Behind me two women talk about their "awesome" pastor. In front of me another woman reads with the Life Application Bible and a Josh McDowell apologetics text called "A Ready Defense" stacked next to her. The parking lot is full of ichthyomobiles.

The groupthink is dreary. I feel like the last one in Orange County who's not an evangelical Protestant Konservative Kristian Klone.

There is a family of Pentecostals (the church, not the island) living next door to me. They hold services at the house 3 or 4 days, with day long celebrations every Saturday. It's got to the point where I find myself thinking things like, 'They're speaking in tongues; it must be Tuesday.'

When I run out of hope, I go and listen to the children singing in the choir at the Cathedral. It doesn't do anything to reduce my loathing for the lead-lined life preserver that much of religion is. But it sure sounds sweet.
