Who here still goes to Church on Sunday?
 

Honest question...

I have only ever been in a church for weddings (other peoples), christenings (other peoples kids), and funerals (other peoples as well).

Never been in a mosque, and never intend to.

every sunday

I'm not sure I believe this one

i never have

When I worked on the cruise ships, 'going to church' was a euphemism for going to the brothel. I remember one new hire saying to me how he was surprised by how many guys on the ship were religious, and so excited and enthusiastically discussing in the crew bar 'going to church' in Curacao the next day.

not me, lighting may strike! plus I dont believe in that stuff... Darwin is my hero

hehe from Kindergarten to 8th grade I went to mass 3 times a week growing up. Catholic school made me a sinner! :thumbsup

I haven't been to church (Catholic) for probably 15 years or so. When I was younger, my parents used to take my little brother and I, but that stopped when I hit 7th grade.

I used to go to these sunday school classes, but they were on Wednesday night and they were called "PSR." at the time I had stolen my dads mini tape recorder to make fart sounds on to play during class, but it turned out that day the teacher went on for the entire time about how "god hates faggots" and "if your parents had you before they were married, your going to hell" blah blah blah

I showed my parents and said how I felt uncomfortable there, so they showed it to the head nun and I go out of going :thumbsup

Since then, I have only gone to a church when I have been dragged by a gf to go for xmas eve service, but that has only been like twice

considering the man himself said 'do not build a house in my name' i have a hard time understanding why anyone goes-

anyone know who the single largest holder of real estate in the world is??? think the church itself has forgotten what it is supposed to be doing

Nope. Don't see the point...

Churches are there to indoctrinate your children.

I make Spaghetti every Sunday in honor of my savior.

:1orglaugh Nice.

I believe in god but dont go to church.

I feel you dont have to go to church to "prove" your faith in god.

I should......

Only for weddings. Also when I am visiting cities or towns I like to check the local church.

Only when I go back home to visit my parents. My dad is very involved with their church so I go out of respect to him.

I used to go just to meet the super sluts who would go out whoring on Fri/Sat nights and run to the late service on Sunday :)

It cost me a hell of a lot less than going to the clubs. I only had to pay a few bucks in gas and $5 bill for the collection plate. Plus there were often refreshments at church (which are free). Those church ladies really know how to bake. Yummy!

So compare $8 drinks, cover charge, parking etc etc and most likely not getting laid to paying about $8 total to be able to sit and talk to hotties at church.

The trick to finding the churches with the trendy whores is to just go to the nearest-mega church that gets lots of play in the media. Something like the Saddleback Church in California. :2 cents: Hot club whores almost never go to the little neighborhood churches.

Now I have a girlfriend so for now I am too lazy to troll for babes.

Don't forget the meatballs... if your going to make a sacrifice... it better be made right.

Jesus is lord!

The last thing I want to do is walk into a building full of hypocrites. Especially when there's one big hypocrite standing on an elevated platform running his mouth about a bunch of made up characters while holding his hand out. I did date a preachers daughter once though. One of the freakiest chicks I ever dated. I think she was trying to make the guinness book of world records for fetishes and sinning. Only church function i went to with her was bowling with the church team. I had never played before and beat the whole team. lol Looking back on it now I think it may have been some sort of cult initiation attempt.

I drive by one almost every sunday.

Told this before, so whats one more time?
When I was a kid and altar boy, Father MIke had a bunch of us over to the rectory basement to plan out the next activity. We'd have dances and go camping and field trips etc, pretty cool. But he proceeded to break out a bag of weed and pack a bowl and get high, then send us to the store for some smokes for him and some chips and sodas.

:thumbsup well said i couldn't agree with you more.

really u can pray at any time

mmm I don't. But I find it rather amusing to find people who work in the adult industry who consider themselves "religious" or as some may call it even "spiritual" ..... almost every religion out there (except for Satanism) strongly opposes the production of adult content YET they don't seem to realize that they themselves are the biggest consumers of the product such sinful industry produces ... yeap, bunch of hypocrites.

The bottom line is that working in the adult industry and going to church every (Sat or Sun) while at it = the biggest contradiction ever.

I have not been to church on a sunday in 21 years.. other than weddings and funerals after that.. I don't plan on going to church any time soon either, I'm Agnostic.

i can honestly say that i have never been in one, not one single time!!!
nor will i ever.

I haven't been to church since I was like 11 years old.. So 24 years ago.

Ever? Not molesting kids and being a priest or being a serial killer and still being in the church choir? Nope, peddling some smut and going to church is the biggest one ever for sure.

I don't think the churches have anything to do with it. I like how Dawkins puts it in his book "The God Delusion". There are no Catholic children or Muslim children or (fill in the religion) children, but there ARE children of Catholic parents and Muslim parents and (fill in the religion) parents. Parents indoctrinate their religion onto their children not churches, they merely re-enforce the brainwashing the parents started.

And if parents just drop their kids off there to get them out of their hair... Well those are parents who don't deserve kids and akin to child abuse.
:2 cents:

not since I graduated from a catholic high school 94

growing up withthe catholic guilt. now i go to the church of the undead. lol

Same here... Definitely must be a Catholic thing... :1orglaugh

mmm I called that the biggest "contradiction" ever after giving it some though.... however what you describe above is called a "crime" ... and one that deserves capital punishment imo...

One cool ass father :pimp

Many people have their own personal spirituality that doesn't rely on borrowing rules from retarded organized religions. I think you can be very spiritual and work in porn. Its all up to what you think is right and wrong.

so, you're not going to be going to any adult industry tradeshows??

;-)))

can you please site the specific bible passage that says "thou shalt not create porn?" or some reasonable variation thereof?

I certainly hope you're not saying you have to be spiritual to know what is right or wrong. That is the biggest bullshit excuse that the religious use for proof of their beliefs. "If there was no god or religion, how would we know what was right or wrong, how could we lead good lives. The world would be chaos without it."

Where did you read he said that is what is written in the bible? That IS a view held by any person of religion. Why? Read the bible or if you had you might remember the sins of adultery, fornication, lust, or even lying with another man, etc.

Thats not what was saying at all. I was saying people need to think for themselves, porn is only a "sin" if you think it is.

Gotcha... :thumbsup

Here are just a few, enough for you to get the drift...

Exodus 20:14
You shall not commit adultery.

Proverbs 6:32
He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

Matthew 5:27-28
You have heard that it was said, ?You shall not commit adultery;? but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Or don?t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don?t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals...

Galatians 5:21
envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 & 1 Corinthians 7:1-2

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

:upsidedow

I go if I know they'll be playing those massive pipe organs, that always empresses the hell out of me, wicked sounding instrument for such a holy place

i may catch on fire :(

God loves porn, even butt porn, he invented sex.

I don't get how a crime isn't a contradiction and a contradiction can't be a crime? To me, contradiction suggests that doing one thing and another clash against each other. So, therefore, those that go to church having committed things such as molesting kids or having killed somebody are taking part in a contradiction too and I would suggest that is a bigger deal than porn. I would also say that there are many people that go to church every week that work to sell arms, that work for tobacco companies, etc. So, there are many people that do things where 'the church' might not like.

If somebody feels they believe in Christian values, why should they let a bunch of snobby people from the congregation look down on them and stop them expressing their faith? Most, people I know that go to church are fantastic people. The really finger wavers are few and far between. That is said, as somebody that goes to church once every couple of years.

are you also touched by his noodly appendage?

Dude, I can't walk into a fucking church. :1orglaugh

If I did decide to walk into a church, the demons would probably manifest from within my soul and create total fucking chaos in that place.
