I reckon that when church attendance falls significantly lower still, there'll soon be desprate enough to pay people to turn up.Big Grin

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

In that case I would probably consider attending. Getting paid to sit on your butt and do nothing doesn't sound too bad at all. I can always bring my ipod so I don't have to listen to the crap anyway.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Not here. I don't care if they pay me. I am NOT going to worship a fictitious God and sing praises to him. Uh-uh. Nooope.
