2. Bikers, unless the church is a UU church.
And in that case, some of the people would be bikers anyway.

5. By "church full of Christians,"
do you mean "church full of frothing fundamentalists?" Because I'm a mainline Christian and I like being among my congregation.

24. for real, but if it were my church, or most any other normal mainstream
moderate to liberal congregation, no question I'd take the church. Of course some of my church friends are bikers and some have been known to visit bars on occasion

11. Would it really freak you out if the bikers were Christian?
I am a Christian, and my in-laws are bikers, and none of us "fit the stereotype."

15. Unless the bikers felt welcome in that church,
Edited on Thu Mar-03-05 07:13 PM by ktowntennesseedem
I'd rather join them in the bar.

Show me a church that would welcome the bikers and make them feel at home, and I'll show you a church that I want to be a part of!

18. depends on the bar, the bikers, the church, the Christians
I've been uncomfortable and comfortable in both situations. I'm pretty small and nonthreatening so it isn't like I'm going to spook the bikers and cause them to beat me up. I'm more likely to be hassled by the Christians if they're of the proselytizing breed. And yet some Christians are very pleasant and easy-going. So it all depends.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

22. Bikers
I just go up to the bigges, meanest, gnarliest one there (who doesn't have a chick already) and say, "Hi there. Buy me a drink?"

After that, NO problems.

Well, until I try to leave.

26. Bikers!
No:
- Super-Christians
- Gonna-save-ya Christians
- Better-than-all-the-rest Christians



but... if that's your faith, and not all that you are... I'll take Bikers of the Christian persuasion (just not Christian Bikers).
