Christian Bookshops Make Me Feel Icky
I feel very icky when looking through Christian Bookshops. Even on the web they feel so tacky. I went to Koorong’s and Word’s online stores. I think Border’s will remain my favorite Christian bookshop. I can browse there without having to see the full covers of the books and not feel like I am in a getto.

That’s actually quite scarey David as I was in a massive Christian Bookshop in Birmingham on Saturday and thinking very similar things myself. There’s so much tripe for sale it’s scarey. Also puts me off writing any books too, as I wonder how anyone will ever locate them in that mountain off crap.
AND christian CDs here in the UK are never less than £15 which is a bloody rip off. I usually buy CDs of a far greater quality for half that.

You know, Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it’s hard to get in the door”

i don’t mind koorong. don’t get me wrong, you have to be careful, there’s a lot of spiritual junk food out there. but it’s exactly that, spiritual junk food. whereas, i think at places like borders, it’s mostly secular junk food. which i think has the potential to be alot more dangerous.
