Meh, make em a deal. You go to church, they go to a gay bar. Not like it'll make them gay, right?

I'll go to the strip bar down in lexington, maybe if they see a naked women doing her tang it'll make them lesbian. They waste my 2 hours doing something they enjoy, I'll waste their 2 hours doing something they won't enjoy. If they got money for the services at the church, then they got the money for a lap dance. :d
Religion is like a Penis, you shouldn't whip it out in public and you shouldn't shove it down your child's throat.

Taste isn't exactly delicious either.
And to set the record straight here: It was a raw fish eye. Cooked changes everything.
How big a fish did eye belong to? Because if the eye was small enough, I would swallow it whole, without chewing it

I just want to say that this thread is full of win 
When I was a Christian, I was annoyed with dogmatic condescending Christians. Now that I'm an atheist, I'm annoyed with dogmatic condescending atheists. Just goes to prove that people are the same, regardless of what they do or don't believe.

I've played music for churches before on dulcimer (when they paid me). I have no particular qualms about attending a church as an employee such as a musician.
I do have a large repository of religious music, because when I take requests at performances I occasionally get those; gotta keep the paying customers happy.
But I don't need to go into a church to find out what I might learn about myself or the church: I can probably do that better without their help and get a more balanced response.

Not that I am one, but what does being a fatalist have to do with the topic at hand?

Nah, I think one's digestive juices would take care of it, but if they didn't.. XD
And I can only speak for myself, but I don't mind being in a church per say, I just think that the sermons are bullshit. But I'll probably go to one of the biggest churches this Christmas to listen to a midnight concert, the acoustics there are fantastic!

Nope, one with small mallets (dubbed "hammers") held in the hand used to strike courses of strings.
My own latest dulcimer (purchased in 1993 for about $1,500) comes with eighteen courses strung over one bridge creating two sets of notes each a fifth apart, and another seventeen courses strung over a second bridge making a set of bass notes).
