MALL OF CHRISTIANITY

I had a waking dream about the "Mall of Christianity"?!  You know, a shopping center you can walk around in, whether you buy anything, or not.  So, I went into the maze and stumbled around in wonder and confusion!

There were five or six Anchor Stores.  They were the biggest and main part of the mall.
1. Catholics. Oldest franchise in the mall, and proud of it!  Baroque atmosphere, pomp, aristocratic, bluebloods  But, why were they playing "Mother, may I?". Not a lot about Jesus?!   There seemed to be a lot of Mexicans there too?!  I would have expected to see more Italians and Irish.  I guess they were at a different mall.  It is an interesting place.
2. Calvinists. Weird place.  Terminator-Borg-AI atmosphere?! Robots checking to see if they were model E or D?!  Cold as hell in there.  Staff really unfriendly about answering any questions.  A lot about the sovereignty of God, but little about the loving Savior?!  It was kind of stuffy in there?!
3. Charismaniacs.  They had several sections in the store, but they were a lot alike.  House of distorted mirrors with smoke blowing, and with the Joker and the Medusa pastoral couple running around?!  A lot of lip about tongues, and the "Holy Ghost" -- but little about the Head, Jesus the Son of God.  I walked around in there for a while, but left shaking my head.
4. Community-Churches-R-Us.  Loud. Flashy. Avant-garde.  Songs that were "7-11" and little depth.  There were a lot of sheep, but many had been stolen?!  A lot of shoppers in there.

(They all had guards to keep out the others, or maybe to keep in their own?!)

5. Orthodoxs. Not sure about them. Never went in. Foot doctors?! Orthopaedic surgeons?!  Just kidding.  They seemed a lot like the first place I went through?!
6. Copts. Old franchise, but another place not well known to me. Maybe they are "Hellycopts"?! Ha!  I peeked in the door, but walked on by.

Many small shops selling their speciality.  The smaller stores can be quite personal, but often peculiar.
1. Seventh-dayers.
2. KJV-ONLYers
3. End-of-worlders
4. Vegans
5. Essential-oilers
6. ...

Shoppers seemed bewildered.  Some were there just to visit, or exercise. 

Down on one end was an interesting group.  The Salvation Army was feeding homeless folks and running a thrift store?!

Nearly empty parking lot.  Most stores empty.  Food court was busy though!

I got a coffee and sat at the edge of the food court, just watching desperate derelicts walk into the Salvation Army Store looking for a sandwich, I guess.
