I hate pubs and clubs. I don't drink and I don't like douchebags. I would like a place to meet up with people like me who aren't drinking, dancing or otherwise acting like their fulfillment in life amounts to feeling fucked up and getting uncomfortably close to strangers who are saying vapid things to impress each other.
This is all well and good, but it does make it something of a mystery as to why you're still here at AF.
I attended a UU church for a time, but I just couldn't hang with the "getting up at 10:30 in the morning on the weekend" part of it. It's made me think once or twice about hitting up one of those Christian mega churches with the evening services. And, for no particular reason, I know probably more than I should about the financial aspects of running UU churches, with the emphasis on membership (defined as monetary contributors) and the constant drive to increase membership (for the obvious and not so obvious reasons). I rather liked the UU church I attended, although some things — like singing psalms — kinda weirded me out. I'm told the UU church I made my home was the most atheistic in the city. That may have influenced my choice (I mean beyond it also being only five minutes from home).
