Re: why do you like church buildings for meetings?
I like going to the biggest and nicest church in town, where the members dress the best and drive the nicest cars and live in the biggest houses.

That was more like a "street revival" than a house church.

Do you really think the majority of Christians think like this? I really don't believe they do.
