Church Volunteer Outraged by Having to Show Up

Lazy Volunteer too Good for Kids


A local church volunteer, who signed up for the children's ministry, expressed his frustration and anger at being expected to actually show up for his duties.

"I thought it was just a nice way to pad my resume and get some brownie points with God," said the volunteer, who wished to remain anonymous. "I didn't realize I had to actually interact with kids and teach them stuff. That's not what I signed up for."

The volunteer said he was shocked when he received an email from the children's ministry coordinator, reminding him of his upcoming shift and asking him to prepare a lesson plan.

"I was like, 'What? A lesson plan? I don't have time for that. I have a busy life. I have Netflix shows to watch, video games to play, and memes to share. I can't be bothered with preparing a lesson plan for some snotty-nosed brats.'"

The volunteer said he ignored the email and hoped that the coordinator would forget about him. However, he was unpleasantly surprised when he received a phone call from the coordinator, asking him why he didn't show up for his shift.

"I told him I was sick, but he didn't buy it. He said he saw me posting on Facebook about how much I enjoyed the latest episode of Squid Game. He said he was very disappointed in me and that I had let down the kids and the church. He said I had to either show up for my next shift or quit the ministry."

The volunteer said he felt offended and insulted by the coordinator's words.

"He had no right to talk to me like that. He should be grateful that I even volunteered in the first place. I'm doing him a favor, not the other way around. He should be more flexible and understanding of my situation. I have a lot of things going on in my life. I can't be expected to show up for some silly ministry that doesn't even pay me."

The volunteer said he is considering quitting the ministry and finding another way to serve the church.

"Maybe I'll join the choir or the usher team. They seem to have more fun and less work. Or maybe I'll just donate some money and call it a day. That's easier than having to show up and deal with kids. Kids are annoying. They ask too many questions and they never listen. They're not worth my time and energy."

The volunteer said he hopes that the church will appreciate his contributions and not judge him for his choices.

"I'm still a good Christian. I still love God and go to church. I just don't want to do anything that requires me to show up and be responsible. Is that too much to ask?"

Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu...
