Better to lose their body, than their immortal Soul.

Ex-wife had me attend several Pentecostal churches in central FL. I was approached by several members who urged me to give up my R&D position so my soul would be saved. Science disproves whats in the Bible, ergo science is Satanic and practicing it is the equivalent of Devil worship. I was told that scientists are never satisfied with what God has provided and they keep thinking they can do better. One even offered me a job as a cook in a restaurant so I could give up science. It was to save my soul, you see. There was even a sermon that essentially said that it is better to be obedient and uneducated than to go to college and earn an education for the ways of this world are not the ways of the Lord. I guess for the church coffers, an ignorant congregation is a happy congregation. As a side note, these members were the worst guests a restaurant could have on a Sunday after services. THey are all hyped up about how righteous they are.
