I am not denying churches can do good for people. I have worked in food drives with my churchy friends and whatnot because it is a nice thing to do fior those less fortunate.

Churches here in Australia aren't as fundamentalist as in the USA. Could you imagine how many fire and brimstone stories are being spouted like venom over the USA about the current trend of states allowing gay marriage. It upsets me to no end that people can be so hate filled and small minded. Any sort of descrimination is bad, and people should not be descriminated against because others choose to beleive in magical powers, giant floods and guys walking on water.

Most churches, especially assemblies of god, are very business orientated, and are in the business of money making. Commercial churches are solely for money making.
Frineds of mine left their church (and were subsequently made out to be extradited then were ridiculed by their church) to start their own small gatherings because they were sick of the money focus.
