Christian Mind F*$#

So, today I get a call from one of the council members of my church. I think it is something nice, like a request to teach sunday school or some shit like that. But no. In fact, it is a call to say basically that my family has been put on notice. My son, loud as his is, seems to be causing a disturbance in church for the 90 year old members of the congregation. Our family is one of the only ones with young children. In fact, we are the ONLY family with young children; the other child is a four year old and he's a grandchild, not a child. So now I feel unwelcome in the house of god. This upsets me mightily because until recently, I hadn't been a church goer or even a believer. I came to the Lutheran church because it was inviting, accepting and welcoming. Well, after these un-Christian activities, I don't think I'm going to that church anymore. That is sad, because the church congregation desperately needs an infusion of young families. Most of the congregation members are older, like senior citizen older, or have children that are grown. So, basically, no new familes and the church will die. Oh well. Guess, the children's service that the pastor was going to have this weekend is going to be missing a few, if not the only, children. There are "children" in the congregation, but the youngest is probably 8 or 9, which really isn't a child in my eyes. Those kids can sit quietly and listen. My son is 2 1/2 years old, so it is difficult for him to sit still and be quiet. The only way he is going to learn how to do that is by attending church, which we can't do because they don't want us there. What would Jesus do? Apparently, he'd tell you to piss off.
