Godzilla vs. MegaChurch

So these folks bought and renovated and the former stadium used by the Houston Rockets and converted it into MEGA-CHURCH!

Sports. Entertainment. Religion. Is it all the same thing now? The great Churches of Europe were supposed to transport you to a better place (a better place than Medieval Europe that is), somehow this was all lost in Super Sized America.

Oh and it you think I'm a bit off? How about this little nugget from Rick 'Dog Love' Santorum:
Michael Novak rightly argues that democratic capitalism taps into individual creativity and initiative and relies on self-interest—not to satisfy individual greed but to benefit others, the principal other being the family. Such a system not only produces wealth but also virtuous people whose worldly enterprise complements the work of the Creator. In attempting to keep companies aligned with their mission of improving society (and not simply maximizing profits), the laborer becomes trained in virtue.
So there you go...
