What's Going on With Banks and Churches
Posted by: Matthew Van Hoose on June 17, 2008 at 11:49PM EST

Is it just me or are church and bank names getting more aggressive? The first church was opened in 1638 and was simply called The First Baptist Church of Providence. This was probably the only church that should have the word "first" in the title.  After this church there should have been a few "second", "third", and "fourth" churches of something.   But now when you drive around they all have these weird names like "The First Church of God" or "The High Trinity of Belief Church".  Pretty soon there will be a "First Holy Jesus Mary Trinity of If You Don't Go To This Church You Really Don't Believe Church of God".  They would have some commercial on tv threatening you to go to this church or you're going to Hell.  

 "You'll pray to get in…..you'll pay to get out.  BE THERE….SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!!"

And banks aren't much different.  Last week I was lost in Nashville and I saw one bank I'm still trying to figure out.  What is a "Fifth Third Bank"?  Couldn't they just take the average and be the fourth bank?  And then, by reading the bank signs, I found out that apparently there are different levels of trust.  There's the Tennessee Trust, Middle Tennessee Trust, Wilson County Trust…and then the one that I would think tops them all "Prime Trust".  If you can get prime trust…why the hell would you choose a bank with less trust?  I want my bank to trust me to death.  Trust me to the level it would kill me…and back it off jut a little bit.  With all this trust going around, how do these banks make any money?  I think the only honest bank name would be "The First Bank of Just Keep Your Money in Your Sock Because That Is The Only Way It Is Truly Safe….......and Trust"
