I think one of the reasons people aren’t more <br />devout is that going to church is such a chore. <br />Maybe you and I can think up some ways to <br />make church attendance more enticing. How <br />about having the pastor ride a mechanical bull <br />on the pulpit? You know, like John Travolta in <br />Urban Cowboy. I don’t think that was one of his <br />better movies, by the way. He was good in Pulp <br />Fiction, where Samuel Jackson recites a Bible <br />passage before shooting that guy. That sure <br />made the Bible passage have impact. See, <br />that’s what I’m talking about. Impact. Excitement. <br />Drama. That’s what church needs more of. <br /> <br />Maybe volunteers could dress up in devil suits <br />and curse and scream at parishioners as they <br />make their way in to church. They could yell <br />things like, “No, don’t go in there! Stay outside <br />and do some drugs! ” That would sure wake <br />people up. It would at least be good for a laugh. <br />Either way, the church benefits. Of course there <br />will always be some grouchy members of the <br />congregation who raise a fuss about the whole <br />thing. Just ignore them.
