Now that Easter is here and people have seen that they don't need to gather in large crowds to pray, is this the end for mega-churches?

I, for one, miss going to church. Yes, I can get up and watch it on YouTube, but it isn’t the same. There is a camaraderie and togetherness that is missing when I am in my own home alone. I pray alone every day anyway, but enjoy sharing with others.

No I don’t feel it’s the end of churches. People miss their church families and I for one want to get back together when it’s safe to do so.

Nah. Once this is all over people will gladly go back to being fleeced by the megachurch/prosperity gospel grifters.

Churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. provide an atmosphere of fellowship, unite communities of people with similar beliefs and cultures, and fill peoples lives with hope and meaning. Regardless of whether or not their spiritual beliefs and dogma happen to be correct, they still have an important role to play in society.

I think people are overlooking a very key word in the question here…

People who don’t attend church regularly still go on Easter. I think it will change little, if at all.

@Darth_Algar People find value in all kinds of religious experiences, including Mega-churches. From what I’ve seen, they’re the religious equivalent of a monster-truck rally. It’s not for me, but it’s also not my place to judge others either.

…except for this bitch. She can rot in a cell for all I care.

She’s an idiot.

And I will bet a dollar a dire hard Republican as well.
Thanks for the clip @gorillapaws ,

Get used to this more often as it cuts down the costs to maintain these Churches.
Online delivery is now the choice of services.

Welcome to the change that is happening now to lift the world into the online life.

Work, school,medical assistance ( online Doctors),Church,everything will be online.

Store fronts will be gone and online instead, where everyone orders just as they do now but on a much bigger scale.
Deliveries by drones next and already in the early stages.

That that can’t be produced via computer generated devices will be done in warehouses within cubicles doing the job that is unsuitable for automation.

^If so, I’m glad I grew up in the 60’s where we actually played outside.

@chyna
I hear you..I had no toys as nature was my playground.

The whole point of church is community, not worship. You can worship alone.

To a lot of people, church is something they really look forward to every week. I have friends that go to churches where there is some type of fellowship meal after the church and to them, that’s the excitement of the week.

I also think mega-churches will encourage people to return so that they are inclined to make offerings. I know the churches’ revenue is probably down during this time, although I am willing to bet they are in touch with their parishioners and encouraging and reminding them to make donations online or via check in the mail.
