the real deal
when i type coffeehouse, i feel the need to clarify. some may ponder, "is not a coffeehouse just a rip off of starbucks?," or some such. i say to them, "no!" a coffeehouse is much more than anything starbucks could ever hope to sell out on. what's more, a coffeehouse is so much more than what your stereotypical Christian is used to. when it's the real deal, you don't have screaming, obnoxious bands complete with screaming, obnoxious 16-year old girls and nice, candlelit dinners in ornate formal halls.
my friends, here is the essence of the true coffeehouse:
soul.
say it with me.
soul.
again.
soul.
just like barry white.
ssssssoooooouuuuuullllll.
gone from that dim little room are the panderings of capitalist Christianity trying to make a buck off of Jesus. gone is the oppression of decor nazis addicted to having a perfectly ordered dining hall. it's just you, the soul, and whatever you got to bring, be it song or dance or spoken word, art or poem or thought. in that moment- your moment- you become a social prophet of sorts, just telling it like it is.
