LOL, RRRIIIGGHGHttt, there is NOTHING laid back about "Baptist"
Their whole schtik is "Hell fire, Brimstone, The coming Apocalypse and you're going TO HELL!" lol, if that's laid back, I'm Madonna.

It's all pretty creepy no matter what, IMO. I just don't understand how people can form their lives around a book of stories...

It is the precursor to "If you a gutter motherfucker do your dirt"

My bad: I heard the lyrics wrong

As one intimately familar with The Baptist "Fellowship", I can make that statement with a good degree of confidence of it's accuracy. Exceptions prove the rule.

I think the singing is the most scary part of going to church.

the church my parents go to gets way, way scarier than any of the weirdo singing they might do.

Never heard it either. However, for someone with any kind of faith, its pretty easy to understand. Did you once believe that Santa Clause brought you gifts, or the Tooth Fairy replaced your teeth with money? Well, don't you think that if you actually believed in a God that it might just be a little more relaxing if you were in his house and desperately asking for him to fix the fact that the condom broke in the back of your van? Use your brain.

It's mainly for support, some place where you're bound to find a listening ear. I don't think it implies "devils is coming, find religion stat".

According to "End of Days", you aern't protected in a church, even from the Devil, so what's the point.

True, but not nearly to the extent of anti-religious threads on ATOT. There's a new one every day it seems and its the same crap over and over ...

Because there is a large portion of people stuck in a place mentally where they are really confused as to how so many people can believe that a god exists. It's easier to bring it up online then it is to people in real life.
