Take a look at this King of the Hill Episode. Sad to say but so much of this is so true and a statement about folks and "God sending them to another church." Whether it's the music (hymns vs. praise), the pastor's tone or the 100 year old oak they cut down to make room for new parking - people get their shorts in a wad and move churches and then blame it all on God.
I actually have dealt with a few mega churches in the past (planning events). Actually rode in a parking lot tram to the sanctuary! One group I worked with called their pastor the "executive" is hushed tones. This pastor actually had an entourage! Oh well. We Christians (American especially) have a long way to go.

Anonymous - Thanks for your visit to my blog. We are in west central Louisiana and did not receive much of the katrina damage. Rita got us but we had minimal damage. We are praying for a huricane free summer for the whole gulf coast this year.
