EW EW EW EW - I just got invited to a "Church Social"

[HEyHEY]

"It's in your age group, you should come and meet some of the people"


EWE EW EW - Like I wanna hang out with those dorks. I'll be busy that day drinking and fornecating.... well :-( drinking anyway.

I always have a hard time not laughing at such invites.

[truthspeaker]

1. Invited by whom?

[HEyHEY]

2. A local Preacher's wife

Little strumpet ;-)

[Fenris]

3. "You like mindless yuppie zombies, don't you? Come on by!"

[HEyHEY]

5. Yes, maybe I'll meet a nice white christian girl to settle down with and

have kids until I blow my fucking head off from boredom

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. Maybe there'll be some hot repressed bible-chicks.

}( (ducks and hides)

[HEyHEY]

7. "Hey baby, ever tried drugs?"

You'll like, seeee god

[Screaming Lord Byron]

15. 'No, really, it's all here in the Song of Solomon.'

'You have to have sex with me. For little baby Jesus' sake'.

[supernova]

6. Depends on the church

I've been known to attend a church function or two and I'm definitely not a dork.

[HEyHEY]

8. Baptists?

I just refer to all churchy types my age as dorks.

[Fenris]

9. RUN!

[HEyHEY]

12. I should show and say "WHo wants to dance!?"

[Fenris]

17. I thought Baptists didn't drink.

Maybe I'm wrong. If they don't you should show with a case of Molson.

[HEyHEY]

21. And ask who wants to blaze a dube

[supernova]

18. Baptists? EEEK!

Run away! Run away! :D

'Course Canadian Baptists may be very different from SBC Baptists, which is what I'm familiar with.

[matcom]

[HEyHEY]

11. I've got till ONE!

[HEyHEY]

16. oooohh yes I would

;-)

[mark11727]

19. I'll be over right after the biweekly puppy sacrifices over at the coven

Hey, a feller's got to eat, right?

[mark11727]

22. TSHIRT: "I'm just here for the free wine 'n' cookies"

[HEyHEY]

23. excellent idear

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Be careful....They suck you in with the pancakes and sausage

The next thing you know, you're going door to door with a grim smile and glassy eyes.

....Orrrr, She wants a "bad boy" experience.

[SoCalDem]

26. Go... you might actually meet some nice people

:)

Just let them know that you are not interested in joining their church..(right now)..(give them some hope)..

If you make a few friends, who knows, you might end up meeting someone THROUGH them...

The ripple effect :)

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

27. Eh, shrug

some aren't bad. I've even been known to attend a church function or two and I didn't burst into flames.

But Baptist? Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, nope.

Still, it might be kinda interesting from the point of view of going into the trenches and listening to some seriously screwed up conversation. That's how I always approached it.

In the interest of full disclosure I am a Christian. Just not a big church person.

[guitar man]

28. Why the hell not

You might have fun. The last one I went to, I made a batch of brownies for everyone. :evilgrin:

[name not needed]

29. Wear this shirt

Or These:

[neverborn]

30. Yay misogynistic drivel. /yawn

[TXlib]

31. You know, the hostility is not productive

I am an agnostic atheist (I do not believe in any gods, but i can't say I believe no gods can/do exist - that would require complete and perfect knowledge of the universe).

Although I will push back if somebody tries to push their belief structure on me, or if their brand of belief is potentially pernicious nonsense that could hurt others, I leave them alone, oterwise.

My wife (KCDem) is a liberal christian. Her father is a retired Presbyterian pastor, which makes her mom a pastor's wife. I don't have a problem with any of them, and often have good philosophical discussions with my father-in-law.

If I were single, I wouldn't turn down the invite. I wouldn't misrepresent myself to them, either, and if they could accept me as is, without annoying me with attempts to convert me, then I'd be happy to be a part of their social scene.

That being said, I have to add that even in a liberal christian church, I feel uncomfortable because i feel that if i told them I am an atheist, I would end up feeling like i don't belong.

[daligirrl]

32. Sounds good. . .

they'll have lots of home made pies, pickles and jellies! Are you some type of freak?
