Alienated Church: Father's and Mother's day

[Nitehawk013]

So no matter what you do or say in church, make sure that no one is ever uncomfortable or alienated? Thats impossible, not to mention just a plain ol dumb way to approach service.

Look, I completely understand what Prax's stance on this is. He thinks service should spend a moment recognizing dads, but then move on and have actual service. This way people like him don't have to sit through a, God forbid, program about dads and don't feel alienated.

I understand it, but there is no rationale for anyone getting as bent out of shape over a non-issue as he has over a silly father's day service. Even if your dad on earth stunk to high heavens, was abusive, drunk etc...you still had a dad. That means on Father's day you shouldn't feel alienated...you had/have a dad even if he was a lousy one.

If anything, pay attention on father's day to the fathers in the church and realize what a good dad should be. Learn from it, so you will be a better father. If you are not and never will be a father...I don't know what to tell you. Suck it up and go to church. WE are supposed to be part of the church, part of the TEAM, and sometimes you do what is best for the whole team even if it really just is an annoyance to you.

So I'm sorry, but this whole "Im not a father and I thinkit alienates a few peopel so I won't go to my church on fatehrs day" attitude IS just childish and selfish no matter how you spin it. I get sick of hearing about stupid things like tithing, but I don't just skip church when I know Pastor will be teachign about it. It's MY church so I need to suck it up and be there because I am part of the team.
