Touche. You got me. I have only attended probably 50 churches in my life (visited, member, went with friend etc.) and I have just been unlucky so far in that every single one I have attended has been imperfect. Dang the luck.

You got one of them perfect ones that I can visit/join? Oh wait, I'd just ruin it anyway. Guess you'll have to keep that perfect one for yourself.

Note, I said imperfect. Not that they were "not the body of Christ." Big diff between a church that is imperfect (i.e. "has problems") and one that "only cares about bringing in members." IMHO.

Wow. So... uh... You have obviously visited a LOT of "Megachurches" to be able to comment on them all in one fell swoop.
Judge not...
Never mind.

Mind you, I'm not saying Mega-churches are terrific. On the contrary, what I'm saying is that all the churches that have humans as members come up well short. I've seen plenty of problems in small churches as well as large churches. That's what happens when you get a bunch of forgiven, frail people together. Kind of like how there's a lot of infection going around at hospitals.

I hear that the churches that don't have humans are generally a LOT better.
