....what the heck kind of jacked up church do you go to? O.o That youth group was insane. Pastor was great and really spiritually edified my young self, but... it was just insane most of the time.

christian problems: when you're writing about paganism but capitalize the G in gods out of habit

Whenever I was in youth group and someone didn't know the answer to the question, they would say "Baby Jesus!" because Jesus always is the answer. We also had some inside jokes that wouldn't make much sense (about bible paper and homemade brownies).

Thank you all! Now. Onto some fun conversation. What's the funniest (or strangest) thing that's happened during your church service? You're very welcome.
Ah, yes... one time, I believe our youth pastor was giving the sermon that mroning. Once we got to the final prayer, right when he said "Amen", my mom sneezed really loudly. And when I day loudly, I mean that it echoed around the sanctuary... and everyone in the church chuckled. It was quite amusing.
Another time, a friend of mine's younger brother was behind me for the service. When our youth pastor was giving announcements, he talked about how the cold weather was finally coming, and summer was ending. My friend's little brother said quite loudly, "Finally!" and everyone chuckled. Then the youth pastor said, "Amen to that."
I can't think of anything else, except when I was downstairs with the K-4th class, one girl was telling me about her boyfriend... and she is in 1st grade. I was just kind of shocked, but not a lot.

Help guys I've been attacked by a dreaded Instagram Ratheist™
I made a post about how the Bible isn't sexist and he responded with 12 frickin Bible passages that supposedly prove it is. They're Leviticus 12:9, Deuteronomy 25:11-12, Leviticus 12:2-5, 1 Corinthians 11:3-9, Revelation 2:22-23, Exodus 22:18-20, Judges 19:24-25, 1 Timothy 2:11-14, Ephesians 5:22-24, and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. Pretty sure I can refute all of the objections, by the Lord's grace and with lots of help from commentaries and Google, but arrrgh whyyyyy it's going to take so long #PrayForTree

Really depends on how you define sexism. I don't think men and women having different roles is sexist in the slightest. But if someone else has qualms with how God wants His people to run things, they can take it up with Him.
While we're at it, a couple of worthy quotes:
“The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” - Matthew Henry
And my friend blessed me with this a while ago: "Woman was not made to do everything man does. Woman was made to do everything man cannot do."

Also can you guys pray for this girl at my school. She's like super mentally unstable, and she told a friend of mine (her kind-of ex-boyfriend) that he's literally the only thing keeping her from killing herself, so he's kind of stressed out. Please pray that she gets the help she needs.

Hello everyone~!
Strangest/Funniest thing that happened in church? Hm.. I'd need time to thing about this.
This isn't funny and not necessarily strange but quite concerning. But we went to a funeral service a while ago. And we knew the pastor as we used to go to the church for a while, it was a Pentecostal turned nondenominational. We were looking for a new one as we had problems with our original. Well. During his speech or whatever they do during the funeral. He started talking about the Beatitudes. However. He called them the SO CALLED Beatitudes.
What do you guys think of this? Also. I have another question that I will ask later once I get all of your opinions on this one.
