   I’m real concerned about number 30.

   As expected they’re all in the south.

   I wonder if CBC is disappointed to not be on the list?

   My hunch is that because CBC is not on this list, they dismiss the list as invalid, for whatever reasons they have conjured. Were they on this list, however, they would likely tout it as a highly credible document.

   Am I right or am I right?

   Wow, that’s an incredibly diverse list! I counted 4 black pastors, no latino, and no women. Seriously? 92% of the most influential churches are run by white males?

   Peter, one woman, actually. Sad, but not shocking, as are the other demographics.

   I don’t know what you are bothered about.

   After all Jesus was a white male.

   How dare you RP?

   I didn’t raise you to talk like this!

   P.S. #12 is kinda hot.

    Actually, at this moment, and as far as you are concerned, I’m clear. But back in the day, I had a healthy tan.

    If you must know, I look more like Robert Powell than James Caviezel. That Franco Zeffirelli did such a nice job with the whole project. Mel Gibson is a real hack.

    Megachurches patting other megachurches on the back.

    The number 1 reason CBC didn’t make the list: “…they do not view themselves better than other churches” on page 2 of the pdf, second column. They were disqualified even before the list started.

    Sorry about that. Good catch FFTM. Apparently they tossed Paula a bone since it seems her church can’t even afford walls! But the largest outrage is that they completely snubbed Oregon! Wake up and smell the coffee from the little coffeeshop on the third floor of the mall attached to the church, people!!! This is an obvious backlash due to this blog and should be seen as a slight to everyone who frequents this site. I call for an embargo on all the churches on this list (except the ones from NYC, since New York rocks).
