I will try and give you a sincere answer. I grew up in what they would these days call a fundamentalist church. Most sermons were aimed very aggressively at human foilbles, which would seem like a lot of fire and brimstone trying to make people feel sinful to the uninitiated. To this day, I appreciated this church's attempt to alert people to their failings. That's part of a church's duty, as I see it.
Now, I am a converted catholic. I am constantly let down by limp-wristed, white-wash, soft-soap talks that don't even have the strength and commitment to deliver a well-deserved slap on the hand now and then. I sense they don't hit hard and tell people what they don't want to hear because of economic reasons... they can't afford to alienate people. This is wimpy and chiselling, as far as I am concerned.
When I look back to the church I grew up in, I am AMAZED that they told people again and again what they were doing wrong, and people queued back up to hear it Sunday after Sunday. That increases my respect for that church, AND it's people.
Peace

Yes!! I went to church for the first time in, well, a long time, and the preacher was talking about if you get addicted to video games you're serving another lord and betraying god. The whole time I was thinking about how the preacher was full of crap. Anyway, I'm not religious, so mostly I think that all sermons are a bunch of crap, and that it is also a bunch of brainwash.

Pope Urban's 1095 speech exhorting Christians to go kill muslims in the first crusade is a sermon I, speaking as Christian and a human, could have done without.

Yes, of course I have. Those people, standing in those pulpits, preaching and giving opinion...are only human. They sometimes interpret things differently than me!

yes, he was talking about gays and how all the ones he knows are that way because they had bad relationships with their mothers, I say you are born that way, usually.
