Mega Church (1)

Mark Murford, a journalist at the San Francisco Chronicle and no friend of Christianity, described mega-churches:
... the bizarre parallel universe of conservative Christian megachurches, those giant ultra-bland stadium sized fluorescent nightmare warehouses that are still flourishing, more or less, simply because many of them are now dramatically diluting the fire-and-brimstone religion stuff, muting all that thorny theology and eschatology and even the right-wing intolerance ... and replacing it with something resembling, well, a giant cheesy self-help seminar.
With skits. And dance numbers. And a food court. And day care. And an iPod lounge. Self-esteem building exercises. “How to be a winner”. “God has a plan for you”. Only $29.95. Every week. Forever.
