What is your opinion on Mega-Churches?

Are they characters in a cartoon where robots turn into machines? I think Randal proved their were an abomination in the eyes of the Lord on Clerks II.

I Live close to three of them..One is the Potters House with Bishop T.D.Jakes.

I really don't care for them myself..as you cannot get personal with the Pastor one on one, not with over 2 to 5 thousand people around, Though in their defense I would say that seeing the many Out reach programs and missions to other country's they have feeding the needy in many famin stricken Country's, that is a good thing..The News media Being Biased and only reporting when one gets into trouble never reports any of the massive programs that they have going..but personally..I don't really like going to them..too hard to park and too crowded

The purpose of religion is not to build beautiful churches and temples, but to cultivate positive human qualities such as tolerance, generosity and love.

I believe they are leeches of society. They drain the money of attendees, they endanger scientific progress, and they claim to be religions of the poor, while the money that has been spent on them and has been given to them that goes to the priest's/pastor's/bishop's/diocese's pockets could be given to a far more worthy cause, like feeding starving children or funding cancer research.

Nothing good. "Religion" as a big business/money making racket. Christ would shut 'em down, pronto. And tell them that he "never knew them" They fleece the flock.

Would they be mega if the true gospel was

being preached?

Too much money flowing in for the amount of good done for the communities in which they "serve". PEACE!

Lots and lots of money spent on a big production that could have been put to a lot better use.

the property value on one could save the lives of a million starving children

Mega-waste-of-time.

I guess the bigger the membership, the bigger the pastor's "earnings".
