Doc,
While I agree with you, most banks talk "customer service" and act "give us deposits" and most Churches talk "salvation" and pass the collection plate, I have no doubt that MOST practitioners see the church as seomthing completely different.
I don't want to disparrage anyone's beliefs or trample on their feelings, but, personally, I stopped going to my wife's family's church regularly a couple years ago when they started displaying a "thermometer" that was trakcing the progress of their $1 million dollar fund raiser to build a new church... Now they have their new building and everytime I go I think about the interest they could've been accruing on the $1 million tax free dollars they blew on the building... the message from the podium seems to sound the same as it did in the older (less than 10 yesrs old, BTW!!) building.
Either way.. I carry a gun when I go.
