I'm not old enough to move out yet. (I'm 15) My parents are heavily christian and don't know I'm atheist. They make me go to church every sunday for 2 hours. :brick:
The only reason I haven't told them I don't believe in their god is because they would most likely kick me out of the house. I'm waiting until I can support myself before I tell them anything.
 So of course I'd listen to a sermon for $5, I stopped paying attention when I was eight.

Hell yeah I would. Then I'd take the five bucks and donate it to Whitney.

Hell, I'd read all day every day for $5 an hour. Sermons would be harder to sit through, but I made it through 2-3 a week at least an hour and a half to two hours long for 15 years.... for nothing! I'd find a way to get through it; maybe take notes and blog about it, that would be fun. ;)

I voted that my time is worth more than that.  I'd do it for like 25 an hour; my rates increase by a factor of how much I don't want to do something :P

Why not? I love a good story and there's nothing more fire and brimstone then the old testament!

My hourly (inter-company) rate is 65 Euro, so for that half hour Bible reading I'll have to charge approx. $45.

The Bible's an interesting read. So yea, five bucks is five bucks. Although if I look at it from a Rand perspective and not a Dollar one I would definitely have to increase my rate a bit, otherwise I can't even get a cooldrink.

Man, that sucks... Hang in there...

So, $5 for 30 minutes?
Nope.

Maybe $500 (plus studio time).

The way I look at it, I wasn't going to make that five dollars in that 30 minutes anyway, so why not? I'm not that busy and it's better than minimum wage.:P

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.
