I have determined that there is a cosmic conspiracy
to keep me out of church. If there isn’t an egotistical pastor preaching long past
the point where people are paying attention, there’s a choir/band that feels
that it is the prime focus of the service, or an organist who makes listening
to the music hell because s/he tries to get fancy with the key changes
mid-verse. (The key-change thing is kind of like listening to somebody crashing
the gears in the car and expecting you to think they’re a great driver.)
Of course, I could just go and listen to the Gospel
and be spiritual; but it’s hard when the people in charge of making you feel
spiritual are so wrapped up in showing off that they forget why people go to
church in the first place.
