What is the definition of a "Church"?

I am thinking of the preacher down in Louisiana that is trying to get 1800 people from 50 mile radius to come to his church today.

Never invite a Baptist to go fishing as he’ll drink all your beer. Invite two and neither one will touch it.

The Baptist love attending Catholic wedding receptions because they feel free to dance and imbibe.

Good one, Sir!

I was thinking of the pastor down in Louisiana that is inviting 1800 people to attend his "church" today, at threat of giving up their lives to the plague...

I will be using your line today.

The saving grace of the West is that most here stopped taking our religion quite so seriously as to imagine belief suspends the laws and routines of Nature....

It’s hilarious that these people don’t believe in Darwinism, because they’re proving it to be accurate.
