Mass is brill: there's lots of girls.

Thing is - later, there'll all pissed in the pub.

There's no big difference between church & da pub on Sundays anyway!!! In both u'll find old alcos. talking bout stuff that happened ages ago!!!

Yeah, Christmas time is especially good pickings nyom

It's pretty obvious that people have become disheatened with the church over the last 20 or so years. The fact that we're a passing through a rather affluent time in our nations history isn't helping matters either. More and more people find they have less and less need for the Catholic church, especially after its name has been blackened (and I would say rightly so) by the 'scandals and revelations' over the past few years.

SheroN

mass isn't supposed to be fun...it's like some form of duty.

beardedchicken

where does one sign up to become an atheist??
surely there should be some kind of official card or something!!
