No one has really talked much about how church has persuaded us... Have you ever stopped and looked at all the different denominations that we have in Christianity? Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Non-Denominational, and Protestant (those are all of the ones I can think of). What makes people choose a denomination over the other one? Does it have to do with your specific beliefs? I have heard statistics show that all of these different denominations have over 80% in common with each other. If it is not about specific beliefs, does persuasion have something to do with it? Have you ever walked into a church before and after the first service realize that this place feels like "home". Are churches really trying to persuade you to join their congregation or are they doing it for a higher reason.

So lets assume that you find a church that you like based on your own beliefs. Lets say for example--a Lutheran Church. What makes you like a Lutheran Church over another one? I think one of a churches goals is to make a person feel at "home" and feel connected to the people and the atmosphere.
