[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the upper Midwest (medium sized town in WI) that for decades was always the land of the Catholics and the Lutherans. There were a handful of SBC, Apostolic, etc. churches but they tended to be small, kind of insular affairs that really weren't "pervasive" or anything. But in the past 15-20 years there has been a surge of these evangelical megachurches. And they are siphoning off a TON of Catholics and Lutherans. To the unsuspecting eye they look sooo welcoming - upbeat music, sermons that are easy to understand, bright lights, high energy children's programs (as opposed to the boring read-a-textbook-in-a-smelly-Catholic-school-cafeteria style CCD I went through), sprawling campuses, coffee shops, ~hip~ young pastors...but the amount of white nationalism, homophobia, and anti-intellectualism that hides under the shadows of these "cool" churches is actually such a terrifying phenomenon. This brand of Christianity is like the opposite everything Christianity is about. [/quote]
I haven’t seen any real evidence of this, but this is precisely how it seems to me. Those mega church parishioners kind of ooze white supremacist, women-hating and anti-intellectualism under the blanket of the Bible. [/quote]
