[underpants]

I am. A big old Baptist one too.

[Cobalt Violet]

1. No way. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Yep, then gonna have a big ol ham dinner

[orpupilofnature57]

7. Happy Easter ! I love Ham !

[orpupilofnature57]

3. I'm not the kind you have to wind-up on Sundays.

[shadowknows69]

36. Tull reference!!!!

Ian Anderson is in fact God.

[Pirate Smile]

4. Yes, to a Catholic Church.

[Selatius]

The privacy of my home and mind is sufficient enough for my own spiritual needs.

Then again, if you looked at my views in total, I'd come off as a Deist more than anything else. I am averse to hierarchical religion and religious dogma in general.

[Mojorabbit]

5. No,

I had my spring celebration on the equinox.

[Fovea]

13. Blessed Oestara

May all your flowers bloom.

[Mojorabbit]

17. Right back atcha! :) n/t

[shadowknows69]

37. I'll add to that fellow pagans.

We had the holiday first. Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah.

[Marrah_G]

23. Ditto!

Blessed be! to all you Heathens :)

[MrModerate]

6. However, having recently moved from secular(ish) Maryland . . .

to religious(istic) Texas, I am noticing more people (young and old) announcing their intent to go -- and on Friday as well.

Since I'm not a religious person, this stuff just kind of blows past me.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

19. Similar for me...

Northern Virginia to North Carolina. I've seen more Jesus fish in 1-1/2 years than I've seen in a lifetime; not sure how long I'm going to last down here!

[RebelOne]

8. Absolutely not! Atheist here.

[liberalEd]

46. Here is where I want to be this weekend -

http://www.atheists.org/convention/

But it's a bit out of my financial reach right now.

[CJCRANE]

9. No. Church is coming to me.

Charlotte Church. She's a lovely girl.

:evilgrin:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. No.

But I might look for one of 'em chocolate Jeebuses.

[H2O Man]

11. Yes.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Why? What's the occasion?

:yoiks:

[Forkboy]

14. I'd last only slightly longer than Damian did.

[cboy4]

20. ....

:spray:

Me too.

[IChing]

15. My father has an audience with the pope

No shit...no lie...he is staying with the ambassador to the Vatican
he is 90.5 and converted back to Catholicism when he married his neo-con wife after my mom died.

[madokie]

16. nope sure ain't

[Deb]

18. No, I took Communion at Maundy Thursday services

last night instead. The commercial Easter garbage will find it's way into church this Sunday, I skip it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

21. Yup, as a member of a cathedral choir, I'll be there

tonight for Good Friday, Saturday night for Easter Vigil, and Sunday morning for Easter itself. On Sunday morning, we'll be singing one of my favorite anthems of all time, the 16th century motet "Haec dies" ("This is the day").

Fortunately, dinner with the relatives is at 4PM, so I'll be able to sneak in a nap before heading out.

[NMDemDist2]

22. wow 18% yes. guess we're not *all* Gawdless Liberals heheh n/t

[Dinger]

24. Yes

Went last night too. Will go tonight, and again on Sunday morning. Got NO problem with people who aren't going. I believe that it is a free choice for people to make, and I respect it.

[loudsue]

25. Nope! If I want to hear someone preach politics, I'll turn on the tv and sit on the sofa in my home

:kick:

[GirlinContempt]

26. Probably, and I'm an atheist.

It's really important to some people in my life, so I will sometimes attend if requested, or even just if I'm feeling curious or if I'm wanting to support someone in the choir or whatever.

[Strawman]

27. If I ever wake up early enough, we may go to a UU service again

We've been meaning to go back for awhile now.

[irish.lambchop]

28. Nope

Am a recovering catholic and intend to keep it that way.

[bryant69]

29. This belongs in the religion forum

[Sapere aude]

30. No, I gave it up for lent. Whoops lent will be over Sunday. Still not going.

[damntexdem]

31. Yeah, I suppose. I'm on the ministerial search committee, ...

and we might have stuff to talk about.

And the kids are having an Easter egg hunt, which is always a kick.

I haven't bothered to see what the topic of the sermon will be.

[Imalittleteapot]

32. No, I'll be Home Churched

on Sunday, in the backyard with all of the glorious gifts of nature.

[ThomWV]

33. Twice in the last 35 years - both times weddings I couldn't get out of going to

Otherwise I have no reason what so ever to go into any church on earth, now or ever.

[rurallib]

34. Nope. Raised Catholic. I was so brainwashed that I thought I was

Going to die the first time I missed Sunday Mass. Couldn't sleep that night. And then I didn't die. That led me down the path to where I am now, which is mostly not believing any man made religion. And happily so.

[Pastiche423]

35. Nope

I don't do churches.

[geardaddy]

38. What about maybe? n/t

[underpants]

41. ( I was trying real hard not to respond to this thread)

GOD* DOESN'T DO MAYBES!!!

*"God" refers to your choice there of God or no God or a form of God as it pertains to your personal faith or lack there of not with standing management can not be held responsible for the likely occurrence of God or of not God.

[geardaddy]

42. I appreciate your opinion.

But just because I have yet to decide if I'm going to church doesn't necessarily preclude me from believing in God. I don't have to go to church to pray or worship.

[ClintonTyree]

39. Why ruin a perfectly good Sunday?

If jesus comes out of his cave and sees his shadow does that mean only 6 more weeks of the Bush administration? :shrug: I'd convert to christianity in a heartbeat if that would happen. :)

[paparush]

40. Big Fat NO!

[rasputin1952]

43. I consider the whole earth a kind of church, so I will walk around in

an intraspective mood, while the Honey Baked ham warms up and the rolls bake, filling the house w/that homey smell I remeber from so long ago.

I will try and find at least one person to do a little kindness to, and hopefully it will be poassed on to others and the many can benefit.

I wish warmth and understanding to everyone, not on this day alone, but for everyday. I hope and pray for Peace, compassion and Love; and for the wisdom to maintain it.

[Rainbowreflect]

44. Yes I am! I finally found the right church for me.

I met the minister at the peace rally last month. She read a poem she wrote & talked about how the right had hijacked Jesus.
I have been going every Sunday since & have never felt more at home in a church in my life.

[porphyrian]

45. Until we have peace on earth, I don't believe anyone claiming to be the Messiah. - n/t

[etherealtruth]

47. I may take my mom ...

I dislike the idea of her going alone on a holiday (its a very important holiday to her) ... so I may, for her.

[RedCappedBandit]

48. Why would I?
