Holy Church of Starbucks!
I am in a Starbucks trying to get some work done, and I never blog from a freakin’ Starbucks, but HOLY SHIT, there are more churches having meetings here! What the hell? It’s sooo weird. Every single “group” of people in here is doing a bible study or religious proselytizing… ok, in fairness, they are only planning their proselytizing to be inflicted later. They are talking about an “angel collection” — please see if you can find little angels around town or at home and bring them Sunday. Why?
The table closest to me has made off with the other three chairs from my table and is running at full tilt to figure out how to partner with area churches to “mission” to the unsaved in our area. Shame… all they had to do was look over their shoulder. Although, technically I was “saved” about 30 years ago.
They are talking about recruiting high schoolers from the sports teams en masse to participate in various events. They are handing out brochures of events in the area and thinking about how they can promote fund-raisers and fun runs to raise money for all sorts of shit. Didn’t hear Haiti mentioned, or AIDS, or any other social problem. Just getting the word out… that was the chief concern. So annoying. If the average belief/non-belief split in the US is about 85/15, it’s got to be 98/2 in my neighborhood. We have got to move soon. I cannot relate to these people.
