Some believers are really getting desperate. Since God won’t make a personal appearance, then send in the clowns! In the photo, Pastor Tom Rives,costumed as KoKoMo the clown, left, and Kim Fults, as Paisley, perform a skit during a Christmas show at the Carrollwood Baptist Church about what Xians believe is the real meaning of Christmas. (We all know it's all about presents and Santa Claus. Without capitalism, and all the pagan aspects, Xmas would be just another dull and boring church day for Xians.)
Now, it's hard enough to take god believers' mythology seriously, but even moreso when when they have to start resorting to calling in clowns and circus acts to manipulate their own CHURCHGOERS! There must be a whole lot of atheists/agnostics hiding in churches! And of course, we must consider ways they invent to attempt to brainwash the children…what better way than a clown (well, for those who don’t hate clowns, anyway. I am not particularly fond of clowns and they only send me running for the nearest exit.)
(I am laughing while writing this)
Clowns spread the Gospel
The irony of that statement is hilarious!
Rives believes clowning is a means to teach about Christ. “People who wouldn’t talk to a preacher will talk to a clown,” he says.
Well, at least they are being honest for once. A preacher is much more annoying and sometimes scarier than a clown.
Out of sight, Rives and 10 other clowns gather in a circle while the pastor prays.

Funny, because my next post on Rodney Stark's "Discovering God" is going to be titled: Send in the Christians.
tommy, hahahaha - too funny!
My husband and I were just talking about that song a couple of minutes ago, trying to remember who sang it. Was it Judy Collins?
Freakin weird. Oh, and you can "tithe" on line now too.
Sometimes I think people who believe this happy crappy are the ones that aren't really enjoying their lives, so they just got to believe in a better life in the "here-after". I sort of understand the thinking, but wish I could find some way to TRY to make them strive for a better life now.
Ack! That involves trying to reason with them. Never mind!
