    I almost hope some people at my school do this.

    Just so I can take every copy they give out and keep them from the general populace.

    And probably burn them.

    In what way? This would be a legitimate concern.

    Isn't the argument that since it fights the virus that causes genital warts that it'll "make teenagers more promiscuous if there isn't any risk" or some shit?

    Shocking update to parents everywhere, your teenager is likely already having sex.

    I went to church once, because apparently I had promised my father I'd do so? I don't remember making that promise, but whatever, if he wanted to lie to get me to go, more power to him.

    It was pretty awful. Pretty much everything the pastor was spitting out and the way people were eating it up gave me a weird feeling in my stomach, and it wasn't the holy spirit. Just felt like I shouldn't be there.

    Truth is elusive to those who refuse to see with both eyes.

    Ours is not to question, but to rejoice in their service, for they are perfection.

    Those who abandon the path are evil.

    Blessed are those who walk in unison.

    Guide us on the path that we may triumph over the enemy of our salvation and be with you in the end of ends on the planes of enlightenment.

    Make yourself one with the path and the journey will lead you to eternity.

    Church sucks and everyone who goes to church is pretty much there to keep up appearances or because they've been going so long that they just can't figure out where else to go on sunday morning.

    The only good thing about going to a Lutheran church was all the attractive nordic people and also the church-coffee and church-rice krispee treats after the sermon.

    Non-denominational, I believe.

    It was simply the Parkside Fellowship Church.

    By not having to pay taxes on ill-gotten money, basically extorted out of their flock via the promise of spiritual enlightenment versus stagnation of their position in the church?

    Wait shit that's just the church of scientology.

    I think it's kinda funny when people say atheistic zealots are just as bad as religious fundies. I mean yeah, the hardcore atheist group are really irritating too, but pretty must the worst they ever say to anyone is "you're really stupid for thinking the way you do and you are bringing harm to others." Whereas the worst thing religious fundies say is that "you deserve to be killed for thinking the way you do and you should suffer eternal burning punishment and torment."

    One is a bit worse than the other.

    Well fuck I'd better not mention how I was told by no less than three people that my father's illnesses were because he wasn't attending church and praying enough while he was having fucking seizures and recovering from ANOTHER botched colostomy operation. Yes, god is punishing my father for not putting a fiver in that brass fucking plate, of course, I should have known.
