I assume nothing. I am 65 and haven't been in a church since I
was 14. Well, when I was 18 I went into one with a buddy just for
laughs. We picked the church at random. We were both 16 at the
time. We were wearing 1930's style double-breasted suits with wide-
brimmed fedoras hats and wing tip shoes (couldn't find any spats),
like something straight out of an old black and white gangster flick.

We sat in there and listened to "the minister" talking about a
recent trip he made to Africa. We came in midway through, so really I
didn't know what he was talking about, and neither did my buddy. But
we got enough info so that when the guy was done with his sermon and
asked if anyone had any questions, I stood up and asked something
sarcastic in a theatrical big city gangster voice from the 30s. He
answered seriously. My buddy then asked a question. Same thing. Our
questions were designed to humiliate and denigrate the crowd for their
stupid belief, but as it turns out they seemed to enjoy the show and
as we left I noted their faces were brighter and healthier in glow
than when we had arrived. I almost felt a bit guilty about what we
did, but that guilt was diminished by the reception we received from
the crowd - one we did not expect. Always nice to get a nice
surprise.

What does SO stand for?
