H.L.S. (Hook, Line & Sinker) Club
In another thread on this forum ("I believed it all !!!"), the original poster, Mark A, started the thread as follows:

Here's a quote from an awesome article about the Catholic view of Christianity and the attitude with which to present it.

Quote:
When I come to the Judgment Day I would rather say, "Well, Lord, I’m sorry, I guess I took it all in, hook, line, and sinker. Yep, I believed it all: transubstantiation, infallibility of the pope, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, incorrupt saints, stigmata, bleeding statues. I was taken in by the whole lot, and I hope you’ll forgive me for being gullible." I’d rather say that than, "I’m sorry, I didn’t believe. I was skeptical. I was cynical. I doubted. I spent more time trying to find out what wasn’t true than discovering what was true."

A few of us on that thread agreed with Mark's post, and said we also believed it all... "hook, line and sinker," which prompted us to say, "We should have a Hook, Line & Sinker Club.
Voilà !
I'm a member. 
How about you?
