How many churches in your town?

RE: How many churches in your town?
What's an 'adherent' anyhow ??

Goes to church for funerals and Easter ?

Hasn't cracked a Bible since confirmation class 40 years earlier ?

Doesn't know Christ failed to mention half the commandments when asked which ones to enforce ?

Divorced and remarried 3 times ?



If the map was crayoned for Literalists and the Inerrants, I'm thinking it might be blank other than a dot for FLDS on the Utah/Nevada border.

Columbia, SC; countless churches. Around 100 in the Yellow Pages, but who knows how many storefront non-denominational evangelical churches there are? The refugee kids I mentor find the number of churches remarkable.

I used the church finder thingy and there were 10 fucking baptists conglomerations of shitballs alone.

Too depressing after that.

Funny thing, though, is that when they built Sun City in the 60's it was all these old bastards and they built all these huge fucking churches. Now the original old bastards have died off and the newer ones aren't interested so they have all these white elephants sitting empty and the preachers whine about it all the time.

Sucks to be them.

Now if can get the law changed to add church property to the tax rolls, they would really be in trouble. Declining membership, no income and have to pay real estate taxes; a perfect storm.

If it happens, it is as God wills anyway, so why cry about it?

It's not considred the evangelical capital of the country for nothing.
