So I went to church this morning for the first time in awhile. I gotta say, I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. The sermon this morning was more like a donation pep-talk than anything else. It's like I get the whole "Joy of Giving" thing, but I seriously hear about every time I go to church. And I'll hear it multiple times in a sermon. I didn't like the the Catholic church because I don't believe you have to be baptized to find God and that seems to be a central theme. It just felt really exclusive, like I was trying to get in to a club that didn't really want me there. Now the Lutheran church wants me to constantly be opening my checkbook otherwise I'm not a good Christian. I just don't think that money is the end-all be-all of the Christian faith. I think it might be time to start looking for another church.
Plus, I don't really like the be super social and that's like enough to send you to the seventh circle of hell. But I don't think anyone wants to be super social either, they just feel like they have to be because that's "what Christians do." What does that even mean?
