Air conditioner produces clean, healthy air, and filters dust, pollen, smoke from the air, dehumidifies the air, and creates a better feeling of wellbeing.
Standing for long periods can cause pain to ankles, knee, and hip joints, thus, comfortable seats.
I've just explained the health benefits of having A/C and chairs within a church.
Now you explain the health benefits of have smoke machines and colored lights at a Christian rock concert or youth services?

I repeat - none of these things are NECESSARY. They are luxuries. We have great revival in Kenya without air conditioning and half the people don't have seats. They stand for hours just to be in the presence of a living God!
There is NOTHING WRONG with smoke machines or lighting effects. If the kids like it, it's fine. God can move in the midst of vapor and smoke and lights!!! I've seen it many many times. Some of the most intimate worship times we have are during our "Edge" service, and there is weird lighting, fog, etc. etc. The presence of God has been really strong in those services. If you haven't been to one, then you really can't judge it, can you?
