Mega churches

Does anybody here belong to a "mega church" or know anyone who does? My aunt said she thinks mega churches are more commercial, being more about profit than faith. Agree? If you're religious, would you join one?

There's one right by my house, but I'm not a member. It probably is more about profit, since it's branched out into the a franchise.

Is a "Prot" supposed to mean Protestant (i.e. any Christian who denies the authority of the Pope?) Regardless, that's pretty funny coming from a member of an organization that is the most profitable organization in history.
