Pleasure Yourself For Jesus

As some of you know, I grew up in a small town in Washington State. Growing up in a small town provides a wonderful education. We had friends from all walks of life and all socio-economic strata. We didn't live in an insular waspish Episcopal world nor was it a redneck backwoods place. My small town provided all variety of insights into many of the more intriguing aspects of life, including religion as practiced in the many churches that dotted the community.

Palin was a member of the Assembly of God church is Wasilla, Alaska. I think the Assembly of God church is pretty much the same all across the country. It is a small town church. I don't think there is a big Assembly of God church in the middle of Manhattan or in downtown San Francisco. Only the Catholic's have big downtown churches because big cities are full of sin and temptation and Catholic's can fuck around and then confess and everything is okay. Members of the Assembly of God can't confess. They are forced to carry around big loads of shame and guilt when they fail to follow God's will. And, they feel more comfortable in small towns where the temptation is much less compelling and the watchful eyes of the congregation are nearby.

I grew up in a small town with an Assembly of God church. They all look the same. They are plain, concrete block with an absence of landscaping. They have big parking lots.

That happened around the time that I learned that the easiest girls in town came from the most religious families. While I was slow, friends got their first bare tit from the Assembly of God and Mormon girls. It was counter-intuitive but true. You learn that kind of thing growing up in a small town. At the time, we figured they were repressed at church and at home. But they got crazy in the back seat on Friday night. Those are great lessons to learn.

As slow as First Dude seems, it appears he figured that out in high school too.
