Jesus, poop, and the Indy 500

Perusing my hometown paper [1] (to which Pop still subscribes), I came across a gem of an article regarding Christ's Family Church in Hastings, Minnesota. ("Oh, Hastings!" I hear you all saying, "isn't that the home of Super Bowl champion tight end Ben Utecht of the Indianapolis Colts?" To which I reply, "Why yes, as a matter of fact, it is.")

Back to the story at hand. It would seem Pastor Paris Pasch has redecorated a bit [2]. Entering the men's room at Christ's Family is now, apparently, like walking on to pit row at the Indianapolis 500 -- replete with hubcaps, brake rotors, brake pads, and a no parking sign above the toilet. A parking meter adorns the wall, and the stall sides and doors are air brushed with flames. I found some images on this blog [3].

"Our men's room gives members a reason to invite people to church," says Pastor Pasch.

Church member and wall artist Scott Girneau agrees. "Too many people feel they don't belong. Our hope is that when a person may not necessarily feel welcome, he can walk into the bathroom and say,'cool!'"

Yeah. That's the first thing I do when I'm feeling unwelcome in a church... head for the can.

"That is what Christ's Family Church is all about: reaching those who have become disenchanted with religion, but are searching for a relationship with Jesus Christ." said Pasch.

Hmmmm. Not only is it freaking cold in Minnesota, but they are all flippin' nuts as well. And you wonder why I moved to the desert.
