Usher: Hey Deak, how come people care so much about what other people think?
Deacon: They just do Usher, it’s part of their culture
Usher: Don’t they know that nobody gives a damn? That everyone simply looks out for themselves – that selfishness cannot be avoided?
Deacon: Not really part of their thinking Usher – they go to church dressed in their “Sunday best” to be seen, chat with people with pretense and pompousness – for acceptance that has no value
Usher: Don’t they get GRACE?
Deacon: Church doesn’t let ‘em Usher – church is about prim, proper, perfect, pretty – kind of like gum Usher, kind of like gum
Usher: What are you talking about?
Deacon: Churchgoers are like gum, wrapped in noisy paper, pretty to look at, emits pretty scents and piques the scenses, but only for a few minutes – then as soon as the pretty fades, they become discardable, nothing anyone wants to have anything to do with (especially the pastors) – they leave to do it all over again next week
