4. They nailed it---not a thing to do on Sunday. Except
sleep in, enjoy the sun, take a nap with my cats, see what's up on DU. Beats getting up early, getting dressed nice enough to be seen in public, and having to socialize with all the church ladies. I feel it coming on though---that grumpiness and bitterness is seeping into my lost soul. And as to lashing out at kids, well, if they need it.

11. I went bowling.
But first we went out for lunch. The after-church crowd packed the diner, and we were the only ones in shorts.

18. You must live somewhere old school
Last time I went to a Catholic mass several years ago half the people there were in shorts and many in t-shirts. Guys wearing flip flops. This in an area where most congregants wear a suit and tie to work. I was shocked.

I grew up in a strictly Catholic family. Priests were held to be a level above ordinary men. I don't even pretend to be a Catholic anymore but I still think one should look presentable in church to show respect to the priest/pastor.

7. Lol Peg!
Unfortunately I have plenty to do on Sundays, since it is a workday for me...but I had last Sunday off and had a wonderful day riding on a train, sightseeing, drinking Irish coffee in an Irish pub...a very pleasant Sunday.

Lol, I did actually visit a cathedral too (no lightning struck!)

8. My dear cwydro!
Glad I made you laugh, sweetie!

Sorry you have to work on Sundays. I used to do that too...

Someday, you'll be retired, and free...

Last Sunday sounded like a real treat!

:hug:

19. You work on the Sabbath?


Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend homosexuality, for example, I will simply remind him or her that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other laws in Leviticus and Exodus and how to best follow them. To wit:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Leviticus 1: 9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as stated in Exodus 21: 7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Leviticus 15:19-24). The problem is, how can I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Leviticus 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Canadians, but not Mexicans. Can you clarify?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine says that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Leviticus 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Leviticus 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

9. Actually
it's kinda fun to go camping for a week or two and after I've been in the woods without anything like a shower or a razor, drop by the local Cracker Barrel just after noon on Sunday just in time to catch the "after church crowd".

Atheism can be fun...

Don't talk to them kids, just report their whereabouts and movements to us.

I won't even lash out at my inner child.

22. I like to spend the morning in bed, possibly engaged in some sin or another,
followed by a nice long day of lounging, reading, a dinner with a glass of wine.

It's a hard, hard secular existence :)

23. Grouchy? Are you fucking kidding me?
My Sundays are awesome. I wake up around nine, make a kick-ass breakfast and coffee, watch some 30 rock on DVD, clean a bit then go for beers. Fuck that shit. You religious folks spend Sunday hearing about what a bunch of sluts and dirtbags you are, like that's gonna put me in the mood for a BBQ. That's why family dinners are Sunday, everyone feels so shitty afte church, you may as well get all the shitty-ness done in one day.

26. Atheists who want a community on Sunday go to Unitarian-Universalist churches.
Some people don't know that.

27. I grew up attending a UU church
We had a few athiests. One of them liked to sub for the minister and give the Sunday sermon every now and then.

All the little kid ministers who come round here go right into the stew pot.

29. I usually have 100 things or more to do on Sunday. I am always
happy, joyous, and free.
My two "jeezus" buddies are always gloomy, morose, and depressed.
More of the usual 'jeesus' baloney.
Or god, or bible.

32. Yet we still get the day off!
Go figger.

I don't go to Friday prayer at the mosque; I can cook and turn the lights on and off after dark on Friday; I don't hafta sing Sunday morning or hear some idiot try to sing.

Trust me, it doesn't suck. But thanks for the sympathy; enjoy your sunrise service!

33. i think thats a fair statement. most atheists i know are more grouchy.
its because we cant blame the worlds problems on divine order, karma or other horseshit. that and the knowledge that nothing bad will happen to dick cheney, when he dies, he will have personally lived a wonderful life while destroying so many lives.
