I went to church on Sunday for the first time I can remember since I was a child.  Besides weddings and funerals and stuff of course.  I really enjoyed it.  I think I will go back.

I can't think of a worse way to spend a Sunday morning.

I doubt that. 

[star seed 7]

What was enjoyable? (srs question)

[mocat]

if nothing else it's a great time to meditate

Brunch is waaaaaay overrated.

As a Christian, I will say, Catholics are a bit odd to me. I went to Mass With Mrs. wacky's family on Christmas and I've never been so uncomfortable in my life. It was so packed, I had to stand. Also, since I didn't take their test or whatever they have to do to do communion, I got a bunch of weird looks for not going up to do it. I was pretty much a devil worshiper in their eyes. Seems a bit cult-ish.

no you weren't. even catholics don't take it if they have like sins they haven't told the pope about and did their hail marys and crap. it's pretty normal.

[catastrophe]

Plus you could just get off your ass and get in line for a blessing. Crossing your arms and bowing your head is Catholic for "no communion for me, please." Then they do a little blessing and send you on your merry way.

[catastrophe]

Also, if you went to mass on Christmas you have to understand at least 50% of the people in there probably go to church no more than twice a year, so they were probably just as uncomfortable.

What would happen if you just got in line and ate that cracker?

Catholicism is one of the less interesting sects imo. V boring

St. Mike's had like 4000 people there at the 6 pm mass.  It was way too full

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, we were at St. Joseph in Shawnee. I've always been told not to go up there by family members, but it's whatever. Can confirm I always get a dirty glare from the grandma when I don't do the kneel down thing at church and weddings.

[420seriouscat69]

But you're probably right, SD. I probably wasn't getting glares, just a bit paranoid I guess, since I felt like everyone went up there.

[CNS]

Sounds like a bunch of those churchgoers are judgemental assholes.  Is that a sin?  Maybe they need some more Jesus in their lives?  Maybe they O.D'ed on Jesus?  Maybe Jesus is like Heroin where they were super saved at first and now they are just continually going back to try to get that saved again, but try as they might, they can't get that first amt of saved to happen again? 

Whatever it is, I doubt it is even about you, Wacky.

[yoga-like_abana]

pastor at my church sounds like and looks like a pro wrestler so I really enjoy it..
the music is good but I hate Christian music even the very contemporary stuff.

[420seriouscat69]

I think old school Catholics want their kids and grandchildren to get married to other Catholics pretty badly. I think that use to be a big deal back in the day.

That's the real question isn't it?

It may be the haunting question in my life that actually gets me to church!

Among Christian religions, I would put it only behind Mormonism. Catholicism has a pretty rich history with lots of good storylines.

I've done it before. It was no big deal.

wacky, if you're gonna #blessed catholicism you're gonna have to start at st joe's

Go to a different catholic church with less trashy people.  I don't do any of that and no one GAF

[Tobias]

find the sweatiest looking bro you can next time and stare him down.  maybe flex at him on your way up there

[Rage Against the McKee]

Really, just start taking communion every week. You might get a few dirty looks from family members at first, but pretty soon they will forget you ever weren't catholic. You don't need to waste your time with any classes.
