get up for church

with or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil — but for good people to do evil — that takes religion.
-- steven weinberg

the monster woke me at 6:45 today, and that's sleeping in for her. still, 6:45 on a sunday morning seemed way too early today.

then i thought about younger, church-going days, when we had to be to meeting #1 by 8:00 AM, when in reality, the congregation could have established any time they wanted for their meeting #1. and for whatever reason, chose 8:00 AM.

which reminded me of a quote i grew up with:
a religion that does not require the sacrifice of all things never has the power sufficient to produce the faith necessary unto life and salvation.
...which was a quote that never, ever inspired me.
