Has Elbow Been Threatening The Neighbors Again?

[cadaverdog]

I have a hard time believing that... there's so damn many churches in the South no one would know if someone attended church or not. Most folks are polite enough not to go nosing around in other folk's business...

I gotta agree. Most of the people I met while I was living in Louisiana were exceptionally polite. They call everybody mister or miss whatever their name happens to be. My bosses even refered to me as Mr Tony. Didn't come across any hardcore churchers there either. Texans are about the same as Californians. Some are cool, some are assholes. Just make sure you don't bad mouth Texas while you're there unless you're a Texan.

Turdonabummer does it as well.

As for churches. Many of them are closing up shop. Which is a god...er, good thing.

" Of the 250,000 Protestant churches in America, 200,000 are either stagnant (with no growth) or declining. That is 80% of the churches in America and maybe the one you attend, if you attend at all.

4,000 churches close their doors every single year.

There is less than half of the number of churches today than there were only 100 years ago.

3,500 people leave the church every single day.

Since 1950, there are 1/3rd fewer churches in the U.S.

I'm not surprised. After all, when you have weed, who needs religion? Close to where I live (well, more to the west - you know, the place where Robert Plant looks) there are some mega-churches whose real estate value alone must be in the millions that are more or less vacant. It's almost comical on Sunday mornings driving by the seeing their parking lots nearly empty.

A lot of the old churches here have been made into really nice bars.

Oh the irony.

Y'all are funny... rag on a guy for years for his terrible sins posted on this site. Then he bails and few of you can let it go...

Y'all really do miss Elvis don't you..?

He's missed much more than you'd be missed.

Members get mad here and leave, start up sites that no one else will join, and still come here and complain about things.

Hmmmmm...

Elbow left? Good riddance.

My brother lives near one, very cool Gothic feel to it...

If the old traditional religions go, people will just invent something else to replace them. Frankly I don't see the human element improving. I don't know what we are celebrating here.

Whoa! There's more than one offspring in your gene pool?


Scary.

Elvis has been in the process of leaving for the last five years. The problem is he's addicted to ruffling feathers on this site and you guys are addicted to pissing on him. What can I say. Everyone loves golden showers.

I had a boss from San Fransisco. He was good to work for. I liked the guy but he was your typical SF Bay liberal. Sometimes we would have to deal with customers down in the south. This guy had a livid hate for anyone from the south. It didn't matter how they behaved. Sure enough he would start off with the chicken screwing, sister marrying jokes. It got old. Sometimes people who think they are more tolerant really aren't. They are full of prejudice as much as the people they are pointing the finger at. It's pretty childish really. Making all sorts of assumptions about a person just because of where they live.

Good!!!

That means my shiftiness is working well...

I count 9 Van Halen/Roth websites that quit before they could run me off... yours included, ya bum!! That puts me at 9-0-0.

Can't be ELVIS. Not a single mention of "queers", "faggots" or any gay sexual references in the entire letter. ELVIS can't write a full paragraph without obsessing about homosexuality.

Also, nothing about false flags, FEMA camps, or crisis actors.

Speaking of Alex........wonder what he thinks of the Ebola crisis

I'll save ya the effort.......an inside job!
