Good riddance to you and your ilk.

This alone is enough to put a smile on my face. No, that's more of a smirk. Yes, definitely a smirk.

Not getting paid enough for his works is not a reason to quit his ministry. It seems that he needs some humbling.

Most of those megachurches were built to be more like concert venues than places to worship, IMO, the religious trappings a minor and very temporary part of the overall decor.

It would be lovely to see them turned into something useful like home bases for symphonies and theater or dance companies. They're really not bad venues for any of it.

I just wish we could get them off the airwaves, also, especially the hard core haters that seem to proliferate on local TV.
