#1 Proving they don't really care about human rights. Human rights is just a cover story for advancing their lame ideology.

#2 We were Episcopalians, then when they placed politics above religion we became Presbyterians and now we just aren't going to church. We were looking for a new church - but this whole disinvestiment thing really turned me off. They won't need or get the chance to disinvest our money.

I'd like to go to church - but if they aren't going to make Christianity their focus, what's the point?

#3 Herein lies the chief reason why my particular church (an ELCA church) has few attendees on Sunday and rarely ever a fullhouse outside of Christmas and Easter. On any given Sunday, the demographics of those who do attend skew heavily to the gray-side. Meanwhile across town, Willow Creek Community Church needs overflow parking, Harvest Bible Chapel has offshoots in three or four different communities in the Chicago area, and so on.

I think my pastor can do with a reading of In, But Not Of.

#4 Go one of two ways:

As a Catholic, I invite you to come back to the mother Church - the Catholic Church has changed - and it is very welcoming of converts - after all, the Church began with Converts, like Paul. And converts have helped change the Church recently as well. Most parishes are starting their RCIA programs up around this time of year if you wish to convert.

Or...

Find a good small-community independant protestant church - some of those store-front Baptist/Bible churches are pretty bad, but some are quite excellent - keep trying one until you find a good one. They are highly dependant upon having a good pastor, so when they are good, they are very good. Ask around.

#5 I think that I will worship at the temple of Sony, best church I can think of.

#6 Being nasty to the Boss' relatives --- very, very smart.

#7 Bring back the worship of the ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess "BAST".
