shut-up, jesus freaks…i’m trying to make people laugh here!

some shiti just can’t make up…

…and when i saw this was the HEADLINE story on the local paper (versus, say, the impending first time austin has seen snow in several years) i had to read on.

turns out this church had moved in next to a comedy club their wednesday night service got so loud it disrupted the funny on the other side of the wall. apparently, to the comedians, this was no joking matter!

(sorry – i couldn’t resist)

so, they went to the landlord and said he could either have loud jesus or loud comedy – but not both.

at press time this debate was still raging on. the church cries foul, and even tried to play the race card (predominantly black church), but considering the comedy club brings in a ton of cash for the strip center AND has been there forever AND the church was kicked out of it’s last building for making a little TOO much “joyful noise unto the lord” they might find themselves out of a building. the pastor of the congregation said they’re losing members due to them “having to relocate three times in the last year”.

what the fuck?

if you’ve had to move three times in twelve months you need to tone it down. period. when the bible says “shout his praises” they don’t mean it literally, much like when you say “scream my name bitch!” during sex you don’t actually WANT her to…

…oh wait – yeah, you do. forget that last part.

but whatever happened to that whole “silent reflection” thing i’ve read about with you church folk?
