I've never been inside a megachurch but they scare the living crap out of me.

OMG ME TOO! Well, except for huge old Catholic churches. I adore the musty, incensy smell of very old cathedrals. And standing in jeweled sunlight coming from stained glass windows is like being in Merlin's crystal cave. Not to mention Catholics don't make you feel like they're going to jump out of the shadows and knock you down screaming, "BELIEVE!" at the top of their lungs.
Other than that being in ANY church, big or small scares the crap outta me.
My youngest daughter (thanks to her dad) just graduated from HS from a private Baptist school. On the way to the graduation ceremony, which all of my side of the family and friends attended, my current husband joked, "Hmm, eight pagans and a gay black man in a Baptist church. Sounds like the makings of a Jerry Springer show!". I replied, "That or a Ray Stevens song."

Dammit, now I'm gonna have Gitarzan stuck in my head.

Big industrial-carpeted amphitheater megachurches look so awful when they show them on TV (Hour of Power and like that). And that one church in L.A. just gives me the willies--Crystal Cathedral?

I think the scariest church of all has to be the Precious Moments place, even though it's not technically a church. Ugh, I hate those damn mongoloid looking things.

Oh my god that is so incredibly awesome.
