I remember a few years ago, I was eating. I'd set aside a little food to Hestia as a sacrifice. Mom came over and asked me "is tht for the gods" while putting it in her mouth. I said "um, it was" and both of us just cracked up laughing. I was like "well, I think The Gods will forgive you..." The next day, I told my Anthropology class and we all had a good chuckle. I brought it up to Mom this morning while taking a piece off of the chicken on my plate and thought of posting it here. So what's your funny religious experience?

Wow, what a question.

When my ex wife and I were dating back in college, I was an atheist and she belonged to a pentacostal church. (However you spell it.)

She asked me to go to church with her.
I was amazed at the people laughing, crying, running up and down the iles, speaking in tongues. I was totally amazed.

She asked me if I could think of any miracle that would make me believe in God, and I thought really hard about it and finally said, "Since all of these people are strangers here, I'd believe if someone came up to me and called me by my name."

About two minutes later this lady walked up to me and said "Bob Wiley, how are you?"

I mean, my heart jumped through my mouth. I was so excited, it was something that I had often wished for. Definite proof of the existence of God.

Then, seeing the look on my face, the lady said "you are in my English class at school."

lol Mom did it again, eating my sacrifice I mean. I mentioned it to her, and along with another laugh, she replaced it with a portion of her food. Hestia (the goddess to whom the food goes) must think we're nuts!

Well, Just don't repeat what I did.

The night before this event I stayed up really really late. Well, I fell asleep in church. I was half asleep when we did communien. So, the girl next to me asked if I'd take a cracker. I said no because I thought she was talking about offering since I wasn't paying any attention, because I was half asleep. Well, the tray passed, and I woke up in the middle of the passage reading for the body of Christ. I realized I got nothing and we were doing communien. So, I asked and lucky she did something to hers and gave a little to me. Lmao! I was appologizing over and over again.
