Megachurches and their "high"

Megachurches are definitely on the rise in America. They bring in tons of people every service and have multiple services on Sundays. Why are these huge churches becoming so popular? Is it because of a so called "high" people get when they are there?

I thought about this in two different ways. First, you could think of the feeling you get when you're worshipping as a "high". You get caught up in worshipping and really forget everything else that might've been weighing on you. The other way I thought about this was more like an actual high though. I think some people go to these megachurches and churces in general for the atmosphere rather than really getting anything out of it. Close to where I'm from, there is a huge thing at a local church called Dexter every Halloween. It's about a guy named Dexter who committed suicide. I know so many people that have gone to the program and gotten saved that night then never say another word about it after it. I think they just get so caught up in the moment, they really have no idea what they are doing or committing themselves to.

I don't see anything wrong with megachurches. I think it's great that they draw such large crowds. They also draw people that probably wouldn't go anywhere else, but go there because it is exciting. The problem comes in when those people are only there for fun and not to get the full experience.
