What if This Happened on a Sunday Morning???

A taste into my mind: I love analyzing this kind of stuff. It is a good representation on how church really can come off to someone who has never been there before. Why is this humorous? Because it is contrary to the cultural mores in a church service. Later in the episode we find the preacher really enjoyed this, but interestingly enough Bree (the woman reacting sitting down) is always the one to want to live up to and exceed at what social expectations should be. So what is that saying about the culture of heading into a church building if one has never been there? Lynette (the blonde standing up asking questions) doesnt come back because it wasnt perceived of as acceptable to ask these kinds of questions in public. Its more okay for her to ask this in the private conversation with her friend Bre later in the episode. I think it pin points the way a lot of people tend to perceive church if they have never been there: a place not to ask questions publically, but keep them silently to yourself. It is also humourous for people who go to church because it goes against the culture in which the church operates. Interesting to observe...
