Florida Megachurch Dumps Pepsi Over its Positions on Gay Issues
The Bell Shoals Baptist megachurch in Brandon, Florida is making headlines for carting 10 Pepsi machines out of its premises and replacing them with machines from Coca-Cola, because, they say, Pepsi donated to Prop 8, sponsors Gay Pride parades, and runs ads that cater to homosexuals.
Your church had ten soft drink vending machines in it? Wow. What else you got in there… A Chick Fil A? A swimming pool? Oh…I see you have an online Store! Very nice…
Oh look at all the microphone stands that came to church on Sunday.
Church is such a…different experience from when I was a little Baptist boy…
Very different. So…is that really a church or is it a sports arena? Do you have hockey games Sunday nights? Is Coca-Cola served?
[Update…] Dan Savage shares my astonishment at the lovely modern amenities now available to customers of today’s modern luxury MegaChurches…

Judging by those pics, they have a choir bigger than most British churches. My Quaker meeting is considered average in size, and typically has 20-30 people on a Sunday morning. You could fit our entire meeting-house in there about a dozen times!
