One of the churches I attended as a boy had a large mirror on the ceiling above where the pastor would preach and sermonize the congregation. I thought the reflection was God watching and giving instructions to the pastor, it really put the fear of God in me because he had one of those "fire and brimstone" styles of preaching. To this day I hate the "fire and brimstone" style of preaching and if I hear it on the radio or the TV I immediately turn it off.
