There are churches in some countries that have a 3-hour church service (Some Indian Oriental Orthodox Churches for example). Unfortunately, my church does not due to being somewhat Americanized.  Very few American church services last 3 hours.

::There are a lot of poor debaters who are intellectually lazy and haven't done their homework. And unfortunately, some of the more informed people are not consistent and are intellectually dishonest. This is a shame because the Bible says to love God with your heart, soul and mind. It is sad that many people leave out the mind part and are intellectually shallow. It is said that Americans are often anti-intellectual and a lot of forms of Christianity sprang out of the USA. For example, I briefly attended a church where it seems that most of the members thought that man's nature was basically good (We played some kind of card game where the question was asked if men were basically good or bad). The Bible teaches the sinfulness of men without Christ and that Christians will have to battle sin and wrestle with it (The Apostle Paul did in his life). So the idea that men are basically good is anti-biblical.
