We need to try to get 600?

Yep, but I enjoy the more slow and relaxing conversations. Gives you time to think and ponder over the facts a user comments, and that is the key to understanding. Unlike that particular TET thread that went through 500 pages, 12500+ replies in 72~ hours. That is horrifying. I wonder how the conversations transitioned. Imagine waking up only to realise the thread went by 80+ pages during your sleep.

Remembering the Christmas and Easter services back at school, they definitely messed mine up; repeatedly dozing off and then getting woken up by loud singing was a bit disorienting.

Up till now, I haven’t found out the reason why Sunday church meetings are held in the morning. Why not afternoon, or night, even? They surely can mess up your sleeping schedule.

I'm pretty sure it's because they are theoretically supposed to be all day, but I'm not sure.

Nice point... although I think God is caring enough to let his worshippers do whatever they want as long as they worship him. They can pray before they eat, pray the day is good, shows they notice God’s presence. That’s how God can come first in the day, not necessarily through early morning church services, in my opinion.

A truly benevolent God would want his people to be able to sleep late on his day.... it makes sense.

I agree. I think I’d prefer afternoon services, at the earliest. But I guess do whatever he wants his followers to do, be submissive... etc. It’s only once, twice a week, anyway.

I think I remember a priest talking about this a few years ago in Sunday mass. Something about making sacrifices to prove that your faith and devotion to God is genuine.

I don't buy it, though.

Heh, Catholics have Saturday night mass, so you can skip Sunday mornings.

You can prove your faith and devotion in other ways, too.

I think early meetings are a show of faith, but it’s not held early mainly because of that. I know it’s for some other reason.

It is actually more often than that, but not always in the morning. Luckily.

I try not to eat in there — crumbs everywhere and I don’t like to make a mess.

For me, it’s twice a week. I don’t know about you, though.
