Missing The Point But Filling Seats

It was brought to my attention by Channel 7’s Sunrise and The Morning Show that Riverside Church in Victoria is starting a sermon series on sex. It is entitled “The Best Sex You Will Ever Have.” Their website features a picture of two pairs of feat poking out the end of a bed, one pair being that of the pastor the other being that of his wife.

This must have caused some controversy for Sunrise to include it in their “All Stars” segment as well as on The Morning Show where they employed the opinions of a “sexologist.”

All concerned went on to prescribe what they would like the church to say. This would include promoting safe sex practices and the inclusively of alternative lifestyles such as homosexuality. They also exclaimed how the church makes them feel guilty about their sexual pleasures.

Initially I was a little annoyed at how they clearly don’t get it and don’t have a clue about what they are talking about. But then I thought how they will probably guarantee that Riverside church will be packed to the rafters for the entire sermon series.

Congratulations to those at Channel 7 for becoming the newest Tele-evangelists.
