For my brother-in-law whom was getting baptised. Wow, I must say what a sad day when we have to say a "money prayer" to help us feel better about giving money to the church. It went something like this.....
"God bless this money im giving. Help it to give me good tax return, job puposals, investments, bonuses, raises, etc....etc" you get the idea...
I wanted to walk out after I read that prayer. I mean here we have about 500 people in this church on a Sat night service just raising their hands and really praying this money prayer. I wouldnt of had any problem about this prayer had it said ANYTHING about: longevity of life, health, watch over children, etc.
That shit just bothered me...flat out.
then
I went to a Catholic church. My son is taking first communion classes and my wife was to sick to take him to his classes. So I took him. I sat thru the service, which was one of those typical " Satan ruins all things" services but at the same time it wasnt bad. Then after the 45 minute service I had to go downstairs to take my son to class. he goes to class and the parents come upstairs and the priest wanted to go over the whole process of a service......basically everything from the time you walk in a catholic service and spray yourself with holy water to the time he tells you to "go in peace" means something!!!! And I mean everything.
The funny part is this. I sat there with all these parents, right? Most of which were in there 30-40 and 50's. So I was younger than most. while going over the whole process of a service, the priest asked this question:
Who called jesus the lamb of god?
I whispered to myself, John the baptist.
A whole 30 seconds goes by (which is a long time to wait for a answer) and NO ONE knew!!!!! So I say at the exact same time as the priest John the baptist. And he was like, oh you knew!!! Good for you. bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
So I win some sort of lint prayer book. But this is why im telling this story.
Here we have a athiest in the middle of a catholic church surrounded by Catholics who have been practicing since they were born, possibly, and no one knew the answer....
ok, I guess you would've had to be there.
hahaha
