're going TO HELL!
