Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Why does God need a spaceship cathedral ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Nah...Just bored.  

I have to sit in on chapel at work, occasionally. I don't mind going, since it's one the few opportunities I have to sit down for a decent period. I usually do paperwork, check my phone, or "rest my eyes".

I used to massage my legs or shoulders, but it became apparent to me that the chaplain found that very distracting. Tongue

I find them funny sometimes, but most of the time when I have to be in one (usually funerals) I imagine what would happen if it was the church in Diablo! Get's pretty fun imagining the chaos. By and large it's just another place, thought the architecture is often admirable.

Indeed, it is completely stupid.

All the church is really a platform for is people who presume to speak for God.

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
