Do you have any idea how old a lot of those “ornate” churches are?

I think my posts were pretty clear.

You should see Houston’s First Baptist or Second Baptist. They are both rather large. Neither are so large as the House of Joel. First Methodist has a multi-campus spread.

Have you been reading the posts? I don't believe I singled any one church out. Why the assumption?

Who are these people worshipping?

That is a great question. I've read posts from other FReepers trying to equate the ornateness of a church with the quality of worship. I think this is a rather odd position.

Are these huge ornate churches really being built for God? If so why do they have to be so big and fancy?

This was your statement.
