If I ever convert. . .

It would have to be to join a church with name like The Church of Spilled Blood.

That said, it's pretty clear that the members of the church, and certainly the priest, are annoying little twits, who should listen to theatre director, the only person quoted in the article with a triple-digit IQ.

But still. Church of the Spilled Blood. That fucking rocks.

Y'know, in a way, all churches are the Church of Spilled Blood. So you might not have to convert at all. That's assuming you belong to a church, which seems... improbable.

Yeah, but most churches cover that up and call themselves things like "Our Lady of the Sweet Cuddly Puppies." This one embraces the blood.

And no, I don't belong to any church, nor am I planning to join one. :-)

I read that as "Spoiled Blood" first, and though that hm, that kinda goes compeltely against everything I know the word church to stand for. Spilled makes more sense, but I kinda like the idea of spoiled too.
Or something... (and I call myself a christian? Oioi.)

You could start one, though. This Spilled Blood thing is an excellent draw for the Over-The-Bullshit set. I'd join.

This is the real Church of Spilled Blood (or the whole name is Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood). in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was built on the execution site of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. The whole thing is done in mosaic. It was incredible to see up close.
