Check-cashing joints have always struck me as sad places. This shot captures something of that feeling for me. Really like this photo, Joe. Check-cashing joints have always struck me as sad places.

And, I believe it describes much of North American Christianity. I am inclined to think a false god which weakly mimics Christianity is worshiped, thus idolatry. And if God is worshiped then certainly falsely. My comment meant that I, personally, read such a quote and feel an ominous cloud of judgment pending and judgment present upon upon us; the sense of God having given us over in our idolatry. So, the only problem I have with the quote is that it too closely describes our present malady. Thank you for posting a very timely quote. Joe,
