In the town I live (in CT), there are 3 main houses of worship, a multi-million dollar synogogue (sorry for spelling), a multi million dollar Catholic church, and a 5 million dollar mosque that is being built by the muslim community. If religion is supposed to be about tolerance, acceptance, helping others, etc, then why do religious group WASTE so much money on their houses of worship? It sounds to me like the thought is "If we have the biggest most amazing house of worship, we can impress the most people and win them over to our religion". Shouldn't this money be spent on people that are in NEED, like these religions teach????
