Let's Go To A Freeper Church Tomorrow

[Pryderi]

Given the Foley story this past week, it might be interesting to go to see what one of those conservative, politically active churches say on Sunday.

There's one near me that I'm planning on attending. Is there one near you?

1. Secretly video the service and then...

...mail the tape to the IRS. You never know... ;)

[benny05]

17. Or they will call you

Macaca..

[Gato Moteado]

2. be prepared to dance with a rattlesnake in each hand.....

...and drink a jar of stricknine.

[Bucky]

3. Great idea! I'm game. Let's come back tomorrow and report what we find

I like this idea. Remember folks, dress neatly speak respectfully, and ask unloaded open ended questions. Don't mention Jesus ("love thy enemy") Christ until they mention torture. Don't quote Isaiah ("Come let us reason together") until they insult you.

4. Don't forget your popcorn

It could be quite a show.

5. No thank you! I'll be at my progressive church tomorrow.

Not going to waste on minute on that bunch, as much as I'd love to hear some of them whine. They'll probably just steer clear of the political rhetoric for a while anyway; they can't very well defend the GOP without appearing to condone Foley's actions, they can't condemn Foley too hard without appearing to talk trash about all of the GOP, and they sure as hell aren't going to start singing the virtures of Democrats. Besides, I wouldn't want to risk my sanity or my privacy; these nuts are notorious for calling on visitors and begging you to come back. I'm just fine without them knowing I even exist.

But if anyone is brave enough, I'll sure keep a watch for any posts reporting on your adventures tomorrow!

6. Pick up anything that looks like campaign literature while you are there

and figure out a way to tape what is said.

[Pryderi]

9. My Sansa 4GB MP3 player also records sound...

[Kurovski]

10. It's illegal unless you let them know you're taping them.

Or is it anymore? :shrug:

[silverweb]

21. At an event open to the public?

I doubt it.

[Kurovski]

25. You're right. My complete mistake.

Any sermon can most certainly be recorded.

[Ian David]

7. Ask them why they ignored Jesus' real birthday today, too. n/t

[Ian David]

8. Call the right-wing christian radio stations to discuss it. n/t

11. I would have no problem finding a freeper church.

I live in Cherokee County, a very red zone in the Atlanta area. But since I am an atheist, I don't attend church. Even if I did, I would not set foot in one of their churches.

[Arugula Latte]

12. Ewwww! Church? Freepers?

:puke:

Two of my least favorite things on the planet! I don't have the stomach. I want to hurl whenever I'm forced to set foot in any church, let alone a Freepfest one. There's something about the musty smell, the ridiculous "artwork," and the sense of denial of reality that makes every nerve in my body buzz with revulsion when I'm in a "Holy" house.

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. Here's a bet for those who do

Jesus will be mentioned many, many times, but will not be quoted - not even once.

Been there, won the bet.

[sandyd921]

14. Sorry I try to stay as far away from them as I possibly can.

The "ugh" factor is just too great for me.:puke: I'll just have to rely on the reports of others.

[citizen snips]

15. no thanks

I have better things to do.

[mcscajun]

16. Since you're going, please report back...

in much the same way as those who visit Free Republic file reports.

Make sure to shower after your visit.

[Pryderi]

18. Oh geeeezzzeee....What should I do about my bumperstickers?

[mcscajun]

19. Uh-oh, Andy. Better take a taxi.

Or have a friend drop you off.

You're going undercover, doncha know. :)

[Mountainman]

20. No thank you.

[lynne]

22. I'll be attending church tomorrow -

- but I normally attend every Sunday. I'm sure some of my fellow church-members are freepers but we don't discuss politics in church.

[Pryderi]

24. No political sermons?

[lynne]

28. Never a one in the 12 years I've been attending.

Even with sermons regarding social issues, no mention of politics is ever made.

[Pryderi]

23. Check out their website

26. Blasphemy

Isn't something I'm interested in.

Having read the New Testiment and some of the Apocrypha for myself, I wouldn't go anywhere near one of those places.

For me, anyway- my soul is worth more than my curiousity, anthropology notwithstanding.

[Dem2theMax]

27. All the freepers left our church about three weeks ago!

The (hahaha) "Reverend" took his flock of bigots and left.
Now all we have are nice people.
Yeah for us! :)

[xchrom]

29. protest in front of freeper churches --

hold a gay love-in.

hold an anti-torture rally.

hold a separation of church state teach in.

but protest in front -- let them KNOW that the war they are shoving in your face is coming to their temples of hate.
