Obama Trades Church for the Gym and the Top Ten Excuses For Avoiding Church

President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.

On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.

Asked about the president-elect's decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.

That's a new one for me. Here's the ten more of the top excuses for avoiding church:

10. I was forced to as a child.

9. People who go to church are hypocrites; they don’t practice what they preach.

8. There are so many different kinds of churches, I can’t decide which one to attend.

7. I used to go, but I got bored and stopped.

6. I only go on special occasions, like Christmas and Easter.

5. None of my friends will go with me.

4. I’ll start attending when I get older.

3. I don’t really have time to go to church.

2. I don’t believe that church does anybody any good. It’s just a crutch.

and the # 1 excuse for not attending church …….

The church is just after your money.
