Heard at Georgetown Texas convention: Why are there so many different churches built? Because it's easier to build a temple than be a temple. ++++

Heard at Georgetown Texas convention: Why are there so many different churches built? Because it's easier to build a temple than be a temple. ++++ Many churches/denominations came out of the RCC and they follow the Mother's church example. The RCC began building their church buildings for a place of worship in the 3rd century, it was likely not until around the year 313 A.D. when the emperor Constantine became a Christian for a political reason.
The earliest identified Christian church building was a house church founded between 233 and 256 A.D. From the 11th through the 14th centuries, a wave of building of cathedrals and smaller parish churches were erected across Western Europe.

Science has now found that we ignore the possibility that we die. On some level we all know we will die, but our brains are such that they protect us from actually considering it carefully. This new study was one I found really interesting. www.theguardian.com/science/2019/oct/19/doubting-death-how-our-brains-shield-us-from-mortal-truth?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR1Jadx8owXnX14PBJ5WWxQHKHLal9e3rt3BeXeqoSke5l-tNywhbILjcKs

Where were some of the first convention sheds built solely for the use of meetings? Vanderbilt MI? I heard about how Weldon Burgess pushed the workers in the cold of winter to get the project built and it is no longer used for a convention grounds today.

And the irony, Georgetown might be one of the first Friend-ly church building(s) specific conventions built! Such buildings have been appearing for decades already in some places. Two I know of were build using the identical blueprint.

If you told them they could run their car on jam made in Israel I am sure they would try.

How come these people are unable to see through the deceit foisted upon them. Other than believing in myths, most of them are reasonably intelligent and sane.
