I think it was the stuff that happened outside of church that opened your eyes.

[Mitchell]

Well, not my eyes, per se.

I'm shocked that Mitchell ever went to church.

[mummifiedstalin]

I'm shocked the church didn't burn.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.


Actually, that reminds me of a Sunday School story. We had to do this thing during December where we got an empty manger, a bag of straw, and a little plastic baby Jesus. for each good deed we did we could put one piece of straw into the manger. Whomever made the most comfortable bed for His Holiness by the class before Christmas would get some awful prize that only a nun would think is cool.

So I throw the junk into my sock drawer and forget about it. Until we get in the car on that last Sunday School day and there's my neighbor with his manger with about seven pieces of straw in it. I run into my bedroom, DUMP the entire bag of straw into it, stuff baby Jesus head-down into the pile and get back into the car.

All the other kids had maybe ten pieces of straw each, the best had maybe 25, half-filling the manger. Mine looked like the tower of Babel with a heap of hay piled on top of it.

The nuns, eyeing my setup suspiciously, asked my father "Did he follow the rules? Did he really do all those good deeds?"

My father looked at me, I looked at my feet, and heard him tell the nuns "Oh, yeah. The little s**t has been wonderful this month."

Later I confessed to my dad that I felt pretty crummy seeing as how I cheated, that it was a split-second thing because I didn't want an empty manger. He told me "good, that's how I was supposed to feel. Feel guilty because I jobbed the other kid, but never," he told me, "never pass up a chance to f**k with a nun."
