Why are religious people so forgetful?

Why do most religious people go to church several times a week and surely on Sunday? Is it that they forgot that last Sunday the preacher/priest said that sin is not good? Makes me wonder.

That is Human Nature, Red Cloud.

I have a friend who is "Born Again," and, while his theological views are somewhat different than mine, I can NOT say that he does not live the life.

Actually, I know many people that way. And, yes, I know plenty of folks who go to Church, and then 'put it on a shelf.' (Your's Truly, being somewhat guilty of that, I readily admit....)

It is just a part of being an imperfect species.

We'll get better....IF we last.....

Doc, if we don't get better it won't be for lack of room to do so.

Ain't that the truth!

But, we, as a species, HAVE 'gotten better.'

Some of the places on this Earth, where we see the most brutal of regimes, were 'typical,' if not worse, a thousand years ago....

Hell, I am one of the first to marvel at the Glory that was Rome, BUT...they basically had a Militaristic Society built on Hedonism and Trade....
 
Maybe they reckon that the next time they go to chuch their favourite sin will have been become a virtue! :)

A guy once asked me if I knew what a farmerette was. I said I figured she was a young lass who lived on a farm and he said, "well, sort of. A farmerette is a farm gal who sows wild oats all week, then the goes to church on Sunday and prays for a crop failure".

I don't go to church at all, but I do try not to ever sin. Operative word "try".

I have a grand suggestion. Let's all of of who don't go to church not go together. It might be fun. We could have an annual "not go to church together" picnic and we could host fundraisers using bibles we swiped by motels as sale items. And don't forget those prayer meetings. Sound like fun? I suppose we could not try to not sin for some occasions.

Minx--err I mean Jen, Gordon is not a Priest and is under no obligation to keep your confession secret. I, on the other hand can absolve you of all wrongdoing. Just take off your clothes... uh, er, I mean shoes and step into my confessional booth. I'll forgive you of all past sins and give you an IOU on some future ones.

Sounds like you are on something there, Gramps. It's probably illegal so keep a sharp eye out for the cops!
 
Make no mistake, Gramps. I am a Christian and I have raised 4 children into upstanding adulthood not by telling them how to speak and act but by showing them as best I could. God is the top priority in my life. TOP. We did go to church (Methodist) when they were children. I played the keyboards (piano, organ, electric) and my husband taught a Sunday School class. But church eventually let us down so we moved on. But ........... I'm up for the picnic!

Jen, glad that you are walking the walk and not just talking the talk. I've heard that the only difference between the Methodists and Baptists is that the Methodists will speak to you in the liquor store.
 
From what I've heard that's true.............that Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store, but I can't verify that to be true. I don't mind being seen in a liquor store.

To be taken back to Calvary, to give thanks for the sacrifice, celebrate the victory, and most of all to receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ.
