The Baptists have lost their minds: Elevation Church Debuts Water Slide Baptismal. I love it, in the article they interview a guy who was asked "Would you return to Elevation church?" and his answer is no.

Because religion is so boring they have to turn it into entertainment complexes just to get people to show up. All these mega churches have better sound and video systems than most concert venues! At least they know the money they donate is going to something useful like a waterslide and not some food program for the poor or medical supplies for third world countries!
It's a hallmark of modern life that satire is indistinguishable from reality.
The Babylon Bee is a parody web site.
@AwarenessNow Don't feel bad about it. It's just Poe's Law in action.
Although as a kid I went to a Methodist church, with my siblings and no parents. And by school was a full agnostic, yet interested in Eastern philosophy, I had seen up close the Baptist, as my brother married one. As a teen I even went to a tent revival - just like the movies only Hoyer and more miserable. Anyway, back to Babtists: I asked my mother in adulthood why she hadn't taken us to the Southern Baptist as she had been raised. Her answer, " I didn't want to inflict that upon you." Inflict is the perfect word for so many churches and religions.
I wouldn't want to be in the front row??? Or maybe they could put some people in the front row and do a 6 for1 baptism?
