The Jesus Light church?

I was driving home yesterday and saw yet another oddity. Well, at first glance the definition that came to my head in explanation of a phrase I read on a sign somewhere on Lake Otis seemed an oddity to me. Anyone who knows me knows that I am, to put it mildly, not exactly a very spiritual guy, But for those that are of religious or spiritual persuasion I'm not so sure that a "Jesus Light" church really fits the bill too well.

Or maybe it does.

Wanna lose weight? get some 'Light tuna casserole' or something. Light foods mean there's 50% less fat calories or something. I guess maybe the Jesus Light church, being a religious facility has possibly taken the initiative and "Trimmed the fat" out of the Bible. Gotten rid of a lot of the contradictions, loosened some of the more stringent rules and such, maybe even trimmed away the part that, to them, makes them a better person than the rest of us by getting rid of the self righteous leanings in their own teachings and sermons.
Yeah, maybe they are providing a needed service to the community. For those that think religion is just way to "Heavy" and would go to Sunday meetings and such if there was just someplace that would lighten up a bit. You know?
Have a beer,
Get a little envious of "Bobs" new boat,
Enjoy looking at his New wife with a little less than an honorable synapse.
Finally steal that stupid pink flamingo out of his yard that your dog just has to keep running to and pissing on.

Now there is a choice.

Now we have "The Jesus Light Church".
