By the same argument, the government is composed of, for and by the people. We don't need a huge parliament house and other magnificient structures displaying the wonders of our country's progress. No, the money spent on these huge national structures should be channeled to further help the poor and needy... Unless we're saying that national buildings, monumnets have a soci-cultural significance... just like churches and temples do. <strong>Peter: The topic of this entry is about mega-churches. Lets not stray from it. But yes, anything done excessively is not a good thing.</strong> I agree completely.
