1. It also reminds me of this


There's no one there! They could have held this in a basketball arena, and probably should have.

7. Oy. How ... discomfiting.
Remember, if you don't hold up your hands, God can't tell if you're serious.

10. Actually, this photo was taken right after Perry asked the crowd...
"Okay, before we get started, anyone need to use the can?"

8. You're so right, Archae! Also reminds me of that megachurch in Borat.
Creepy. But yes, the "Heil" sign. Good catch!

18. Isn't that the whole basis of their faith?
They're all part of the "Giving to the poor? sheltering the homeless? feeding the hungry? FUCK THAT! What's in it for me?" sect of Xianity.

9. Some times, late at night, I envy these critters for being so invested
in something that gives them comfort of some sort or another.

But I guess I am far too rational and far less ego driven to believe there is a supreme being and that if there really is this supreme creator, he she or it would give two shits about me...

13. I've seen pictures of other churches where they do that closed eyes and raised hand thing.
I've always thought it was a way of showing off. See, look at me, I'm just so involved with praying that I reach out to touch the holiness or god or something.

Look at me, Look at me. See how pious and saintly I am. Even my praying is just so special.

Didn't Jesus say something about praying in closets? But I guess I shouldn't actually read what Jesus had to say.

14. "What Jesus had to say?"
What are you, nuts?

If you pray behind closed doors without waving your arms around and making a lot of noise in public showing what a good Christian you are, how can people tell you're a Christian? /sarcasm
