At lunch at a minister's meeting today, we had a discussion about fantasy conversations with parishioners. One was the conversation with the family explaining why they managed to attend church only about 35-40% of the time. The excuse is familiar -- between school and the every-activity-under-the-sun schedule they have created for their family through the kids, "Sunday morning is the only one when we can relax and we don't have to get up."
A number of fantasy answers were proposed, but my favorite was the simplest, and the one I may perhaps summon for myself on that last Sunday before I retire:
"I don't care."
