There's nothing like Sunday School to make you an atheist.

"I don't know, cause its Jesus time" - Connor

When this podcast was announced: Expectations: hahah anime tiddies go brrr Reality : Connor went to sunday school ; garnt refuses to eat pizza crust ; joey was pro pianist

I went to both a Catholic Middle and High school. Had religion classes, but thank J-man my parents never made me go to Sunday school.

Imagine going to Sunday school *This comment was sadly made by the Saturday school Gang*

As a kid, losing Saturday or Sunday is one of the biggest losses you can have

*Connor* - one of the Wise Men *Garnt* - the snowman The world keeps on proving that Connor is indeed an Anime Protagonist

I'm a born and raised Roman Catholic and I still find this hilarious and true. I have to agree with Connor, having any Organized Religion shoved down your throat at such a young age when you're not even aware of how most things work will have the opposite effect and make people turn away from religion.

Going to Sunday School always made me car sick for some reason

Ahh yes, one of the many snowmen in the Middle East

So Cannur couldn’t win over Jesus’s love

Now i can't stop imagining little Garnt in a snowman outfit doing a T-pose on stage asserting dominance

this is going to become a legendary podcast very soon

If you ever wondered what Stewie Griffin would be as an adult: it’s Connor.

I went to a "nondenominational Christian" school a kid and got several "Christian leadership" awards for my grades. As Buddhists my parents found it hilarious.

Sunday school in a nutshell: Jesus

As a believer it’s hard to hear this one, but I had a totally different experience where I did have a choice to follow and practice. Oof.... if they can’t even teach u what prayer is for, I can understand why you’d be opposed to it now.

when i went so sunday school i was like super super shy and started literally crying because they tried to make me roll a jesus dice in front of everyone and that traumatized me to never go again 💀

Bruh try going to a Black Church. We start on Sunday Morning but don't go home til Wednesday evening. "Refreshments in the back" means a plate of Thanksgiving dinner with a soda. Sunday school was lit though cause the Youth program was active and my mom would let us sing

I went to school (and I hated it)

i remember going to church on sundays sometimes as a kid... when we were told to pray i prayed for the service to end sooner... thats how i learned that praying doesnt do shit

This guy hates everything XD

The closest my parents ever got to making me religious is getting Prince of Egypt on VHS for me to watch. Religious or not, that is a great fucking movie.

I have to agree with all that "nothing more discouraging than pushing religion on kids" argument. My mom never cared about religion, but my grandma was "Catholic" (as in, she claimed to be religious, yet I can count on one hand how many times she's been to church during my lifetime) and she always made me go to church on Sundays, even if I didn't care much about it. One time I wanted to stay home during Easter, she threatened me she'll stop buying me kids magazines if I don't go (she always bought me one weekly. And I don't wanna go into that, but she bribed me for many years of my childhood). So yeah, after the church confirmation I never returned to church if it wasn't a special occasion like wedding or funeral and I consider myself agnostic. Not like I hate all church-related stuff, but I find it to be more like a branch of science, I like discussing about different beliefs.

Wales has a pretty strong religious tradition. And yeah, most parents are Christmas/easter level religious... or at least keep a membership with the local chapel...

Conner was obviously already too cultured for Sunday school

Protestant christian here😁 Yes we do exist in these kind of channel as well

Lol he is basically me but I was in jewish school and hated it.

As someone who also went to Sunday School, back when I used to go to church a lot, I remember they had this board with stickers for something with our names next to it; and it was something for like a short quiz from either of a story, or short movie of said prophet or person in J-Man's (Jesus) stories. And I remember being so proud of myself for memorizing the characters, and the events that happened. Edit: I also had a vivid memory having the symptoms of a fever and felt sick, then throwing up on my best Sunday clothes. The pastor and his wife knew my family for a long time, and made sure I was okay and took care of me as well. Note: it was a small church

I’m Mexican as someone who’s family was extremely religious and as someone who is religious but not extreme I was never forced to go to Sunday school whether that’s a good thing or not idk

I thank my brain for forgetting all the dumb shit that happened in Sunday school. The only thing I remember is avoiding it like its covid and surprise surprise I'm an atheist now

thanks for the giant red arrow making the connection between connor and sunday school, i was a bit confused how the two were related

I actually didn't mind going because it was the only way to hang out with my friends from primary school. Still remember one time when me and a friend of mine were in mass, in the back seats, and he just brought a GBA. I was very nervous trying not to act suspicious while he just gamed the time away.

My Sunday school was lit we had puppet shows and we got to watch movies and play games then story time from the Bible then got to play until it was time to get picked up

Sunday School back when I was a kid was just daycare for christians.

My parents weren't even christian and they made me and my siblings go to Sunday school. They just wanted free daycare service lol. Sunday school is my most hated memories from childhood.

If connor was in medieval spain he would experience something unexpected.

At my primary school we had to pray in morning assembly. Looking back on it, it was definitely weird

Why are you guys so relatable! 😂 I grew up in a strict religious home and I can relate do being forced to go to church and participate in the events and youth groups. My college even requires religious attendance inorder to attend the school.

I'm a Christian myself and I think it's unfortunate that there's a lot of people like Connor who had a negative experience with Sunday school or with church and it's not only because I think they were forcing it upon them, but also because they perhaps didn't clarify or explain properly the doctrines of the faith, like who Jesus is and how to get saved. I would never force my beliefs on anyone, but at the same time, regardless of what your religious position is, questions like, Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going after I die? are serious and important questions not to be glossed over. When you study the New Testament, you'll realise there's far more to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus than just an entertaining story to pass time, as there have been tonnes of studies throughout the centuries that show that there was a real person called Jesus of Nazareth who lived 2,000 years ago and that the Apostles were transformed by this man's life and testimony. I know many people would probably look at my comment and think I'm talking nonsense, but if you truly consider yourself to be an open-minded person, then seriously consider the evidence for the Christian faith, because if you do, you might be really challenged by your own worldview and presuppositions and most importantly, your eternal destiny and soul matters!

Conner: What is this Jesus?

I REALLY depise going to church every Sunday considering that there's already 5 days of waking up very early to go to school. Not to mention, everyday, I was forced to listen to a sermon/bible reading. And my parents are so fucking dense that they couldn't figure out why we don't want to personally reading the bible, pray for 90% of the day, just talk about religious stuff or play Christian music with no regard to how loud the speakers are, when they keep shoving the religion stuff 24/7 into our faces. The only thing I appreciated during the pandemic is how we aren't forced to wake up early in Sundays, considering I have a stressful college schedule.

My father is ACTUALLY super religious and yeah, until I went to college, I was forced to go to Sunday school - and Sunday service - and Wednesday night service - every time it happened. I intentionally went to an out-of-town college JUST so I didn't have to go to church anymore. And he STILL hasn't let up, just a few days ago I got a Christmas card from him and instead of anything sentimental, it was a paragraph telling me I needed to go to church. And he wonders why I don't go to church, as if forcing it for the first 18 years of my life wouldn't make me hate it.

I help at my Sunday school lol

Our Sunday School is basically in Saturday and the only reason i hated it because of my parents specifically my mom, Thing is i really like what the teacher is discussing and i learn a lot of life lessons/advices and it was actually fun. The thing i really hated though is the homework/assignments and that part where mom is always nagging me to the point i just stop going to sunday school because of my mom because i just wanted to go to the sunday school to hear the teacher's discussion and just learn without doing any homework/assignments and apparently it just impossible and the pressure of keeping up with your churchmates when it comes to the assignments,when my teacher ask me if i done my assignments,multitasking with school, and of course from your parents. Mind you i did do my homework/assignments but i wasnt to answer all of them and sometimes you cant just even answer them because the question hard is For those any parents who wants their child to go to the church make sure it's genuine and not you want them to be just to be "good" because church is more than that and of course make sure to not put many pressure of them and at least try to help them and im pretty sure they will appreciate it.

I don't think that being religious has neceseraly anything to do with going to Church. It's just about what do you believe or not.

I remember hating Sunday School so much that I drew in the books during the lessions

Thank you Sunday school.... You are doing good work. 😂

Went to a catholic school because like 90% of schools in Ireland are as such. Which lead to regular prayering and bible time. By the time I was starting secondary school I was certain that "nah this isn't for me bro" but my parents pushed me to keep going to mass on sunday until I was 16 even though I am convinced low-key the only reason they go every week is not wanting to deal with the hassle that would come from my very religious grandfather (who is kind enough to not tell me he's disappointed in me to my face but I can't help but think he is definitely thinking it sometimes)

I had Sunday school as well and I did not enjoy my time there it was really bad.

This was the same with me and going to the Mosque. The only difference was that I was honestly brainwashed to a point we’re not being able to read their holy books made me think I was going to burn in hell. Thank God I escaped that toxic environment😅 no offense to anyone

I can relate Sunday school was the worst instead of coloring they gave me homework (went for two weeks stopped after that)

I have a buddy who got himself ex-communicated by putting food colouring in the holy water I don't how old he was when he did it but I have a feeling it was during late elementary to early adolescent . His mom found it funny!

Shout out to veggie tales for carrying me through Sunday school

Parents think there child is innocent when they go to church..but they haven’t seen there search history yet

I went what was basically a Church of England school and it wasn’t till I moved schools that I realised just how religious the school was like we would have to go to church every month or so and on every second Friday we would a service assembly instead of the usual daily assembly. Then when I moved to a different school and the only thing that happened was hymns and a nativity during the Christmas concert it was really weird especially since my old school had put on both Easter and Christmas plays each year - I played Mary when my year did it.

connor quote: "I dont know it was jesus time"

I hated Sunday school too every kid was the son/daughter of the devil

where I live, sunday school is called "Catechism" and it's on Wednesday.

My Sunday school was chill

Was forced to go to catechism too. It was really boring, and I didn't care for it. The same applied to going to church, it was boring and a waste of time but I had to do it because my parents told me to. I always found it to be a waste of time, and even when I ditched all of that back when I was 12, for a couple more years I still had to go there until I told my parents I didn't believe and I wasn't going to go church anymore. Thinking back it was so much wasted time.

I went to Sunday school and liked it. I liked some of the people and the stuff we did. I kind of preferred it over regular school. Didn't care much about regular school though and still never went to my high school reunion

I think the song was supposed to be Joy To The World ( Because of the tempo on how connor sang it )

for a lack of better words, he's preaching to the choir

Nobody: Connor's school 3x a day: *DO RI ME*

I can understand not liking Sunday School because I always felt the same way everytime I had to go to church on Sunday. I felt like I didn’t want to be there and hear all this religious conversation and as a kid, it felt dreadful because it felt like I had to force myself to go in order to get through it. But, I think as an adult, now that I think about religious and existential thoughts I feel like what is said relates a lot more to me now than as a kid. And in the current pandemic now, I feel so much more comfortable watching a livestream of my local church streaming a Sunday mass because I’m in the comfort of my home and it is much more enjoyable to me. I feel like the setting really matters to me because I don’t feel forced to leave my home but I can watch it and be comfortable.

Tell me Gon has seen veggie tales

Singing hymns was the worst and we had to do the Nativity every year

LOL. Just catching up on older clips I have missed Sunday school... well I got kicked out of Sunday School at the age of like 4 or 5. They told my parents I couldn't come back unless I learned to "behave properly" And all because I wanted to play with the cars & trucks instead of playing house/ wife like the other girls.

In Sunday school there was this kid, and my Sunday school teacher brought in large muffins for snacks, and we dared this poor kid to shove the entire muffin in his mouth and called it “man bites”. He nearly choked on it, but he did it. We continue to reference it to this day.

I've been to conservative churches, a private conservative Christian elementary/middle school, private semi-liberal Christian high school. Didn't really have a bad experience anywhere so it weirds me out to hear the environment can be so different for others

My primary school also did things like this My afterschool care even had bible studies, i only liked it for the snacks we got after

Me and my brothers went to a Sunday school and we were the three wise men in the play

I hated going to Sunday school. 2 years of spending sundays and some Wednesdays there instead of doing something else.

I'm gonna call him jman from now

I remember coloring j-man in sunday school

Sunday thing wasn't a thing but we had theology classes and I had to refrain myself from rolling my eyes every time the teacher preached as if the bible was the only truth and was spitting 100% facts in every page.

You guys should watch Sunday School Musical

I remember when I was made to go to sunday school. I hated it and once I almost fell asleep from boredom. My parents really questioned me when I said I didnt want to join the church.

I only remembered that I went to Sunday school and hated it, I also forgot everything I did there.

Besides my mom making me go, I went to Sunday school because I knew we'd get pan dulce an hour later.

Same man it was boring and hard cause for me it was Spanish and my parents made me go expecting I learn more Spanish and years later It didn't work.

Sunday school to me is free snacks, but need to memorize scriptures in order to get a fake currency (something bucks, I forgot what it was called) to purchase a toy at the toy store they operate in the church. The most expensive item was a scooter (not electric) worth 25,000 bucks. There is also a competition in the summer to learn the most scriptures and do these worksheets to earn more bucks.

Honestly I don’t remember shit about my time on Sunday school minus the heaven or hell worlds end crap that scarred me for like a month

I used to drink a lot of coffee at church after everyone was done

They just couldn't handle the Welshtron Style.

Very ducking relatable

Sunday school was fuckin hell

As a person who also got forced by my parents to go to the sunday school..I wish my school have the colouring book task. Cuz man even an 8yr have to study hard in order to past the exam..yes there is an exam in my sunday school :')

I literally had the same thoughts and experience about religion as Connor.

In my primary school (which was in England) you prayed first thing in the day, before lunch, after lunch, after assembley, and end of the day....TOURTURE!! Oh and the religious songs.....

Same....That's all.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. so I must say that I went to Sunday School and loved it. Was a volunteer Sunday School teachers assistant and we incorporated fun ways to teach the Gospel. It depends who your teachers are. Just like in regular schools - there are good teachers and bad teachers. Sorry to hear your experience kept you away from church and learning about the Gospel.

So happy my parents are atheists and I didn’t have to go through that (not to bash Christians, but what kid actually wants to go to school on Sunday)

Wasn't their a dude that wrestled an angel in order to get a blessing, lucifer turning into a dragon, and a book on the art of controlling and destroying demons that was made in 3 years due to the monk making this made a pack with satan in order to finish it... they should of told these storylines or make a play about that for kids to get interested or debate about it

Lesson learned Connor hates Sunday School

As someone who’s grown up Christian my entire life and still forced to go to Church twice a week, I understand Connor so much cause now after all this time I’m starting to not give a shit about it anymore, I’m just Christian because it’s what i’ve always known.

Your experience can really depend on what church you go to. Looks like you got the kind that answers all your questions with: iTs ThE lAw!

Didnt go to sunday school, went to a Chinese school on Saturday though, hated it because it was so boring and quite frankly I never felt motivated and now I regret my life choice.

I’m catholic but I don’t go to Sunday school but instead I go to polish school which is Sunday school but polish and we only do religion for like 1 hour and we have polish stuff for like 4 hours it’s chill tho and I enjoy it
