My experience with religion mirrors my experience with drugs; I’ve dabbled a little bit due to peer pressure from friends but nothing ever stuck. I have never been addicted and never really wanted to delve in deeper, and something try more. Which is why this sign confused the snot out of me. My limited understanding of religion does not really explain this… um, convenience of a drive-thru for a holiday like Ash Wednesday. Aren’t the ashes supposed to be a symbol of humility and sacrifice? Can you really get that leaning out your car window at the church drive-thu?
I totally realize that this is very much kettle/black snarky comment because I totally got married in a drive-thru chapel in Vegas BUT in my defense, we weren’t taking the wedding seriously. The marriage, yes but the wedding, we thought, could be something simple and cheap and entertaining. And it was - $25 dollars worth of entertaining. Sure it was a drive-thru but we weren’t sticking our heads out a window and asking to be absolved of all our sins. Heck, we were in Vegas. We were planning on committing some. It’s always easy to judge from my side of the drug-free fence but at least I’m getting out of the car to point fingers.
