"sacred" spaces - just musing

[abaris]

Ya but.... the difference is the clearings our ancestors used didn't cost money to build. The church "elders" have to guilt trip people into believing their stupid god wants money so he can have a house built that he will never come and visit, pay taxes on or thank all those who contributed their money to build.

You think? Should look at what was offered there. All the sacrifices were at least as expensive as a church is today. Compared to what the people owned and their general standard of living.
