No church on Christmas?
Posted by

The contemporary American megachurch is built on one simple article of faith: The customer is always right. That principle, which Jesus of Nazareth, St. Paul, and St. Augustine might have had some trouble grasping, has now been carried to its logical extreme: if Christmas falls on a Sunday, cancel church so that parishoners can stay home with their families.
From all of us here at the RBC to all you blow-dried Mammon-worshipping megachurch entrepreneurs out there (no doubt a large proportion of our readership), a hearty "Happy Holidays!"
