Maybe not Catholic...but many protestant congregations. <br /><br />We play poker and euchre (childhood aversion to bridge.) Some wear hats.

It's gonna look fabulous! And the new gay minister can start up a beauty salon in one of the buildings and style hair during the week as a side business. <br /><br />Come people! Stereotyping is fun! LOL <br /><br />I think Scott has a great idea too. The men can play poker and even set up a blackjack table while the women play bridge. And the kids can play on the slot machines. They'll love all the noises and lights and fun stuff like that. ;-)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28601411.post-63033800362705349242009-08-22T07:26:08.961-04:002009-08-22T07:26:08.961-04:00Clay: Ha.

I'm a Christian as well but I am vehemently anti-organized religion. When I pray, I do it within the privacy of my own mind.<br /><br />I am also a devout Taoist. Of course that is more of a philosophy than a religion.

Would she be a ministress or just a mistress? <br />Believe it or not, I am a Christian. I’ve just never ‘gotten’ church. In the past it was always just another way for the government to control and keep tabs on people. From what I’ve seen, church folk are some of the worst people on the planet. Like I’ve said before; I think that if Jesus were alive today, he’d be more of a Buddhist. So why do people still go? Are they lonely? I wonder if we could get rich by opening Sunday card clubs in every city in every country. They could have a Friday fish fry, a monthly bake sale, and a 10% of your salary suggested donation. Black ladies could still wear their hats. White women could still gossip and bitch about their kids. And there’d be card games!! Sounds like paradise to me!!Scott Oglesbyhttp://zodiblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28601411.post-22330560989957821792009-08-22T01:42:54.378-04:002009-08-22T01:42:54.378-04:00LOLOLOLOLOL.... religion is so entertaining...LOLOLOLOLOL.... religion is so entertaining...Clay Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978442361257782495noreply@blogger.com
