He's apparently a presbyterian. Which honestly is a bit surprising since presbyterian congregations tends to be more liberal then the Catholics, like they allow gay clergy.

American Catholics tend to be either in the more liberal states and/or Hispanic and not the loving horrific nightmares that make up the Christian Right that everyone loving loathes. Most of those are Southern Baptist.

The Catholics still tend to suck if you get the actual church involved though. Bunch of Penn State rear end trash fuckers there.

I grew up with that 10% and it was pretty awful.

Of actual church-going Catholics, I would assume the number is probably north of 50%.

Real tip for Catholic masses don't take the Christ Cracker if you aren't actually Catholic and don't know what to do.

My cousins husband for scolded for it once. They'll do a silly little blessing instead. You aren't missing anything, Christ is super bland.

I was in a Catholic wedding and as an agnostic there is a ton of standing and sitting for some reason. I must not have embarrassed myself too bad because that friend invited me to stand in for his kids baptism when the Godfather couldn't make it. I got to reject Satan and all his glamours!

I went to catholic school through high school and it probably depends on where you are, but 90% of us were just apathetic. I think it's a northeast mentality. Everyone believes and goes to church because they feel like they have to instead of actually being about that jesus.

I went to mass for the first time since high school at christmas (wife's mom is religious) and was kind of blown away how creepy and cultish it all seemed now that I've been divorced from belief for a long time.

Here's a question for you Catholics out there, is it usually super informal? When my wife makes us go it doesn't really matter if you just show up in jeans and a sweatshirt or whatever, and I was brought up in an Episcopalian church where you're in a slacks and a nice sweater if not an outright suit and tie, so the casual nature was kind of jarring.

I got in something resembling a fight at bar close with this loving dude who kept grabbing and trying to kiss my friend. Now my ladyfriend is mad at me because she thinks I'm interested in this friend and not just being a decent person. anyway, I'm day drunk and I have to go work again tonight. Happy holidays, I hate everything.

You should tell your ladyfriend you're not interested because the other girl's butt is too firm and perfect and she likes all your stories.

I did a climb up and down a hill on 9/11 that was supposed to be roughly equivalent to going up 44 stories. Was so gassed that I felt like I was driving drunk afterwards, and that was only wearing light gym gear. Can't imagine doing that in a firefighter's rig. Props to you.

Every year on 9/11 the some guy from the fire department goes to this local mom and pop gym and does the stairmaster for the height of the towers in full gear. There is no fanfare or announcement, but gym goers literally stopped midroutine to watch with awe.

My parents are super liberal atheists so I never went to church. The first time was after a sleep over at a catholic friends house. We went to a church and there is an enormous, super graphic, tortured jesus crucifix on the wall. I'm just staring at it and this old dude squats down to get his face real close and says "You did this. You did this to Jesus."

I was 10.

The National Fallen Firefighters Association does a thing every year around 9/11 that equates to about 110 floors for charity (not a race or officially times). I did the one in Lambeau Field the last two years that have you go up and down the steps around the entire bowl in gear. It took me around 2 hours.

Some dudes finished it, same gear, in under an hour :stare:

This kind of reminds me of a scene out of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. Basically a Japanese soldier in WW2 is injured and captured. While recovering in a convent in the Philippines, he sees a crucifix above his bed and its the only thing to look at. He spoke English, but had limited cultural knowledge of the west, so eventually came to the conclusion that INRI must stand for Initiate Nail Removal Immediately.
