Why would anyone be religious?

I guess I see what's going on with people like jmfcst, or even Al, but what the heck is angus up to?  Isn't it a little weird for an atheist and a Chinawoman to bring their hal..  sorry their kid.. to a church?

Oh opebo, I meant to ask you something way back when, and now that it has come up again elsewhere thanks to your acolyte BRTD (except on religious stuff), my memory has been jogged. Why does it annoy you or whatever when folks capitalize your screen name? 

No no, its not a big deal. 

opebo, it's not like we're taking the boy to a nazi youth rally.  perspective, man.

Its not?  I find it similar.

So, a while back my nephew came back from third grade and asked his parents who this "Jesus" guy his classmates were talking about was.  My brother-in-law explained the basic story (my nephew had no clue what a "virgin" was, so it was difficult), and at the end, my brother-in-law explained the Resurrection.  My nephew solemnly said, "he was the first zombie."

The kid's going to turn out all right.

Mikado, if that story is true, it gives me hope not just for your nephew, but for all of our sick sad Jewdio-christian culture.
