5. Reminds me of a blog-post where a pastor attacked and defended Mega-Churches at the same time.

It was some blog of a pastor in the US and I think I found the link via DU or so.

She mentioned in this blog-post how she once went to a Mega-Church and was disgusted by that money-worshipping and made a scene there as a sign of protest.
And in the second half of this very same post she implored her readers to still accept Mega-Churches as christian and to not come up with religious arguments why they are bad.

Her post can be summarized as: "Mega-Churches are a perversion of Christianity, but you shouldn't try to stop them because they say that they are christian and you should accept that."
