Methodists are by and large okay.
They seem to be a little more liberal these days than they used to be.

As soon as I get done typing this some Methodist radical is going to go do some crazy shootem up shit and make me a liar......

Actually, I learned about the coffee house program earlier this year. I remember being floored at how fantastic it is; my suspicion is that this particular community is progressive. Which is cool. I am all for progressive religion. I just don't believe, though, so I don't belong.

Don't you wish we could just have some nice social communities? Like co-ed sibling-ly organizations but without the baggage?

Ahhhhhhhh idealism.

I've always liked the "Sacred Grounds" sign. There was a similarly clever one there or nearby before, but I can't remember what it said.

Lastewie -- That's what UU congregations are for. Maybe AA too. :)

The UU are good peeps. I went to a national UU training (sex ed) a couple of years ago and spent a lot of time with their DC employees. Even though I like the services a heck of a lot better than any other church's, they still ultimately want you to believe in *something,* and I don't. So boo. Cause they're the closest I've found.

actually it was sex ed advocacy, not sex ed training. We lobbied the NC senators and Congress.

Ummmm......UU?
Am I supposed to know what that is?

I really, really liked the UU church I visited, but it freaked wife out. I kind of don't know what I believe anyway.

I do have to say thought that the Methodist are the "least icky" to me. Wife wants me to "go to church" and I told her I would be more "methodist friendly".

I was raised in the Church of Christ if that tells you anything. (blech)
