OH OH OH I have a funny story.
When I was little I used to be one of those church kids (Lutheran too, funnily enough.). Anyway. 5 years old, first year in the pageant, the older kids were helping us get into our costumes, and I was a lamb. And put the costume on backwards. Which meant the little sausauge shaped lamb tail was in front, making it look like I was a little girl with a penis.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten over that moment. Sigh.

I hate church. Makes me want to hurt myself.

This is the second time in two posts that balls bouncing off chins have been mentioned. I like it.

Jesus Church
Jesus is different than church. AKA The catholic church.
Not that i am admitting that Jesus exists.

Entertaining as your story was, church isn’t bad u will not get struck or burn that’s just your God speaking to u through your guilt coming in haha I believe it gives you hope when all is lost I suppose you guys just have had bad experiences don’t Don’t judge Jesus by what u see in people though ..

I spent New Years Eve with my family for the 1st time in 10 years…so it was pretty mild. That is until I started getting texts that said ‘When I’m too drunk to type I’m going to call you’.

Those calls were fun!

I feel like the church is going to fall in and God is going to smite me every time I walk into a church. Unfortunately, I had to go into a church Christmas 2007 for my nephews. Worst. Experience. Of. My. Life.

I would much rather sleep in on Sunday.

Religion and I have been on the outs for over 10 years now. I will never step into a church again not for fear of being struck down but for fear of being beaten by church goers for laughing at what ever is being said because of the pure ridiculousness that is religion.

Sounds like a pretty awful experience! What part did your little nephew play? I hope it was the sweet innocent child that was oblivious to what was happening around him part.

It’s shocking but true – churches have become the places where children are indoctrinated to develop a politicized belief system that flies in the face of the First amendment rights. Worse still. the parents of these kids are insisting that their religion be taught in public schools from kindergarten to grade 12.

“If you have religious tolerance or respect other religions you technically don’t believe in anything because you don’t have complete faith in one thing. (aka if you don’t believe in Jesus go fuck yourself).”

“That the mayor in the play and the town people were in trouble because they wouldn’t let the characters in the play have their pageant in the town square. Basically if you couldn’t display your beliefs for all the town to see everyone else was going to suffer.”

Your article clearly states the reasons that I refuse to enter churches and witness what goes on in them.
