Mine? Sunday mornings free.

I love going grocery shopping on Sundays. All the Christians are in church and I can get in and out of there quickly.

How about you?

My knees are grateful. Even as a kid I used to groan when it was time to do the kneeling thing. The pews had really rough benches on which to kneel. Up...down....up....down....up....down. I was really grateful when it was time for the priest to turn around and tell us to go (it was in Latin in those days).

No, they still celebrate Christmas. It's all about the presents dontcha know. Rudolph, santa, frosty.

Just take a stroll through the stores at that time of year. Not a baby jesus in sight.

You just need to become a Methodist. A couple of songs, sermon and the lords prayer and we're out of there.

Atheist or no, everybody worships something. Some of us worship God. Others worship money.

Sorry, I don't worship money. But, I do know those that claim to worship a "God", but worship money instead (Bush, Cheney, etc).

Does that count?

It's the same with most Christians, as well.

There you go, I had no choice of course but that sounds eminently more sensible to me :D
