instead of offering people money, maby it would be more helpfull for us to get rid of morons like Jerry Falwel and Jack Chick.

Damn Jerry Falwel, making me look bad... :x

I'd take $10 to go to the church once for one hour. I've never been in such a church, and I'm sure the "Praise Jesus!" rhetoric and the choir would entertain me for that long.

At the risk of stereotyping, I've found that predominantly black churches are much more celebratory than predominantly white churches, and therefore more fun to be at.

Nevertheless, church services are long and tedious. You sit on a bench for an hour singing songs with dumb, unbelievably repetitive lyrics and then you have to put money into a collection plate so you can listen to some preacher drone on about his philosophy of life (with Scriptural references as backup, as if you can't support any damned thing you want with Scriptural references). Then you sing some more, and then you leave.

My time is worth more than $10/hr.

Depends on the preacher. A good black preacher is worth an hour of your time just to listen to how he uses the language. It has to be better than a Catholic Mass anyway, which combines all the worst qualities of a funeral, school, and waiting in line at the DMV.

But does the black preacher give you alcohol?
