I only go to church when I'm at work...

I went to Church with my client on Sunday. The pastor made a joke during the service...

One day, an Atheist was fishing in lake, in a boat.
Suddenly the Loch Ness Monster emerged from the waters and was about to eat the atheist and the boat.
The Atheist cried 'Oh God, please help me!'
Suddenly the scene freezed for the moment and the Loch Ness monster stopped, with it jaws almost devouring the Atheist.
There was a light from the sky and a voice boomed. 'I thought you did not believe in me...'
The Atheist replied, ' Oh give me a break... I did not believe in the Loch Ness monster until 2 minutes ago.'

I laughed at that... but I still not too sure about what it meant to me.

During the second part of the service, the service organizers prepared an 'exercise' for people. They made a big rectangle with 4 smaller boxes on the floor with masking tape. The boxes had the words 'Sorry', 'Praise', 'Thanks' and 'Please' in them. People were suppose to stand in each part and pray/ talk to God about they sins they have done, how great is God, for the things that He has given them, etc. I stood on the outside of the rectangle and watched as the believers made their rounds around the boxes. Some sat on the floor, some knelt on the groun and some stood up. Some spoke aloud and some prayed silently to God. I stood outside the rectangle with my client... clearly seeing how I was away from the supposed person up there...
