Outrageous abuse of terminology

[dsrtao]

A '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.

Very Funny

During the last election the Republicans sent out a mailing which said in effect "to control crowds, Republicans are to vote on election day and Democrats on the day after".

Using your idea we could have the Dems send out one that says:

"The faithful need not bother to vote in person, your prayers will be recorded instead". Should be a big winner.
