I have two bitches on my offering plate tonight:
:P
After going to Christmas mass today for the first time in eons :rolleyes:
I realized why my appearances at church are rare, if at all, to say the least...
My first beef: Why is it, that parents insist on taking their screaming,whiney & very vocal young children to church. No wonder catholics are the way they are ...lol..Jk..I'm catholic.:angel:
But seriously...for those that choose to go to church to do some heavy duty praying...how in God's name can one think, let alone HEAR the priest while he's preaching, above the kids...
..And then you have the parents of these children, and you wonder what they are getting out of the service, while they juggle "Little Herby Jr. or Mary Boo Boo" in their arms, consoling them, bribing them, walking to the back of the church to pull their arm with a possible slap on the ass to shut them up as it echos throughout the church...then walking their sorry selves back to their pew...to start up once again once the chocolate bar disappears...and I'm not talking about that "mars bar" from a previous thread lol...
It just seems to me that it'd be pointless to go to church if you have to take a child that won't shut up...
To disturb an entire congregation just to prove that you can make church, just bothers the hell out of me...
Its almost as bad as when Catholics go to church on Saturdays so they don't have to get their lazy asses out of bed on a Sunday after partying all night..
What day did God set aside for the Sabbath anyhow? :confused:
