Outrageous abuse of terminology

dsrtaoA 'megachurch' is commonly defined as a church building in which 2000 people can be expected every Sunday.
A 'gigachurch' is merely 5 times that large.
Objection one: apparently a megachurch is really a 2-kiloperson church.
Objection two: a gigachurch should be a thousand times larger than a megachurch.
Anytime someone says "megachurch", please ask them whether there are a million people going there, or whether they consider each worshipper to be 500 times more important than each of their neighbors.
