Evangelical churches are as much entertainment if not more than as religious message and teaching. Take away the emotional praise music and pagentry and they would leave in droves.

“Take away the emotional praise music and pagentry and they would leave in droves.”

And you know this how? If you were personally acquainted with the tens of millions, then maybe you could judge just a little, but you must be pretty good to be able to know this without knowing hardly any of them.

I haven’t seen that, but as our most Christian and conservative voting members of America we sure need the Evangelicals.

I belong to an evangelical Christian church who has none of those and is growing like crazy. Love how you atheists are always explaining to Christians what God thinks.

And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was  wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord.

I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.” Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death. 2 Samuel 6:14-23
