This post will be controversial even by our standards because it falls into a grey area. Some of you will be upset by what this church has done and others of you will be upset that people are upset because you don't think this is a big deal at all. But we offer it to you as a 'think piece' exhibit.
Below is a composite of photographs taken at a church event billed as the "Pig Out BBQ and Baptism".
There was a time when Baptism was considered a Holy and Sacred thing. It was approached with the reverence befitting a holy gift from God. But, today's seeker-sensitive, 'mimic the world' approach to doing church has reduced baptism to something that is now done at a 'Pig Out BBQ'. We at the Museum of Idolatry would be ashamed to allow ourselves to be baptized at a 'Pig Out BBQ'.
We mourn for the loss of the sacred the reverent and the holy in our churches.
What's next "Poker, Karaoke and Baptism Night"? Imagine how relevant and irreverent that would be.

How sad it is that anything is acceptable today.
