I'd say nothing new there, just less people bother with church these days

I'd say we've always preferred a drink to church but they're only now realising it :rolleyes:

I'd prefer almost anywhere to church, being an atheist and all.

Mass is brill: there's lots of girls.

Thing is - later, there'll all pissed in the pub.

woosaysdan · 22-03-2002 10:04am

There's no big difference between church & da pub on Sundays anyway!!! In both u'll find old alcos. talking bout stuff that happened ages ago!!!

Yeah, Christmas time is especially good pickings

It's pretty obvious that people have become disheatened with the church over the last 20 or so years. The fact that we're a passing through a rather affluent time in our nations history isn't helping matters either. More and more people find they have less and less need for the Catholic church, especially after its name has been blackened (and I would say rightly so) by the 'scandals and revelations' over the past few years.

SheroN · 22-03-2002 12:00pm

mass isn't supposed to be fun...it's like some form of duty.

beardedchicken · 22-03-2002 4:08pm

where does one sign up to become an atheist??
surely there should be some kind of official card or something!!

I never go to church.

I work in, and drink in, a bar in north Co. Dublin.

No surprises here for me.
