Would you like your granddaughters to express love for you only within an hour of you giving them a $100 bill?

To extend her love for us, we just gave our 18-year-old gd $2000 before she left for Penn State...

Get a grip FFS

Can you be more specific about that "grip" or are you just out of arguments?

I often pray when I am taking crap in my bathroom. Is my bathroom a place of worship?

In the US, every hospital has a place to pray, but nobody calls it a church.

So let's define "church"

Church: a building capable of acommodating 200 or more people, owned and operated by a tax exempt Catholic organization for the sole purpose of serving the believers and where an ordained priest performs religious functions.

Now how many churches are there in Leeds?

Despite your age, I and others have to school you over and over again:

Totals Breakdown of Church Buildings / Parishes in the US:

Catholic: ~16,600 (~5% of total)
Protestant (all types): ~235,000-275,000 (~65-75%)
Other Christian: ~22,000-28,000 (~6-8%)
Unaffiliated/Independent (overlaps with above): ~100,000+ (included in Protestant estimates)

These numbers sum to approximately 356,000, aligning with the 2020 Census.

Your attacking "Catholic" (only about 5% of tax-except Christian organizations in the US) clearly shows you are full of sh*t (pun intended). You use words you cannot understand, like "prayer." Better luck next time.

Hey, stupid, my posts were about Leeds, not he US.

All churches in the US are tax exempt as long as they behave. That includes no politics.

If you and your friends have a beer, play poker, and pray, you are not tax exempt and you are not a church.

Prayer: talking to God silently or mumbling.

Good enough?

The official definition:

Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication.

Too complicated for me...

Dear God, make mommy healthy again.

That's a prayer a four-year-old kid understands and can define.

So people go to church to sit in silence... Maybe it's time to visit your local church to verify that.

This reader's comment in Daily Mail is worth posting in its entirety...hopefully without objection...

In the Bible, God is a strong and ever-present actor in the world of human affairs.

He talks audibly, he inscribes on stone, he firebombs villages, he sends his angels around, he turns people to stone, he stops the sun, he makes a new star, he creates new languages, he sends scourges and plagues, he kills people, he sends his son and gets him killed - all of this up to around 100 AD.

Then something happens- or more accurately, nothing happens- God exits the stage, he goes completely silent, does nothing whatsoever.

To any person possessing a logical mind, this is a red herring. Why would an interventionist god suddenly become impotent? And remain so for 19 highly momentous centuries?

The effort needed to answer these questions is like trying to pick an apple hanging 5 feet off the ground - the god described in the Bible is fictional.


As a father of two and a grandpa of four, the most compelling evidence that the last 8 words of the above are true is God's total and complete indifference when a little girl is being raped while her mother is watching and patiently waiting to be paid by the rapist. No, I am not making this up.

My God would evaporate the "mother" and the would-be rapist before he would get within a mile of the girl.

To add insult to the injury, popes have always been against the death penalty that their God was quick to deliver, often indiscriminately ... up to 100 AD.

From then on, God didn't give a fvck...no matter what the case....
