"My kid can do no wrong, and I'll deny the Bible if I have to!"
To be fair, as time passed they also had an increasingly apostate parade of pastors from the seminaries. As of 2024, they can fit the entire attendance of a normal Sunday service in a school bus and still have room for a couple of obese drag queens... and are as self-righteous and smug in their "tolerance" as they can be.
Sadly, that describes a lot of Evangelical churches when I was growing up. Vacation Bible School has become “big business” with massive layouts, bounce houses and rides, and other attractions. Instead of it being for children of members, churches advertise to try to attract non-members. Some churches even CHARGE for it.
The United Methodist Church where we now live was the largest church. It just split because 40% didn’t want the promotion of homosexuality. The spin off is doing great.
