"those that are closest to church, are furthest from God"
There is some logic to that parable, in an albeit general sort of way. I am not by any means, "anti-church", if spirituality gives you comfort, then knock yourself out...fill your boots. (also parables, but somewhat less profound ones)
The other day, I discovered that some inconsiderate, jackass, jerk, idiot, etc. etc. taped a biblical passage to my vehicle (John 3:16) and in doing so damaged the paint. The passage also invited me to his church. What a method to pave the way to salvation and present a positive image of your church! By taping something to my car. Yes, this is definitely the type of people I want to spend my sunday with...the kind that "advertise" by damaging other people's property. (insert sarcasm here)
Marketing 101-Don't piss off your potential consumer base..like d'uh
I'm pretty sure that even Jesus would agree that the person that did this was an idiot. Now, he'd still love them mind you...we're all God's children. But, he would agree that the person was an idiot.
