It's just getting old fast. Having the same convos with everyone.
Church: aren't we great?
Person: no actually here's an area that is bad.
C: wow. And I thought we were doing so well.
P: I can help you fix it.
C: well I'm not convinced you're right about this thing that you would know more about than us, but in any case we have a committee for that.
P: do you have ppl on your Cmte that get this thing?
C: no but they get church.
P: but the church is causing the problem with the thing. You're not getting the thing.
C: have you ever served on a committee in church?
P: no but this thing directly affects me and I'm an expert on this.
C: well, you just don't understand church. There's more here than just that one thing. Look at how well we are doing ordaining women.
P: you have women ministers here?
C: no but our denomination does.
P: then how does...wait, that isn't even the thing!
C: why do you want to focus so much on one thing? We're talking about Jesus and so many other things.
P: yeah but you asked me about how great church was and here's an area where we can do better.
C: you must not know about our church. Here's a different thing we faced a long time ago and we fixed it really good. Trust us.
P: I don't think it was really fixed. Cuz it looks like maybe this thing is connected.
C: of course we fixed it. It's our history.
P: well even if you did, the thing I'm talking about is broken.
C: broken isn't a word we like to use.
P: fucked up, messed up, unchristian, ridiculous, stupid, WRONG.
C: you know, your voice is important...but I hear that you're really angry. This church is really about being happy and peaceful.
P: then maybe this church isn't for me.
C: really?! But we're so great!!
