"Pick a church, any church" campaign [View All]

[nickinSTL]

In my area, there is a group of Christian leaders pushing the "Pick a Church, any Church" campaign.

Every church in the area has a sign, and many homes have a sign in their yards.

While I do like that they're not pushing one particular denomination, as a non-Christian, I find it a bit offensive, as my answer is NO. I will NOT pick a church, and I kind of resent being told to.

Maybe I'm being a bit over-sensitive, but I still don't like it.

For a news story on the campaign: http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/church-37036-churches-wood.html

Something else I read said that the city mayor has made phone calls "inviting people" to attend church. THAT really angers me, as that seems like a government endorsement of Christianity.

Any thoughts? Am I being overly sensitive here?
