I mean you see all these different churches on TV that have all windows and such and have thousands of people in them. And you see all these people that get waay too into too...i mean yeah some people do but not everyone....
and these specials for preachers and such....
If someone went to my church that goes to these kinds of churches they might be in total shock that some people do go to "small churches"

not to be hatin but most of the HUGE churches and stuff like turn themselves into malls basically. theres one that has a restaurant and a gift shop in it. most of it is just for the money in my eyes and God isn't at work there very much. its a big fake society

Religion is big business today they take in millions of dollars so they can build up mass fortunes to go on tv and spread their own interpreted Gospel, they spend millions on churches and cathedrals preaching how important it is that you continue to support them by emptying your pockets and your savings, as long as the hopeless and hopeful continue to support their religious schemes religions will prosper, vary little money gose towards helping the poor and down and out, they use those people to pull at your heart strings so you will give more, religions have become malignant with greed for wealth and power, I for one will never support a religion that only looks for financial gains.

well im a big advocate of tearing down churches and building things society needs. like parks, schools and libraries.
churches are a waste of space. regardless of how commercialized theyre getting.
tear them down, build something good.
im sure you people can rent a level on some office tower and set up a new official brainwashing center there.

It's not just you. Go back and re-read what Jesus had to say about all this public praying and "look how religious I am" behavior.
