		<description>Heh, probably days late for this, but couldn&#039;t keep it to myself: 

&quot;Guess where I put the &#039;holy&#039; Eucharist you gave me. And no, it wasn&#039;t in my mouth.&quot; 

Never even contemplated doing this, but boy would that piss off the whole church!</description>

		<description>It seems like there is about no way to avoid going to hell.  Since that&#039;s the case, why do I have to sit here every Sunday and listen for two hours about this horrible place that I can&#039;t avoid going to anyway?  Why?  Why?</description>

		<description>If I believe that Jesus is God come to earth in the form of a man then why do I have to also believe that he was born of a virgin and that he rose from the dead?  Aren&#039;t those just magic tricks to dazzle the morons in the crowd?</description>

		<description>As someone who converted to be an evangelical in my teens, but then went to Christian churches that were progressively more liberal, I have to say that, at the last church I attended before ditching the whole thing, the following statements would have been completely acceptable:

* I support civil unions for homosexual couples (actually, at that particular church, there tended to be more gay weddings than straight ones)

* I just had a drink last night and it tasted really good. (Drinking alcohol in moderation was completely acceptable)

* I vehemently support a woman’s right to choose.

* Women are not sperm receptacles or reproductive tools. Men shouldn’t automatically be the heads of the household just because they are men.</description>

		<description>I agree with Andrew. &quot;I don&#039;t want any peace, and don&#039;t touch me.&quot;

Also, &quot;how do you people know what to say and when to stand or sing?&quot; It&#039;s like going to Rocky Horror for the first time, except without the squirt guns. Or anything else that keeps you awake.</description>

		<description>Wait a minute, Jeb. I thought you said there weren&#039;t gonna be no killin&#039;.

This is also useful for getting to the front of slow-moving lines at grocery stores and theaters.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;We get into church, and still he keeps at it; by now I’m really pissed. In the middle of the Homily, Kenny is still going. Able to take no more, I yelled as loud as I could, “Would you just  shut up?!”&lt;/blockquote&gt;I&#039;ve actually thought that about the preacher at my parents&#039; church so many times.  I&#039;ve also always wanted to ask &quot;Why are you all such bigots?&quot;</description>
