Now shining on the lighted sign at the ELCA church down the street:WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE?
I have a hypothesis: A "Christian" church grows more tolerant of pious tackiness as any meaningfully Christian content drains out of its message. The tacky, bumper-sticker theology quoted above may back me up on this. If Christ had any influence on this church's theology, it would say rather: "WHAT HAS THE KING OF HEAVEN DONE ON EARTH FOR YOU?"
