During my lunch break at work today I was sitting at a table with two women. One of them was about to get married and mentioned that she had to meet the “Reverand” this week so that they could make plans for the wedding. She had heard from friends that he was “very good” [?] but “liked to talk about God and Jesus” [no! He's a Christian clergyman...that's a shocker...]; however, she would have none of that…”I will tell him that I don’t want to hear anything about God or Jesus”, she said, to which her friend loudly replied, “right on!” - “I just want to be in and out [of the church]“, she continued.
And I’m sitting there thinking, why get married in a church in the first place? Why not just have a civil ceremony, if you want to be married? Is it the love of ritual or rites? The pomp and circumstance?
At any rate, what a joke Christianity has become in the West…when not even your average secretary believes in its claims.
