I am at a UM church now after escaping a dysfunctional Assembly of God and other evangelical churches... and the marriage to the wacko that wanted a nice trained lapdog to pay her bills.
I kind of like singing some of the old timey hymms in the choir. Seems a lot more reverent than electric guitars, the 300 lb single daughter of the senior pastor leading worship, and commands from the pulpit about who to vote for.

I'll never forget the day I learned that a portion of my donations to my UM church went to abortion lobbyists.

Who knew that the leaders of the general conference thought that people donate to church to make it harder to save babies from partial birth abortion (what was going on at the time I learned about it)? Literally thousands of babies per year are having their arms and legs held still by an "assistant" to keep the "clump of cells" from interfering with the "doctor" while the "doctor" inserts a sharp pointed suction tube into the "clump of cells" skull and literally sucks the brains out, all while claiming "it" didn't feel any pain. I didn't know that was going on until Bush pushed to ban partial birth abortion. I hoped I could join the fight. Turns out I was helping in the fight --- helping the side of hedonists -- with my donations to my church. It turns out my UM donations were in virtually every abortion battle you can think of for decades, from whether or not welfare money paid for abortions, to state laws about parent notification, to VA benefits paying for abortions, etc. And that's just abortion, they were doing the same thing lobbying for other forms of hedonism to be forced onto Christians.

But no worries. The music leader at the UM church was within your weight tolerance. I guess that's all that matters. As far as guitars go, I guess it's a good thing you weren't there on the Sundays it was my turn to lead children's church. LOL There is nothing God does that's halfway. He's all in. Thus, the music about Him shouldn't express Him in moderation. LOL

to be forced onto Christians

You were forced to get an abortion? Honey, that just isn't right...

Always fun to have these discussions with folks that are certain grace is something that is only God's business and not for them, but judgment and vengeance!?!?! Oh yeah, those things are certainly not over our sanctified pay grade! Be blessed brother.
