> [@monstro](#): > > Do these people not own radios or TVs? A computer? At any given moment, a person in need of a good ole churching-up can find what they’re looking for by turning a dial, clicking the clicker, or hitting a button. There are also such things as prayer hotlines. Now this, OTOH, is bullshit. “Good ole churching-up” isn’t something you can just tune into on the radio, or get by clicking on a website. Church is about being part of a faith _community_, and none of these suggestions have anything to do with that. Church isn’t something you _receive_; it’s something you _participate_ in. > [@](#): > > And of course, if someone is that much of a devoted church member, they should be able to ring up Pastor if they need words of encouragement. That’s what their tithes and offerings help to pay for. Better than nothing, I guess, but a more personalized one-to-many relationship still isn’t a community. Imagine, for instance, that this message board went down, and it was replaced (for paid members, anyway) by personalized messages of encouragement from Cecil Adams. Would you feel that was a meaningful replacement? Me either. But that’s a pretty good equivalent of what you’re suggesting. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/todays-bible-lesson-you-reap-what-you-sow/854112)._
