Cons
Some people within the system like pat robertson use the reverence that people hold for the church to manipulate gullible people out of money. Or even wose to manipulate people into suppoting ignorant views on political and social issues.
Often very old fashioned in it's morals, doesn't seem to take an itelligent stand on important real life issues like pollution and over population.
Doesn't seem to have much respect for empirical evidence.
I know I missed many things on both sides. Add what you want and discuss.
