Organized Religion is Fun

I was driving from the girlfriend's house out to my folks this morning and drove by the church we used to go to. The parking lot was full, parked four rows deep in spots. Cars in the front were facing out. Cars in the back were backed in, facing out. Parking around the side of the church was full, parking around the school was full too. The majority of the vehicles parked there were backed into their spaces. Facing out. If going to church is so fun, how come everyone seems to park as if they can't wait to get out when it's over?

When I go to a Cardinals or a Blues game, I pull in front first. I can't wait to get there. I don't care about after the game, it doesn't concern me. I'll sit in traffic for twenty minutes, backing out, waiting for police to manually direct traffic. But these church goers, who love their weekly praise offerings, their mouths say one thing about loving church and throwing away an hour or two of their weekends, but the body language of their vehicles tells a different story. Seems like they don't want to spend any more time at church than absolutely necessary.
