Sunday Pay, is Time and One Half Per Hour

Oh yeah, it's Sunday.
Shame I have to work today, but I guess the state recognizes my deep personal sacrifice. I have a hard time complaining about getting paid %50 percent more an hour just because a lot of people would rather be at church.
Now granted there was a time when I might have felt the same way. But that time is long since gone from me. Not that I'm no longer a spiritual man, but I don't believe a particular building houses the divine spiritual consciousness. Any more than my apartment is the true dwelling place for my spirit.
Care to disagree? Dust off your old copy of the "good book" (or is it just mine that's dusty?) and read it it again. You may be reminded that the body is the temple of the spirit. Which in turn leads me to believe that it is the congregation, the people of faith, that are the dwelling place of divinity. That's right, it's in the people, so yes when you gather a large enough number of believers, that spirit is also there. Where did this come from, do I really think anyone cares about "Sunday go to meetings" anymore? Who knows I might be "preaching" to the digital choir on this one. You might not even want to hear me mentioning church, even though I studiously avoided the word god (small "g" because I was refering to the word not to... well... the big "G") I can only vouch for my own experiences, and even some of those are questionable... But remember to keep in mind today, if you decide to attend a religious gathering, stay home and be with your family or get high and play video games.
I might be working today,
but I'm getting paid way too much for it!
