if you're looking for Jesus, check the gutter

In the great town of Springfield (city motto: it's close to Branson, and nothing else) is a bowling alley.

The sign on Lighthouse Lanes proudly proclaims: "Where Christians come to play." This makes more sense when you consider in Springfield, "Christians" means "Southern Baptists." So I assume the alley doesn't serve alcohol. I wonder if they have sermons on the side.

And I found its web address. Interestingly, online the alley makes no mention of its motto that's so promenient at the actual site. Instead, the website simply promotes "family-friendly" bowling. Did they feel they would lose business if they touted themselves as a Christian bowling alley on the web? I think they compromised their principles in the wild west of the web.
