Interesting Comparison

I'm sitting in church today (thanks to my parents) and the pastor during the sermon starts talking about Wal-Mart. Naturally, I'm like, What, huh, I don't get where this is going. And usually that state of confusion leaves me dissapointed as it goes somewhere meaningless, but today this was not the case. She, the pastor, said that everytime a Wal-Mart opens a few local businesses close. She went on to say that everytime a new mega-church opens, a few local churches may close. Wow, for once something said in a church made perfect sense to me. I've never heard anyone say that the Wal-Mart effect works for churches, what do you think?
