This statement sounds as ludicrous as anti-gunners

Because a few evil people have done bad things with guns it is the guns fault.

Because a few evil people have gone to Charismatic/Pentacostal churches now they are evil.

Following that logic every denomination is evil.

Obviously someone is letting their particular denomination's doctrinal views lead them to assumptions. Also the reason why I refer to myself as a follower of Christ not some denomination.
The Catholics have a problem with priest homosexual pedophiles. I blame the individuals not all Catholics. However there are plenty of people on FR that have spewed their denominational Hatred on all Catholics because of it. You sound just like them.

How about we blame the Murderer for the Murder. The Rapist for Rape. Leave God-fearing Law-abiding people out of it.

She'll pay the penalty for sure.

But this is not an evil woman; this is a nutty woman who happened to belong to a church that discouraged her use of antidepressants. I'll wager, as time goes on, we find out that this woman was, in fact, severely depressed and could have benefitted from treatment.

Like Christian Science, a denomination that refuses to recognize modern medicine (and thus ridicules the intellect of human beings) is a scandal to God Himself.
