Not every large church is bad.

And I would agree with that. 2 out of the few hundred mega churches in this country actually act like a chistian churches. The remaining ones are not for profit corporations with plus signs on the front of the coporate palace.

But, I would go around making blanket assumptions about all large

If a pastor of a church is preaching the Gospel, accountability in one's walk, becoming free from the bondage of sin and living a Holy life, they will not be popular enough to get big.

Churches only become mega churches by preaching little c Christ and never suggesting that the church is itself is filled with sinners that need to repent, fall on their knees before the Cross, and beg for God's grace through Jesus.

That would be "too churchy and icky" for most people to sit through these days. It also mught sound too judgemental for the "seeker".

Nothing but ear tickling pop psychology. Just like Paul and Peter commented on 1,950 years ago.

From my perspective, that perspective contains major portions of hogwash and wholesale narrow bias.
