Which quote is more sermon-like?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

From the same person, but not the same sermon (first one is from this morning though.)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I don't see anything particularly astounding about either of these quotes.  Have people just never been to a liberal Protestant church before?

There's 'liberal' and then there's calling people 'hot' and talking about the 'guy from Braveheart' in sermons.

Only in America.

Well according to oakvale and belgian in IRC no one in Europe ever converts and everyone is considered to be stuck with their religion for life (even if they turn atheist). So yes such a church is something you won't find likely outside of the US (and I suppose Canada, Australia and South Africa.)
