Even as a Catholic, with <I>only</I> 3 churches, I had the choice of 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 11 AM, Noon, 5:30 PM, 6:30PM or 7PM. That 7:00 mass was full of charismatics, though, so it was usually a last resort.<BR/><BR/>Of course, as a Catholic I could pick whichever church/service I liked and it would be pretty much the same. I guess it's different for weirdo non-denominational Protestants. It occurs to me that one would probably stay with the same church with the same pastor and the same congregation every week.

Unless you count Moses and company jogging over the sand on the Red Sea floor and all the other walking around people did before cars. No soccer, no golf, no reason to think God gives any damn at all if your team makes it to the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>For Sandra Plate, and others like her, the benefits of a life dedicated to God outweigh any rational argument to the contrary. They push their children into church-sanctioned fun instead, mingling with other children whose parents think the same way. <BR/><BR/>Here's a link to quotes thrown together by someone who was probably always last choice for T-Ball teams and got fed up with it: http://home.earthlink.net/~thogmi/sports/sports.html<BR/><BR/>Anyone who'd write, "Sports are dung, slime, and human feces," had to have had some kind of bad experience, surely...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-14160091521001653952008-10-26T13:30:00.000-04:002008-10-26T13:30:00.000-04:00Well, if it was a church where they speak in tongu...Well, if it was a church where they speak in tongues and dance in the aisles after becoming possessed, that could be considered exercise, right? :)tina FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037896362034609151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35315805.post-15824902543074342472008-10-26T11:21:00.000-04:002008-10-26T11:21:00.000-04:00And considering that more and more kids are overwe...And considering that more and more kids are overweight, I'd say it is unhealthy to encourage them to sit on their ass instead of running around outside.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164619076936332568noreply@blogger.com
