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."

Don't ever drive the freeway between Hot Springs and Little Rock in Arkansas, then -- there's more megachurchs than fucking strip malls in that state.

I have, and you're right to be afraid.
