Churches, pubs...

So, here is my reader question for the day (for the two of you that read this thing). What is the difference between the pub and the church?

I can tell you what the differences are for me.
1) I like going to the pub.
2) I feel like I'm accepted at the pub
3) I feel like I can go to the pub whenever I want and not on a specific day at a specific time for a specific reason. Even if I just want a glass of water and to sit quietly where there are people milling around. I can just sit and watch.
4) I can go to the pub "just as I am", sad, happy, depressed, grumpy.

With that being said, there is a bit that you don't/can't get at the pub. For the most part, I think church people are more willing to help, maybe it's that they are more willing to "go deep" I don't know. Some people are willing to "go deep" no matter what. I'm not really sure, but I gotta tell you, the reasons outlined above, for me, are pretty big.

Hard tellin not know'in.

Thoughts?
