The story said the couple had been attending that church fo some time, but were not official members.  Still, I'm sure they put their money in the plate every Sunday.... 

I hope they at least find another church, but even better I would like them to think things through and join FFRF.

As for Chris' comment about "what woman would WANT to be in their parrty?"  I have wondered for decades, ever since I realized how anti-female ALL the Abrahamic religions have been for millennia, about women who want to be rabbis, priests, ministers of any kind. If they want to help people, there are all kinds of other public service organizations, plus medicine, etc. that feed, house, clothe, find jobs, and educate the needy...without trying to "save" their non-existant souls.

I wish someone would poll women cleric about why they went into The World's Oldest Profession.  (Shaman, Priests, etc., have been around a lot longer than prostitutes.  Who do you think decided women's sexual freedom was "wrong"?)

Joan - thanks for the cats and books picture. I agree with booklover - now we just need some coffee in the picture.

I love coffee. Having chocolate truffle coffee today.

Things that prevent me from believing in a god, any god:  

1. The imperative to submit, obey, follow teachings with which I do not agree. 

2. Perception of some as more human than others. 

3. A hierarchical system that places a god at the top to be obeyed:   males, preference for a specific race (Jewish, Anglo-S or Muslim) and women and children perceived as chattel.

4. Claims about miracles that defy natural laws of physics and depend on faith and belief. 

5. Defenses to back up their claims using untestable, unmeasurable, unverifiable rationale. 

6. Justification by using circular thinking: god, yahweh, allah authored scripture; scripture describes god's, yahwey's, allah's imperitives.
