For men its between the legs if you want to know. Not sure why women would want to be with a religious person but I am sure there is some hormonal reason since years ago when I had to go to mass with family members (they ask nicely they know I don't believe in their sky daddy) I did notice that 4 out 5 where women.

There is some research on this but not sure where I read it that women do tend to be drawn in more than men but not sure what the percentage is. Either way I consider it a mental disorder no different than Narcism. I sure would love to see if certain anxiety medication would be in order to break the cycle. Glad I will never have to worry about this with my wife, 100% atheist to the core. 

I did a fast look up and though this is not the article I was looking for it does mention a trend.

I can sort of understand church but, SUNDAY SCHOOL?  Why would an atheist do that?

The Rednecks are coming, the Rednecks are coming

Actually, the rednecks are here and everywhere. Let me say, I'm not a big fan of these people. That's putting it mildly. Need I describe them? You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More
