True Religion



Someone recently asked me why I don't go to church. Since I consider myself a Christian, and also my father is a Vicar, I suppose it was a valid question.

In my head, I mulled it over.
As I went weekly from a very young age, I knew much of the doctrine by heart, and so recited it without knowing the significance of the words. It was a concatenation of personal feelings that led to my lack of churchiness.

I then replied:
"I feel that going to church doesn't make someone a Christian, as sitting in the garage doesn't make someone a car."

"Smart arse."
