Has it Come to This?

I heard the saddest thing this morning that I think I've heard for a while. The guy at church was talking about what a pleasant time of year this can be and he said, "Not to sound too pagan, but I really love the flowers and the green leaves..." He went on to talk briefly about new life in the spring and resurrection. Now this guy was a visitor and therefore didn't realize that that kind of stuff is okay with our people, but he's not just paranoid. There are plenty of churchy people who would consider a statement like that inappropriate, even pagan. These are the same people who think that easter eggs are of the devil. Makes me want to show 'em my May Pole.
