Never so many radical/ brainwashed people when it comes to " The Words of Christ" then those from the far south.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

There are a couple of rather whacky ones in Atlanta too.
It requires discernment whenever you are listening to man; especially when they purport to be speaking on God's behalf. Some are, many are not.

Most of the ones I've been around end up pretty cult-y . Preacher has a following of women folk . Lotta pageantry and show boating. At least with most of the small black churches. And I guess up with a dad what was in the church inner workings so I got to see and hear a lot more then what most do. Preachers getting extra money for their massive houses Older women bullying the younger ones our because they don't want to loose there chance with any off the men. Parents beating their kids because they couldn't say a Easter speech or whatever as good as the other kids. Renovations that should only cost XYZ costing 3x and no one can show receipts. List goes on

By radical,do you mean people who actually believe the Bible or something else?

I guess it depends what makes a good church.
I would guess you may think that because they have big churches with large media offerings. great music.
I figure it has a lot to do with the density of churches , for every nice big church with a media presence 25 small churches without a media presence or talented praise band. they are not bad just small there are 9 tiny churches in a strip mall or renting Sunday space and 5 of them have some silver tonged crook at the pulpit.
so because there are just a lot more , there are more good and bad
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I get the feeling from the church I go that we are a "come as you are church". I can't ever remember seeing anyone wearing a suit and tie. Not a hotel for saints, but a hospital for sinners.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

I was thinking along these same lines. I'll pose it as a question though. What makes a church good?

Probably a cultural thing we are going through these last decades. We don't want or care about spiritual growth unless we are entertained in the process. We all take different side roads on our spiritual growth journey.
Bryce exactly...many dont understand this.
