1. There's always bad music playing
2. The wine's bad
3. People bitch about the bad music.
4. Pubs are very socially egalitarian. Which churches are meant to be.
5. People bitch about the bad wine
6. You can have a good argument in both. The ones in church tend to be more heated, though less violent.
7. Can't smoke in either. Well, actually you can in church, if you count incense.
8. You can have a good gossip in both. In church it's often called 'prayer requests'.
9. This Is My {Pew/Spot at the Bar}. This Has Always Been My {Pew/Spot at the Bar}.
10. All the work is done by three people running around like blue-arsed flies.

Though seriously - I think there is something wonderful about the sense of togetherness you get in a pub. Definitely part of God's redemptive plan for humanity.
