Does it irritate the crap out of anyone else when polling places are in a church? I have to go to Christ the King Lutheran church tomorrow.

You’ll be fine, don’t sweat the small stuff, just bring your nonbelieving badass self to the dam church and vote the deepest richest most luxurious blue this color blind guy ever heard about.

No problem... it's a building and it's for voting that day... and apparently the most available, affordable and appropriate place to setup the voting equipment. If there were a flood, fire, or other disaster and they setup the FEMA or Red Cross relief accomodations there would it be a problem? Blood drive, a problem? If you were otherwise homeless and they offered you a place to eat and sleep... a problem?

Nope. Churches are fascinating despite their use. Well, the old ones are.

I see it as consistent. Most, 80% or so, of the electorate is partisan and sees itself as a member of one of the Left or Right congregations under the umbrella of the Left or Right religions. Faith in the little tin party gods motivates actions of their respective blindly following cattle.

It is uncanny when observed functionally, the number of similarities between religious groups and cults and their political cousins. They all promise big and deliver nothing. Gifts, offerings, etc. of money are always essential to paving the roads to Paradise or Utopia. They both have saintly icons and heroes leading them to the promised land.

Nope, I disagree. Churches are the best places for ballot boxes; in close proximity to the 'poor boxes' supporting not the poor, but sexually sick old men who pastor the flocks or lead the faithful, the comrades, to the boxcars like so many Judas goats.

Bwahahaha! If the voting booth is done directly below the steeple, vote by drone!

I’m not terribly bothered most of the time. I used to be confused by the number of people who mistook me for a priest or preacher. It was later pointed out to me because of my empathic nature. More often I am bothered when strangers approach and I’m not in a mood to counsel them. I listen anyway but I’m blown away that they saw past my mask of indifference.
