In one moment supplicants are entreated to lift up their hearts, and turn towards their fellow man in love and friendship....and all around the world...not but a few minutes after these necessary services, a significant portion of those supplicants lock and load their magazines and blast their fellow man to shit - an early date with the creator. Going from one activity directly to the next, not even stopping to take a piss.
Churches services..are entertainment. They've never been anything other than entertainment. People get worked up at the money they collect, insist that this is some other thing they are (and have always been) but it's the same thing. We pay to watch people dress up in costumes and tell stories that we can easily digest and just as easily discard. This is the religious economy, it's older than money, and every single human being who's ever witnessed it would recognize it in any time and any iteration.
None of those people turn into anything when they leave a church. They were exactly those people while they were inside of one.
Church services would be more entertaining if the brought back the lions...
That's one reason Rome fell - the lions were eating into the prophets.
I'll see myself out...
