My Most Non-Cynical Blog Post Ever

I really believe that the vast majority of people at church are good people who want to help others.

I don't think the "church smile" is always phony. Being someone guilty of having a "church smile," I think it is a result of being someplace where everybody knows your name, and feeling good about being there. Really.

I was going to write two posts, the first being "My Most Cynical Blog Post Ever," and following it with a post like this tomorrow. But I think most of the posts on this blog for the past year or more have smacked of cynicism.

I don't know what happened or who "corrupted" me, but it turns out I am more interested in theology than I knew. I was at a church recently where I met with an elder and started asking some theology questions. After a while I realized that I sounded like that annoying guy in the new membership class at church. I detected a bit of an "oh boy, here we go," look in the elder's eyes.
