Tweeting From Church

I am perusing twitter for various topics. Checking out what people are tweeting. Oh, look, they're tweeting from Church.

Now, I'm not a fan of Church and I don't go with the exception of Christmas and Easter (yes, I'm a "C&E"). But on those days, or when I go, I know that my ass would be tanned if anyone were to see me tweeting from a pew (which is ironic considering it's supposed to be turn the other cheek-- does this include the lower two?).

I saw that "Church" was one of the most popular tweets this morning. Not surprising considering it's 11 AM on a Sunday but people are literally tweeting from their services. 
It's hilarious, some of the stuff they are witnessing and posting. It's like all the internal thoughts that Church-goers would deem rude or un-Christian are all ending up on twitter as external remarks. LMAO.

Here are some actual examples (be careful what you tweet, it's fair game, lol.):

@ms_b_osazuwa Attempting to leave for church....females are extra slow!!...

@mattybeeeee i had the worst morning ever. couldn't go to churchbecause there were no freaking parking spots. and people neeed to learn how to drive!!!!

@DrSteveAllen I slept in this morning. I had to shave in the churchbathroom using Softsoap as shaving cream. Not my best moment.

@jgurnow skipping church to play golf. had to rent a car for trip, cause AC needs fixed on Van. Going out to charge it now. ya. dont eat weeds.

@Llieno I'm going to church this morning to pray that, one day, Joe Thurston will notice there is a left side of the diamond when he is batting?

@AutumnC3 @miked7 was checking those twitters during church....


@JakeSchweich Off to church, and then to the gun range to spend my gift from my brother

@Rockstar_Barbie Slight hangover but dtill on my way to church! ;) Dont judge me! At least I'm going to church

We can all tweet if we like from Church, I don't care, really. I know my family would flip, but I also think cell phones at the table and answering the phone when someone's talking to you in a car are rude. I guess I'm biased.

These thought are all out there for everyone to see! 
I think they're funny. 
I feel empathy for someone who can't find a parking spot or skips church for a sport, but I don't think that's the message that your preachers are trying to get across. 
Maybe you should walk a few extra yards or car pool? Maybe you should think before tweeting internal thoughts against your fellow parishioners? I don't know. I mean, obviously I lose accreditation initially by avoiding places of worship, but I do know about the internet and thinking twice before posting.
