Why Creationists don't realize the biblical Creation is just jewish mythology?

[Anomalocaris]

Fundies build mega churches that make cathedrals look like polebarns, ultimately, though, both buildings are constructed for the same purpose, and “glorifying god” is just the ad copy.


I prefer the pole barns, myself.  

I don't think the big megachurches are in remotely the same class as, say, Notre Dame or Westminster Abbey. Nor does a modern construct like that represent the same level of multigenerational effort. Anyone with a few million bucks can build a big auditorium and parking lot in a few months these days.

However I agree that the motivation in both cases is to cement hegemony over the sheeple. And to coerce those outside the fold into it. And I agree, the pole barns are a lot less wasted resources.

The difference between Notre Dame and the megachurch lies in the fact that in the era of the Notre Dame, Christianity tended to reserve a larger share of its loot for public display and allowed less of it to directly line the pockets of churchmen.

The reason for the difference could, however, be as simple as the first, much less the second or third, private jet hasn't been invented yet.
