Kia gone agricultural.
On an unrelated note, I drove over to my grandma’s in south east Kansas for Easter. As usual, went to church with her today but... I finally walked out towards the end of the service. Ironically, it wasn’t my typical issue of one of the pastors going on a weird right wing pro-Putin sermon. Today it was that when they asked someone to pray before lunch one of the obnoxious 30 somethings decided that he was going to give his own Easter sermon instead of a prayer. My dad elbowed me and said “we’re leaving” which I fully wasn’t expecting from him. I’m not a religious person, my family is, but this was so blatantly wrong that even they weren’t having it.
Whatever, when it comes to going to church when I visit family I just abide by the immortal words of the great Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch:
“I’m just here so I don’t get fined”

I haven’t gone with my family to their church in over a decade. No reason to give them false hope.

I only go when I’m at my grandma’s to avoid causing my her more stress than the Alzheimer’s already does.

If any pastor goes on any kind of rant defending Russia or supporting Trump, be afraid. I know this goes on, but I have never seen it, even while visiting the occasional rural AL church. Our senior pastor avoids politics, but one of the associates (who is much older, more experienced, and has less to lose) gladly stands up and talks about the sin of building walls, or more recently the evil in coveting weapons. It’s specifically to call people’s personal/bigoted notions into the light.

One of the pastors once went on a long winded rant about how Putin was standing up for Christians. All I could think was, no, he understands that religion is a tool that he can use to increase his own power and he’s using it as such.
