The Prompt: Write about church from an unsaved person’s POV. Now write about church
from a saved person’s POV. Write a third story from a religious
person’s POV. Notice how each story changed?
Everyone looks so fake. They're smiling and shaking hands. No one is that cheerful. They must be on something. Or maybe it's a psychological trick to lure you in. That's what the whole place is, a gimmick. They say all the right things, try to appeal to your sympathies and guilts and troubles, and right when you're at their most vulnerable, they get you to convert. They probably have a contest to see which church has the most converts. They don't really care about you once you (how do they) "accept Jesus." You get ignored. Those pastors and ushers probably pocket all the offering money too.
I'm so uncomfortable in here, with all this singing and raising hands. The lyrics don't make sense. Now they want me to hug some stranger! I'm not sure why I told my friend that I would come. I'll be polite and listen to what this pastor is saying, but I don't believe it. Christianity is too antiquated to be effective anymore. A couple of the things they say are nice, but a religion just isn't for me.
