Matt, you may wish to petition that church to change their

Nah, I'd rather use r.a.p as a portal for evangelism now that such is
considered acceptable here.


In an effort to find some common ground, Matt, let's explore the
similarities between church and a gentleman's club:

They both:

1. Have a stage.
2. Have music
3. Have ushers
4. Pay no taxes
5. Provide a service
6. Offer free parking
7. Don't serve alcohol (well, some churches serve wine)
8. Are open at odd hours
9. Are constantly advertising
10. Are as old as humanity itself
11. Seemingly put women in a subservient role, yet everyone knows they
are in complete control of everything.
12. You *do* need dollar bills for both.

All justification to now discuss churches in this forum! :-)

I generally keep my faith out of special interest groups like this as I
believe everything in its place and a place for everything. However, if
the desire is to expand the charter of this group, I'll happily participate.
