Hmmm, sure seems like some groups are trying to make up for something lacking.

No, it doesn't. However, we are not here to judge the actions of churches too harshly. Sometimes, it may be that church's way of attracting more people to attend. A big church can offer many programs and services to their members than a smaller church can. I, myself, like to see a big church utilize every asset that they have. But I also get very turned off by a church if they are too "showy".

In some cases, I think it makes it less true. If the religion is teaching simplicity, piousness, and unattachment to material wealth, what is the purpose of a big, ornate, ostentatious building?

In this case, size really does not matter, it's the people that make the church, not the building.

Their is more of any God you wish to name, in a single drop of morning dew, than there is in the greatest edifice ever built by human efforts.

My God does not dwell in temples made by the hands of men.

If it did we would all still be following Anubis.
