Watching these crazy church videos reminded me of this thread...
I agree that some churches are too youth oriented. When I was a child we sang in the choir to keep ourselves entertained in church. The church resembled a church, not a dancefloor! We also did not have a youth center.
Now, at my newer church they just built a youth center that looks like the REAL WORLD house! The only things missing is a jacquzzi and a basket of condoms.
It is three stories! The first floor has a stage and a coffee bar. The basement has leather chairs, flat screens, playstations/xbox, and a snack bar. It looks like a dayum bachelor pad down there. The second floor has carpeted meeting rooms for each grade and gender (6-9 grade boys and girls). How is all this supposed to get them closer to God? It will definately attract more kids, but will it be for the right reasons?
Some more pet peeves:
-People who won't make their loud kids shut up
-In order to become a member of a church you have to be saved.
-Pastors who always preach about money issues.
-Aggressive drivers on the parking lot.
