Jesus Christ! How fucking depressing! I cannot begin to explain how terribly saddening the whole ordeal was. The congregation is tiny, there were maybe about twenty people there and 99% of them were over the age of 90. The seating was sponsored by some demented torture enthusiast and I was shocked to hear the reverend implicitly diss Jewish people by mentioning something of John the Baptist trying to save them from their "cocoon of privilege". Everytime he said Amen I thought the world was going to end (he sounded like Darth Sidious). He tries to seem very pious but that just makes him all the more senile looking. His rapid eye movement further emphasise his senility. It was hell having to shake his hand. What saddens me the most is to think that my dear 27 year old sister is involved with these geriatric sad cases. |

This time of year, my church is filled with people that don't usually go, including me. Can't find a seat. I don't think it's too bad or anything. |

I guess I'm overly sensitive to the whole thing. I had this overwhelming sense of futility throughout the whole service. If the world had to end right there, would all this matter? I'm not really one for living life to the fullest, I like things simple, but to me it seemed that there had to be something more to the celebration of life than that. Not to mention I disagree with just about everything being said. Who's to say I'm not worthy? I'm worthy of just about anything as much as the next guy, including the Jews. |

Okay, I hate to put words into people's mouths. The reverend did not say that Jews aren't worthy. He had this air about him that "we" are better off that irked me. |

The One-God religions often have a superiority complex... the CHOSEN ones. |

Don't be to hard on the man. It's actually Jewish doctrine that they are chosen people, he probably just has God-envy. ;) I'm religious, but I've never found a church I've been 100% (or even remotely close) to being happy with. On one end of the structure, dour, humourless and boring; on the other, 'In your face' zeal and hypocrisy. You also get a healthy dose of politics and power struggles at both sorts too. I don't go any more, apart from at Christmas and I must admit, I'd probably still go for the atmosphere/tradition, even if I was an atheist. Bit of a shame as there have been times when I have really enjoyed church and even had a couple of "religious experiences" in various ones. |

the only reason for me to go into a church this year is to enjoy a classical concert with works from mozart, rachmaninov and schubert. thanks christians for building something with nice accoustics. God would be proud, had he existed. |

I like churches, they are pretty cool. It depends where you go and who's telling you the shit I guess. I'll go for mass once in a blue moon, but it's not to free god but to participate in the act of communal thought. Not sheep like but everyone at the same time doing there thing... it's like a BBQ or something. It's pretty cool. Then again we got some awesome churches in like Castlevania. |
