		<description>TeaCast,

Thanks for your comment. That might be &quot;enough said&quot; for an emotional response, but there is a lot more to it than that. If you are a student of the New Testament, you would realize that every &quot;church&quot; mentioned there met in someone&#039;s home. What we know as modern day &quot;church&quot; did not exist in the first century. It is largely a cultural construct we have invented. So, perhaps after we allow our minds to understand this, our emotional reaction to modern day &quot;church&quot; would become more &quot;creepy.&quot;  :-)</description>
