A few months back, I decided to go to church. I have been to some wacky ones as a kid and I figured her, let me check this out again, maybe I will get into it.
I get there and they hand us this schedule of what they talk about, I sit down wiht the gf and we wait. Whe they are ready, they proceed to play this post rock type of music for like half an hour. Everyone is standing up so I feel obliged to d the same. I am standing there stiff as fuck while evry one around me is rocking back and forth or slowly waving their hands around, etc.
They stop and the guy starts basically yelling at his people for not giving them enough money. Not yelling but like bitching about it for like 15 or so minutes.
The moment he started talking about the bible I feel right to sleep. The kinda heavy pamphlet fell out of my hands that made a smack on the tile which woke me up and had people staring at me.
All in all it half of my time was spent feeling awkward and the other half sleeping.
I can't understand how anyone like him can be so into it but to each their own I guess.

When I saw how people were reacting to what I wrote I thought to myself 'These people would probably think of me as a religious psychopath' if that makes any sense lol. I just have no emotion either way about it and it would probably be very awkward if I hung out with them face to face.
