I understand why it's a "logical fallacy", but it sure seems to be "real world" true! As a psychologist who goes to a megachurch, I'd just say two things :) 1. Psychology does a brilliant job of explaining human behavior. The problem is, we can only base our research on a "broken" model. We can only study people who are fallen, and therefore psychology can never get to the "deep truths" as CS Lewis might say. 2. I attend a megachurch of approximately 15,000 people. And I have never experienced better, more intimate, and more real community in my life. It's not the size of the church that matters - it's what the church teaches and values that counts.
