I was noticing that quite a few folks here go to church and I was just wondering what everyone's religion is.
 I am a Protestant, my church is used to be small but we have tripled in size in the last year. I am the only sly guy there, there are many many guys that need to go sly, they vary from big bald spots on the back of the head to horse shoes to bad comb overs. My Reverend has a bad comb over, he doesnt have much hair left and the hair that makes up his comb over is probably 10 inches long. Yesterday when service was over he stepped off the stage and tripped and fell. It was suprising seeing him fall and such but watching his comb over fly up, when he stood back up it was on the side of his head, the top of his head was shining. Once he was up he looked at me, now I am thinking he was looking at my dome. It would be hilarious if he is shaved next week, or makes up a fundraiser with the prize being a set of clippers to shave his dome.

 So what is everyones religion and do any of you have funny church stories?

I am Christian.  I go to a Methodist church.  My wife and I both play in the worship band.  She plays piano and sings, and I play bass and keyboard.  I'd rather play piano, but she gets to play all the time now.

I can't think of anything funny right now.  Playing music in churches for the past 10 years has had some interesting things happen.  Usually it's when things go wrong, like equipment failing or somebody playing in the wrong key or messing up really bad.  But I've found that when playing music in a church 99% of the time you mess up no one notices.

One time we were playing outside and I was using a cup of water as a paperweight for my music (dumb idea yeah).  Wind caught the cup and dumped it all in the keyboard.  Water was running out the ends.  It worked fine and we didn't tell the pastor until about 5 years later.

PLEASE NOTE: Discussions about religion are against the rules of the forum. However, after reading the first two posts, it appears it's more about stories than the plusses & minuses of each religion.

Please be respectful of others' faiths.

Sorry about that, I should have read the rules. I can delete this thread if needed. I was more interested in funny stories, sorry about that.

Well, I am a Christian and I attend a Assembly of God church.  I am very active in my church and I'm a vocalist on the worship team. 

My church has a few Sly Guys in it.  I will show you a few pics of sly guys from my church.  We have a bit being a small church.

The first picture shows my friend Glenn, who is the head of recovery ministries at my church.  The next person is Edd, the ministry intern.  Then there is myself and my friend Bubba, who is a member of this group and was visiting from Idaho.

The next picture is of myself and Atlas.  I have to say that while Atlas is close to 60, I am sure that being sly makes him look younger.

The fourth pic is Edd, Jason, myself and Caleb.  So you can see that we need to wear blinders where I go to church.  The shine can be blinding!   ;D

The third pic is myself and Ray, my twin vocalist on the worship team.

Here is one more pic.  I have posted this and the others before.  It is of our former pastor, Tim, who is now in training to be a police officer.  I had encouraged him to be sly before and eventually he did!

Actually, here is a story.  It is not so much funny as it is cool.  I have a elderly friend at my church who recently had a stroke.  Before the stroke, I used to kid Don about shaving off his fringe.  So when I visited him after he had the stroke, I had kidded him about his longer fringe.  So he said, "So when are you going to give me a head shave!".  So the next time I was over, I gave him a head shave.  Next time I log on, I will post a pic of the event!  But he looked good with it!

Interesting you should mention sly at church.  I am a Christian.  I go to a Baptist church.  There are about a 150 people there.  Until the last year or so I have been the only sly one.  There is one guy who shaves it down to zero on the shaver;  and another who shaves it sly from time to time and rather sloppily at that.  Then,  here last week there is this dude who has been gone off to college or something like that for a while.  He is early twenties,  had a good thick head of hair.  Shows up last week slick bald with a goatee!    I shook his hand and complimented his hair cut.  So now there are two of us that are BBC .. which is really kinda cool I think.

Christian here, also.  I've attended a Nazarene Church for the past 7 years.  Marsh, I grew up in an Assembly of God Church and graduated from one of their liberal arts universities.
