Last week I was going to write a rant about how much I dislike the word “unchurched.” It’s one of those insider words that church people use, and one I think is out-of-date, overused and offensive. I sat down with someone wiser and more thoughtful than me, who suggested that not everyone is offended by the word “unchurched,” and that some people really couldn’t care less if you called them “unchurched.” Fine. Scratch the unchurched rant.
My next thought was to write a rant about rants. Merriam-Webster defines rant as “to talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner or to scold vehemently.” One of the definitions in the Urban Dictionary for rant “to extensively talk about a given topic longer than needed whether anyone cares or not.” And there it is. Most people couldn’t care less about your long winded rant. So unless you have the skill of Rick Mercer and a cool graffiti alley, why waste your time? Great. Scratch the rant rant.
That’s all I got.
You’re welcome.
