Let's try to think of all the interesting and productive things that are better than going to church. Describe it, post a picture, or even a video!
Here, I'll start.
Watch paint dry!

Tea in bed (with biscuits and mucho Mrs/kiddy cuddle), breakfast (bacon, sausage, egg, fried bread followed by toast, watch TV (any one of many good SciFi/Supernatural TV series like "True Blood" ... God Hates Fangs, very appropriate for a Sunday I think), read the paper, watch the Andrew Mar news/politics show, read a book (currently Frank Herbert's "Dune Messiah"), three S's (sh**, shave & shower), get dressed, surf the net, build a PC, surf the net some more, help daughter's with homework, watch "Merlin", do some ironing (not so good but get to watch more TV), Tea & cake, more TV and surfing, dinner, Sunday night beer, sleep!!!!!!
Or I could go to church ... tough decision (I think not)!

*pic*
OK, someone was able to draw that. I can't fathom that. You'd think each and every line from the moment they'd conceived it they'd burst out laughing and jut an unintentional line down. But for how much of a laugh I got out of that I'm sure glad the artist was able to keep it together well enough to get it down. ;)
Oh, yeah, pics.

Cool! What, if I may ask, made you change your mind? I know buddhism is a very atractive philosophy, though some of the branches can be a little... strange, if you know what I mean.
For me it was information theory. Yep. that's what made my say no to buddhism.

Realizing religion is on to us about our agenda to impose our satanic rule of reason and logic upon the world, I have decided to go all the way and paint “REASON WAS HERE†on the church wall while they are having mass next Sunday.
If I get arrested I will let you know. It is after all harmless and nothing a little paint can’t fix, or hide as it where
Ps! Not a militant atheist

I've tried meditation as well. I kind of suck at it, but I'd liked to get into it more. Really, most of the music that I listen to is my meditation. What I'd really like to get into is yoga.
