Quote:"People go to church for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy."
Reminds me of something one of my old college profs once said. He called it a Russian Proverb but I'll credit him. Great guy.
"The church is near,
but the road is icy.
The tavern is far,
but I will walk carefully.
-- Dr. Cecil Cody, c. 1969
