Ex-SD: I stopped in a grocery store in Fayetteville (circa 1987) following a run. I was wearing one of my old football jerseys (from a Catholic HS). I pass this nice (appearing) little old lady and nod. She looks me dead in the eye and calls me an anti-Christ. No s**t. I was floored. I could have had a pentagram tattooed on my forehead, and could’ve been throttling a helpless child and not drawn a stronger reaction. And she said the word with utter venom.
Yup, them Baptists is a mite serious about (their version of) God.
What is truly funny is the number of honky tonk bars that absolutely rock on Saturday nights. Booze, drugs, fighting and carousing, and then the same group is in church the following morning. Course, as a Catholic, I probably shouldn’t be pointing any fingers in that respect.

January 19, 2008 at 10:28 AM #138745ArtyParticipantEvery organized religions have some points to them, and that’s why people believes in them. I think the problem is that because it is organized, they are all prone to manipulation by individuals or groups to serve their own selfish purposes. I still stands that ORGANIZED RELIGIONS ARE FOR THE WEAK MINDED PEOPLE. That’s why they are offended when someone disagree with their believes. I am cool as long as you don’t force your believes on others. Personally, I am agnostic but not an atheist.
Btw, the things that Scientology believes come very close to Chinese myths. The founders of Chinese civilization came from the sky riding on a dragon (long body dragon without wings), and defeated (killed) an equally powerful enemy capable of manipulating weathers and elements.
