"Easter: What If It's True?"

i know the new age white christian churches are all about how skepticism is cool and natural and all

but if it's not real, then you're all wasting your time

i can handle a sermon that's based in skepticism about the easter miracle

but that wording is awful

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

3/22/2008 11:28:04 AM

wut?

3/22/2008 11:28:14 AM

what about this one:

3/22/2008 11:35:06 AM

that one is a horrible attempt at being hip and clever

but it doesn't sell out the very foundation of the religion to do it

3/22/2008 11:35:44 AM

you're so edgy and thought provoking vinyl!

3/22/2008 11:36:17 AM

i'm neither of those things

but i do hate these types of churches

3/22/2008 11:38:38 AM

apparently the sign works because you're on here spreading their sermon advertisement .... i don't think signs like that are really for the congregation.

3/22/2008 11:57:45 AM

i understand it's to draw people in

but the absurdity of it pushes people away

DO YOU AGREE WITH MIKE

3/22/2008 12:04:46 PM

pushes people away that weren't gonna go anyway?

3/22/2008 12:05:07 PM

sometimes I miss the old ritualistic Catholic services

no room for doubt
just don't think and go through the motions

or you'll burn

3/22/2008 12:06:49 PM

i'm not opposed to going in general

sometimes i go to different churches just to watch people

but i'm sure as hell not going to that one now

3/22/2008 12:27:41 PM

wait... but God isn't real

and I find going to academic lectures more rewarding than most sermons

3/22/2008 12:28:44 PM

yes you are right, that one really irritates me. like, really REALLY irritates me. glad i'm not alone.

3/22/2008 12:45:58 PM

huzzah!

3/22/2008 12:57:31 PM

it bothers me that people would get irritated over this

3/22/2008 12:57:59 PM

how's that

3/22/2008 12:58:25 PM

I've been to that church. It's where my dad goes.

One time there was like a debate on capitalism and it's negative influence on the church and they were one of the panelists. They said it's a shame.

They also have a Starbucks outside of their sanctuary, inside of the church.

3/22/2008 1:00:48 PM

do they have a fundamentalist doctrine with a strong misogynistic leaning that they veil with hipness?

3/22/2008 1:05:19 PM

Absolutely.

3/22/2008 1:06:07 PM

^^^^because i dont know how it could irritate someone so that bothers me

3/22/2008 10:37:36 PM

come to the church of jackleg

EASTER, SO WHAT IF ITS TRUE

3/22/2008 10:38:59 PM

maybe if you went to church you wouldnt be a cutter

3/22/2008 10:39:35 PM

Haha the one at my church hasn't been put up yet, but I'm sure it will probably read "Christ is risen! Alleluia!!"

we're not original!

3/22/2008 10:40:08 PM

you're also not lame

3/22/2008 10:43:27 PM

churches are built up to get money mostly these days



i can think of one though that is halfway decent
