Growing up in the church definetly has given me a few quirks. Like Julie pointed out I am so accustomed to some phrases that I am only surprised when I don't hear the entire phrase, so the "and with you" made me laugh. Other weird things are I know the words to too many hymns.



The most annoying thing about being brought up in the church is that all your friends that were not brought up in the church look to you like you are this authority on religion. For example, I am expected to know every verse in the bible, every story and all the relations such as who's son is who's etc...



On the other hand when I was a kid, church always gave me time to think because I never paid any attention (not that I do when I go home now). Instead I spent the time staring out the window and thinking.
