We have a basement in our church. Why don't we just set up a closed circuit broadcast of the church service and broadcast it to a big screen in the basement. That way all the shabbily dressed ones, the obese ones, the handicapped ones, the snot nosed kids and the homeless ones can watch it on their own. We won't have to look at them or smell them in our service upstairs.
That would really solve a lot of problems don't you think!

That is a great idea. I think I will recommend to my church, The Church of the True Jesus. We provide free valet parking to anyone who contributes over $10,000 a year. We also provide a continental breakfast for them. We give day-old donuts to the rest, who aren't serious Christians.

That is a Neo-Nazi attitude and does not belong in the church. The Nazis tried this with their master race project and with the Reich Church, Hitler's propaganda machine for the Third Reich. This is trying to create the perfect Christian and the perfect worship service. the devil is behind all this thinking, but there are a lot of churches that are trying to do exactly what you suggest. The very people that you want to isolate are the very ones that need the love of Christ. If you are looking for the perfect church you will never find it because just as soon as you walk into it the church will become imperfect. So while you are segregating people from the sanctuary include yourself in the basement and bring the rest of the congregation with you. Jesus loves you and you need his help.

I will assume you are being satirical here! So while you are at it, why not set up a special disinfectant entrance-way into the basement? Everyone can be deloused and spritzed with a nice, fresh cologne prior to watching the service on the big screen. That way, the chances of any bugs or disease will not accidentally get upstairs and infect the high brows. Neither will that nasty smell. Very Christian, ya think?

You still not content with the aisle separating the rich and the unsuitables!? Maybe you should have a new church built where the interior looks like that one in an opera house, where the rich occupies the balcony or rooms for their use and the unsuitables are just down at the bottom seats away from the snotty people!

People like you make me want to vomit!!!!!! You talk about church, therefore I guess you consider yourself a christian. Have you read the part in the bible about 'Thou shall not judge?' What is it a satanic church? Unsuitables??? Who the heck do you think you are??? Friggin hypocrits!!!!! For all the judging you are doing of others, God will judge you harder.

Well, this is certainly one way to get a conversation going. If you do that, Jesus will be down in the basement too. He always was hanging around with "the undesirables".

This is not a good solution unless we want God to get up and leave the service as well - because we are playing favorites, judging others by their appearance, not speaking and acting as those who will be judged according to mercy. (James 2:1-13)

Did you know, that God is not in any church - sitting there
waiting day in and day out for people to come and worship him?
Most Churches are social clubs for people like you.

do you have a chair there for those who think they are so much better than anyone else or do these type of people have a separate room in the basement with their own TV ?
