Look around.
Compare this service
to the morning mass
you just came from,
going there in secret
just to find Him
What IS this?
This is the culture
in which you were raised.
This
is its religion.
This
is its heart.
You were raised
in a cuture of
performance.
The goal
is to be
sinless
Everything
is about the production.
Everything
is about the presentation.
Everything
is about the perception.
Just look.
Just listen.
Songs you cannot sing along to.
Do not sing ~ listen, and marvel.
That child is only 8.
Is that marvelous?
How lovely!
How precious!
How wonderful,
my darling!
Our God is so pleased
with any performance
that drops the name
Jesus
Praise the Lord
for creating this
blessed little angel
of less than average
talent
Skits and dramas
to keep you
entertained,
and happy,
and quiet.
That was a joke;
did you catch it?
Know your lines.
No one out here
really does. No
one out here
dares to even
ask why
Don’t worry, little sheep.
You don’t have anything
important to do but just
show up and
fill up your
gullet with
our export
Bleating is banned
in our happy green
pastures that our
shepherdish sheep
have planted and
grown just for you
Eat it.
Eat from
our tree.
After all,
you know
no better.
We do.
This is what
our safe plastic
green pastures
tastes like. Isn’t it
so very
chewy?
Isn’t it
deliciously
safe?
Just sit back, relax,
and enjoy the show.
We wouldn’t want you
to feel pressured to do
anything which would
violate the colors of
the flag flying over
your hearts inner
castle, the red
white, and
blue.
Hail our
land of
promise.
We are moral;
We are patriots;
We are masters;
We are sovereign;
We are our very own
kings and priests.
God wills it.
We are God,
renamed and
repackaged
for children
Nice
and
safe
Just go “ba”
like a good
little lamb
and follow
our voices
Are you not entertained?!
Now fix your eyes front:
Oo! A video! A video!
Just like Hollywood!
Except not them,
never like them,
for we are not
pagan and
wicked as
they are
thank
God
What IS this?
Don’t worry,
Its not too long
Its not too short
Its just a bumper
And look at the Holy
Immaculate Conception
of the Director’s Divine Vision.
Behold his holy, heavenly
advertisment
No skip buttons;
for our ads are
Holy.
Shame on you
for wanting to
click skip
on the presentation
of our rich, white,
lamed, tamed, and
cockless Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son
of Ourselves.
Smile.
Laugh.
Everyone else is.
Do you have a demon?
Are you living in wordly sin?
Did you have your quiet time?
Is your study guided by the approved
and canonized curriculum belonging to
the specialized saints in Grand Rapids?
Why is it that do you not enjoy and feast upon
our Lord and Savior
as We do – We who
remake Him and
distill Him and
make him
edible for
sheep
like
u?
What an exciting sermon series!
What a life changing activity
to add to my calendar!

Oooooooo

We are so cool
Oooooooo
ahhhhhhhh
We are so pure
Oooooooo

We are so godly
Glory be
to the God
our hands
have made.
We make God
so very proud
with our actions
Just look around.
Look at how we
live.
Look at what we
sing.
Look at what we
do.
Look at us.
Hallelujah,
look at us.
Look at what we DO.
Look at how we spend.
Look at what we create.
These are the Lord’s dollars,
and the highest sign of his divine
blessing,
approval,
and favor
Of US.
We
are blessed by Him.
We are.
Look at new our manger scene.
Look at the 4k image quality of
our lord and savior brought to life
on the silver screen
Are you not entertained?
Hail unto Our Father,
The Great God of Us
who reins on
Our Throne
the One we made
the One we built
the One we chose
the One we told Him
to sit upon, forever.
Welcome to planet Earth
Home of The Humans
where the Imago Dei
is alive and well,
casting Shadow
and naming it
“Our God”
and all bow down
and worship him,
and him alone.
