I gave up pcefx for Lent.

I blame the devil for this horrid affair with FacialBook and InstaShite.

Just to give credit where credit is due, "FacialBook" was sparky's joke comrade. I know you heard it from me first and took a liking to it, but I should not let you continue to think I was responsible for that creativity. ;)

I made it through my Lent abstinence but probably didn't get that much out of it.  Didn't even go to church for Easter, but I made it last week.

My daughter loves church because she has somehow associated it with the donuts afterwards.

Let me be the first atheist to admit that I would go to church if I was guaranteed donuts and coffee.

Amen.

The churches I went to as a kid always had free coffee and sometimes donuts!

I have been to a few that actually sell coffee...that’s a little too close to business in a house of worship to me. I’m not personally offended, but it’s quite hypocritical.

Some friends go to a church with two hour services with a half hour "intermission" for coffee and donuts right in the middle.  I love me some donuts, but damn... two hours?!?

Still, I almost feel cheated only getting a little cracker.  :mrgreen:

Churches have come a long way. These days its commonplace for them to prominently feature same-sex couple make out tents right next to the smoking section.

God bless America.

I agnostically abstain from abstaining. Though my dad only had fish on Friday growing up and when I was younger I did go church occasionally. Not too regularly but I went to a church school so it was like going every day.

Fun fact: back in the day, the church declared that beavers were fish.  The reason?  So the pope could eat beavers on the sabbath.  No innuendo intended.

:lol:

So that was true, ha! I thought your denial of innuendo was sarcasm!
