2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

fundie or pentie?[edit]

I always thought megachurches leaned towards non-denominational so as to appeal to the widest base possible, hence the linking to Cafeteria Xtianity. — Sincerely, Neveruse513 (Dictated But Not Read) / Talk / Block 20:11, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

They are mostly nondenominational, Pentecostal, or Baptist, as no church that possesses serious brass (viz., anything other than a congregationalist polity) allows such a travesty as a megachurch, and the old-line Congregational denomination is far too lib-burr-rul for such a thing these days.

Knowing these churches are greedy as a fuck[edit]

Did they forget greed was a sin?--Rationalzombie94 (talk) 22:22, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Do you have to pay to enter into one of these things?[edit]

I known they're not the same as historical cathedrals, where you must often pay a fee to visit them even if you just want to see the nave (you can sneak before mass, however, and/or some open for free a small part in a sort of milk before meat), but as much as I doubt it are you forced to pay to enter there? --Panzerfaust (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
