Do you think it is good or bad?<br /><br />While I am neither religious nor spiritual, I do think that religion has an important role in the lives of humanity as a whole regardless of if it is for the good or the bad of humanity.<br /><br />In my own personal view, I can see how these new mega churches are both good and bad... They are good because it can enhance a sense of community, especially for those who are group-oriented or want to be group-oriented. It may be bad for those who prefer smaller gatherings, but that is neither here nor there... I can imagine it would be bad for those who think that the only true way to be religious in it's entirety is to do it on your own. I believe these individuals may be going for altruism in the purest form that can be attained by an individual. I can also see how it might be bad in that some people may only attend to "keep up appearances." What better way to say "I love Jesus" than by attending a mega church?<br /><br />I believe it is neither good nor bad overall, but somewhere in the middle when taking everything into consideration. Again, I pose the question to you: Do you think the advent of mega churches will bring about a positive or negative change in the religious community?Alicia Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262006289670424080noreply@blogger.com
