Since "the customer is always right," such a church waters down its message so as not to scare off its attendees (or, more often than not, their [[tithe]]s and offerings).  If [[sin]] is ever discussed, it is generally discussed in a generic sense, but so watered down as to not really upset any specific person or group within the church, or with regard only to [[hypocrisy|someone else's sins]].
