“Look at the pretty cathedral” isn’t exactly a stellar argument for fundamentalist value creation. Did they pray the stones into place?
No, they did not. They were built in the usual way.
Were they even built (and funded) to “glorify god”....? Not really.
They were built both by and for the same methods and purpose of any other non god themed building, then and now.
In any case the cathedrals don't come from fundamentalism anyway. Name me one fundamentalist cathedral. The mainline denominations build soaring architectural wonders for the ages; the fundamentalists build pole barns with steeples.
The difference is in their eschatology. Evangelicals believe Jesus is returning Any Day Now, so why would they undertake mutigenerational projects like a giant cathedral? Relatively speaking, most mainline denominations believe they are supposed to build god's kingdom on earth, stone by stone, generation by generation, until the literal kingdom of god is ushered in due to the earth being sufficiently prepared to receive it.
