Today we did go to the church thing again. A****** managed about twenty minutes before he started screaming again, just as the priest had started his sermon. I took A****** out in his pram and we went for a walk for the next forty minutes (A****** fell asleep after about five minutes of this). M**** said I shouldn't use the word 'weird' in describing what I see occuring at the 'Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Church', to give it its full name. Link here. I say I can call whatever I want weird, and it's not a derogatory term. Plus, it's my web-site, so I can say what I want. Anyway, upon returning to the church, I stood around outside for a bit with A******, waiting for M****. The young priest person came out, wished me 'good morning', and I did the same. He then stood around, seeing everyone out, wishing them 'good morning', having a chat with a few of them, that kind of thing. They're certainly a friendly bunch, but I can never understand why you would ask your creator forgiveness - that is very weird (or should I say, 'alien'?!). God must be there, kind of going, "Erm . . . no, it's okay. You didn't sin. I programmed it all in. You are incapable of doing anything outside of my will." Crazy. Perhaps the problem is that this 'will' I speak of is completely outside of human comprehension. Maybe it's an attempt to rationalise our actions. Yeah, so erm . . . someone asked me why I go along to these things . . . I look after A******, and take him away when his protestations start to drown out the words of the priest. I think that's why.

  • Comment: Being a catholic and having been to church hundreds of times I certainly think it's weird. If you step out of the chanting and all that and think what's going on it's crazy, hundreds of people repeating words that they're not even thinking about, standing up sitting down and intoxicated by insence. That's just my opinion, though.
