- mbg721 6y agoTraditionally, they say that because even when their outward trappings are all over popular culture, they know that their core message is difficult to live out in practice, and most of the people who show up aren't doing it.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoBefore about 300 AD, they weren't the cornerstone of culture. In much of the world, they never were.
- FooBarBizBazz 6y agoI think AnimalMuppet is talking about more evangelical churches, whereas you are talking more about what used to be called "mainline" churches.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI think that's right.
