What if our churches are nothing but products to be consumed? Scene 1, Churches R Us counter Teller: Could I help you? Customer: Yeah, I'd like a church. Teller: What size? Mega, Regular, or small group Customer: well...make it small group. Teller: What flavor? Traditional, Late 90's Contemporary, or PoMo? Customer: What's the difference between Late 90's Contemporary and PoMo--don't they both have good music? Teller: On Contemporary we hold the angst and add the color coordination...Pomo also has cool candles. Customer: Ah, yes, then make it a PoMo...color coordination has never set well with my stomach...but heavy on the angst. Teller: Ok then, one PoMo Small Group church (extra angst)...would you like anything else with that? We have a special on "cutting-edge" feelings with our PoMo churches today. Customer: Okay, I'll have one of those too. Scene 2, Churches R Us eating area Customer1(after angst drips from the church onto his shirt): Ahh crap, now I've got angst all over me! Customer2 (smiling at next table): Yep, that angst always makes a mess.
