Sort of like the fact that people have taken to use the expression "MSM" - when there's nothing "mainstream" about the Corporate Media's agenda of greed and domination.

10. naw..I prefer "New Pharisees".
--obsession with enforcing laws on others, without following them themselves.
--constantly trying to appear pious in public without being concerned about others
--more concerned about power and hierarchy than justice and mercy
--turning the temple into a den of theives...

Its the only term you could use against them that MIGHT actually make them pause and consider their position. Not that there's any guarantee of that.

"corporate christians" will only seem complimentary to them...even though I think its a good term, I'm more interested in hipping them to the fact they have strayed....horribly...from God's intent.
