All i can say is my best friend was Catholic and i liked him..drunk..got stoned...fought against other guys with him..a true friend...i like Steve who writes on the mature thread and who is catholic and i can read into his posts that he is a Family man and loves his Family..THAT IS IMPORTANT.

Went one Sunday and the church had Mike Murdock as a guest minister that day. For those that don't know Mike Murdock is a prosperity preacher along the likes of Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar etc..Anyway he does his whole God wants you to be rich schtick, plays the piano and hawks his "prosperity keys" book for a 50.00 "love seed". You could also buy the book for 8.00 and his Millionaire course pack, after the service as they had a booth set up in the main hallway. All in all when they took up an offering for him he took in over 30k.. yes that's right over 30,000 IN CASH for an hours work of preaching. The reason i know this is because the pastor of the church was upset the following sunday because the church's regular offering was a lot less than what Mike Murdock got for his offering that night. So the pastor made a new rule. There would be seperate lines for what ever you had to give each Sunday. A line for tithes..A line for offerings.. and another line for what ever you wanted to give again. I remember one Sunday He had six individual lines for people who wanted to give 100 bucks on down to a penny. REDICULOUS..

these lines are nothing new---go to those Mega-churches, you'll see more people trying to buy their way into heaven...The preachers are scammers, it's one of the reasons why Michael Baisden has a term "Pimps in the Pulpit"...
To me, the preacher/pastor/exhalted leader should be the most pious looking person, not the head of his scam organization...
"prosperity" pleaser, the only people that prosper are them and the people who work for them.
"God wants you to be a millionaire", please---I'll wager that if there was a God, that God wouldn't give a damn about how rich you were, as its man who values wealth, God who values Virtue and Character.

Keep to a minimum as you are you dont need a church to do the right thing, what pisses me off about churches is they teach not being materialistic then build these huge ass buildings and ask for your money.

As long as the Church is making a difference in the community and not just hoarding money, then I dont have a problem with building nice buildings.

I guess its OK to give money to all the worldly crap like porn and violence.....

waste of a fucking sunday

You can pretty much attend church 7 days a week in person, online, on tv or in the privacy of your home by yourself.....you can pick the time if Sunday is inconvenient. Don't have to dress up, don't have to give money, don't have to sit in a big lavish building, don't have to sit in a small building, don't have to sit in a medium size building, can pick and choose what you'd like to learn about, can pick the music, choose no music....customize it however you please.

Only a moron wastes the time going to church. Devoting any time to religion other than ridiculing it is an exercise in ignorant futility.

I've probably been exposed to the Catholic Church as much as anyone on here. I went to a Catholic grade school, high school, and college. I started questioning it with my parents in about 7th grade. I would always cause problems in high school religion classes with my ultra liberal teachers too. The older I get and the more "aware" of the world I become, the more I see what a fucking scam the whole church is. I would constantly see hypocrisies within their teachings and just complete BS in their church doctrine. It has very little to do with the teachings of Jesus anymore. It is really just one big system to control people. I am agnostic now, I believe in God, but I don't believe Jesus was his son at all lol. His resurrection is believed to be a myth and if it wasn't, I guarantee it could be figured out by modern day science in about 15 minutes.

You are still a moron, just slightly less of one (see bolded highlight). Hope this helps and I hope you snap out of it one day.

I go every week. Does not bother me one bit.

A lot of it makes me think and I question it at times but ultimately I always remain going.

She's pregnant right? Yes, she probably wants to "show" that she has a supportive man and also when it's time for the Baptism, you're not an unfamiliar figure. How long are the services? An hour is reasonable, thus taking only about 2 hours out of your day (travel, fellowship time, etc.). If you're home by noon, it's not too unreasonable. Beyond that... I can see it being a PITA

It can be a good networking opportunity...

Pure beta.

Look, you don't want to go to church? Don't go. How tough is that? It is obvious you don't believe in God or at the very least organized worship of God, so why bother faking it? You come here and whine like a wimp about a woman "nagging" you so you "...have to go like once in a month or two months".

Actually your worse than beta, ergo I'm downgrading you to omega.
