I guess you're talking about baseless stereotypes.

Seriously, politics do not belong in this thread.

If you're in the Richmond area and looking for a church, I recommend Hyles Baptist Church.

HYLES BAPTIST CHURCH

Preacher Ron shared a story with us about one of his street preaching missions downtown. He was approached by a crazy bum that he thought might do him or the candy-man harm. The Lord was with him that day because he had his favorite pistol on him. If the bum hadn't backed off he would've, "shot him in the knee for Jesus".

Now I'm not a Christian, but if I was, this would be my kind of preacherman. For those of you see things, differently, this is your kind of church.

preachers that gloat on things like this and try to turn them into comedy aren't really my type

Nope. All religion. The practice of knowing the unknowable and using it to exert control over the masses has not been monopolized by any one faction. I can find good in most faiths, but I can find a hell of a lot more bad in the practiced religions and their leaders.
