Well I've been to a few churches in the last few years and they all had they same exact music and songs and sound to it.
The music in these modern church buildings are very hypnityzing plus they give you free coffee to as well which gets everyone in a hyped up emotional state.
There's something not right about it that didn't settle well with me at all, I won't go into any of those places anymore.
If you read the Christians new testament you will not find anything about the the necessity of a church building or "worship music" or a pastor or any of it. Even tithing throwing your hard earned cash in the plate as it passes while the hypnotic music plays is not in there.
Jesus gave no description of church. He said to Peter that he was the rock on which he would build his church but what did it mean? Why did St. Paul and the Catholic and later protestant denominations get to decide what it is?
I have encountered many dark spirits in church buildings and if you want to follow the peace love and truth of Jesus Christ those are not the places to go. The wolves with sheeo suits are milling around in there baring their fangs ready to drink your life blood Instead

Christianity is not an alternative form of magic. Magic in fact cannot occur in a monotheistic universe as there are not forces or powers that can exceed the powers of the supreme God. There is no other authority to whom you may appeal.

god by his very nature would exceed any form of magic should such a thing exist
(all encompassing all powerful yadayadayada
already assuming this thing exists outside the scope of any known physical laws)
why is it that you make the assumption that magic would exceed the powers of god
what is your definition of magic?
why is it that god has to conform to your ideas of things that do not actually exist?
very telling that you claim magic does not exist while at the same time describing a trait that it would supposedly hold
and youre absolutely positive these are facts and not your simple ego driven desires?
i look forward to your slippery reply
