People who fracture over how deep to push them down during baptism, and how long to hold them under. (Love what Kinky Friedman says: No one holds them down long enough.)<BR/><BR/>There's snake handlers, speakers in tongues, faith healers and those who started a new church across town because somebody picked oak for the new pews and they wanted walnut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-1140987820501894522006-02-26T15:03:00.000-06:002006-02-26T15:03:00.000-06:00He and Cheney sacrifice goats in the Lincoln bedro...He and Cheney sacrifice goats in the Lincoln bedroom.<BR/><BR/>We used to skip in high school and go to Sonic or Bennigans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-1140972905196645772006-02-26T10:55:00.000-06:002006-02-26T10:55:00.000-06:00I've always felt that church is most pleasant and ...<I>I've always felt that church is most pleasant and useful as a general gathering in worship...</I><BR/><BR/>I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. As a kid, I used to look forward to the part of Mass in which I'd sneak off to the bathroom, lock the bathroom stall, and slide out under the door; thus leaving it locked. I kept that up every Sunday until I finally got busted by the organist while crawling under. A few weeks later, he saw me hanging around the alter after church and came up to me like I was in trouble. But I was there with my dad, who was always heavily involved in the church (and eventually became a Deacon); and the organist asked me if that was my dad, and walked off with nothing to say after I told him that it was. I've always kind of hoped that God would have the same reaction too; and would let me into Heaven as a reward to my dad for all his good service.<BR/><BR/>As a teen, the only thing I liked about church was looking at the girls dressed-up in their Sunday best. But I'm married now, so there's really no point in going to church at all.Doctor Biobrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641661532899934766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494384.post-1140953310639735992006-02-26T05:28:00.000-06:002006-02-26T05:28:00.000-06:00This is always something that I thought got short ...This is always something that I thought got short shrift considering all the positive conservative press Bush gets about finding God. All I've heard is that he "doesn't attend regular service on Sunday." That on its own strikes me as a little odd -- I've always felt that church is most pleasant and useful as a general gathering in worship...<BR/><BR/>This is something we could probably resolve with a little "old-fashioned investigative journalism" as Spider Jerusalem would call it. I know that there have been a few features in various magazines on the subject that might glean something interesting. At any rate it's the type of thing that I'd like to circulate into the blogosphere in the hopes that it might get asked to Scott McClellan at some point:<BR/><BR/>"What does President do for his Sunday worship? What is he doing this Sunday? Could maybe we do it as a publicly broadcast event, just once?"<BR/><BR/>Sure would give a lot of credence to the Howard Dean "I worship in private" line that was used to tar him as a Northeastern closet agnostic, should that ever come up again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
