LOL---Katie Holmes moves from one cult to another.

I live in a predominantly Southern Baptist city....several of the "mega" churches have over 10,000 members!!! There are a couple of non-deniminational mega churches on this side of town too. My daughter and her family go to one. I went once to hers. First 30 minutes was a gospel rock concert, and the next 30 minutes was the preacher preaching. He had on jeans and a wrinkled plaid shirt. He's a recovering addict.

I've been told I'm a heathen, or not a real Christian, because Catholics drink wine in church (OMG the sin of it!!!!) and we go to confession. Not sure why going to confession makes me an evil person, but that's what I was told...by a woman on her 3rd margarita.  She was an enlightened Presbyterian. 

I look at mega-churches and their preachers as people who in it for the money and not the gospel. Prime example; Joel Osteen. My aunt loves him. I listened to him a couple of times. He speaks for maybe ten minutes and says nothing about God at all. All he does is give a pep talk with an account of something in his life.

Just thought of the irony of the cult of Marx calling the Catholic church a cult.

In no way can the Catholic church be considered a cult. In a cult, the followers do what the leader tells them to do. No one does what the Pope tells them to do, outside of the Vatican. There are a lot of cafeteria Catholics out there.
