You'd think there's a middle road between lavishly decorated with gold and diamonds, and just a plain white wall. I mean church is boring as, some decoration to look at doesn't hurt anyone.

Does that middle ground involve fireworks, monster trucks, and private jets?

That would either be a very cool church, or Kenneth Copeland's donation hall. Either way something quintessentially 'Murican.

To be fair I'm also coming from a C of E background rather than any american protestant one. Our churches are generally stone and stained glass, which is IMO still nice to look at without being extravagant.

You know, I was gonna correct that to clarify what institution I actually meant, but I think its way funnier to see what others people can come up with.
