I love conversations that start "You really need to find a church to attend."

1. Hahahahaha! That's usually about the time I tell them I'm ordained as a Universal Life Church minister. .

2. Yeah. Pushy people suck. Everyone has to live their own life and make their own choices.

   People who try to force (any) beliefs on anyone need to be taken out and shot.

3. Ooh! What did you do?

4. Yeah, I'm really struggling to think of a reason why someone would say that (okay, a good reason).

5. +DeAnna Knippling just family being family.

6. I was hoping for a witty rejoinder.

7. Sorry. It wasn't super fun. :-/

8. Ugh.

9. When people tell me that I usually blame my wife for not "having" a church. I then go on to mention that I think church is a great place for social networking, but that I think the bible is nothing more than a book of mans collected wisdom. :)

10. There are, unfortunately, quite a few examples that work against the 'assembled wisdom' conceit.* Tenacious doesn't mean worthy, as the man said.

    (* Granted, there are many passages that are pretty good, and people I know who've mined the book and assembled – for themselves – a personal code that I find downright admirable. Unfortunately, they're either in the minority or part of a reserved majority.)

    As I said, I know wonderful people who've found that it works for them. The problem I have is when someone assumes since it worked for them it must therefore be the right thing for everyone – like some rabidly enthusiastic Weight Watchers member.

11. Ugh… weight watchers. ;)
