I like the old style churches. The kind made of wood and with a steeple on the top of the roof. I don’t like the new kind of church that looks like an office building or a warehouse or just some giantific hunk of building taking up all the good scenery. There is no way I would go to church in one of those places. I don’t even think God goes to them either except I doubt the people inside notice. They’re too busy.
The old churches are cool (which look like what I already said so I won’t repeat myself and I added the picture so I won’t have to mention it again). They look like a real person who just got out of bed in the morning which is what most people who go to church look like unless they decorate themselves to go to their fancy church buildings. What’s point I ask you of decorating yourself for God? He supposedly already knows what you look like when you get up and he probably has to deal with the same issues. So I’m guessing he probably likes the old style churches too.
I especially like the tall steeple which point to God up there somewhere. It’s like an antenna that shoots your prayers straight into heaven and it might even pick up God talking too except I’ve never heard that in church only the preacher who always sounds an awful lot like just a person who likes to hear himself talk. Maybe the steeple is only one-way but I don’t know about the statistics of how it works.
I also like the long wood chairs called pews. They are uncomfortable to sit in which they should be since we’re talking religion here. That’s an important reason for religion to make us uncomfortable. If you go to church and are comfortable you might as well stay home in your stuffy chair and listen to what you want to listen to instead of the preacher. But the pews are a great way to be reminded of religion. I only don’t like the name “pew” which seems not to belong in a church except once when I was about 7 I let one slip during church and everybody pretended to ignore it even though it was a major one with a lot of “pew” in it. They thought ignoring it was the religious thing to do I guess. But I would have felt better if somebody would just have yelled out “Whopper!” or something like that, mostly because it was one of the best ones I ever did.
Anyway, if here was an old church around here I might go there even though I’m not religious. I don’t figure I’d get kicked out since God supposedly likes people to show up. I know how I’d feel if nobody came to my party.
A nice thing about old churches is that they still remain faithful to what they were built to do, regardless of what happened inside them which caused them to become empty (like the one in the picture) they continue to remain at their post just in case anyone might come back and pick up where they left off to do what they agreed to do when everyone agreed to build it in the first place, old church buildings seem to be faithful in that respect.
