I have felt that. There is one hymn (can't think of it now) we sing which refers to lifting holy hands. As conservative Baptists, we just don't do that - might make us look charismatic. When singing that line, I look around and can almost see folks sticking their hands in their pockets. :doh:
Some of us conservative types are starting to loosen up.
Maybe someday I'll share this anecdote as a newly converted skeptic, aye Zak?

And the fact that you can spot a wool/linen blend suit from the back pew is amazing! Way to go! :thumb:

I don't like it when a preacher is praying or a worship leader is singing and they ask everyone to lift their hands to worship God. It's basically saying, "All Christians prove yourselves by lifting your hands tonight"...
I feel the same way towards anyone who asks all the Christians to come up and pray for an individual or a certain situation. If some deceide to sit in their pew, people begin thinking they're not saved...

Atheism is is a bet that you won't wake up after screaming at the top of your lungs for God to save you while your airplane is piling into the World Trade Center or the grenade with your name on it and no pin in it just went off in your knickers.
Theism is a hedge that you will wake up after screaming at the top of your lungs for God to save you while your airplane is piling into the World Trade Center or the grenade with your name on it and no pin in it just went off in your knickers.
I go with the hedge. I've got nothing to lose and the atheist is betting everything on his own precision. Sucker bet if I ever saw one.
Funny, how atheists scream as loud as everyone else when death is staring them in the face. I wonder why that is. I wonder where their clear rational thinking goes while bleeding to death on the sidewalk of South Central LA with the back of their skull blown away by a .45 wad cutter.
I wonder if they seek comfort in the fact that their bet is totally correct when they see an 18 wheeler hurdling toward them out of control and they know they are about to .... what, just go to sleep?
Theists scream because they are not prepared to meet their maker. Atheists scream ..... why, because they're gonna miss the 6 o'clock news?

Not in the least.
