You have to see this church with your own eyes to believe it. It has an aquarium and four different restaurant facilities on-site, plus a catering service. The name of the street intersection on the main entrance is simply, "Calvary Chapel." As you turn in, the foliage and rocks are decorated like something you see at Disney World, and it spells out the name of the church in huge letters.

I understand that the donations support the church. My mother lived off of the donations, and ran day care and bible school with it.

But that's a hundred million dollars.

It seems to me that the church could be built for a fifth of that, and the other eighty million dollars could feed some people after a disaster, teach people to read, support a mission, put something in someone's life that was not there before and pray for them whatever their god.
