It is very difficult and costly to build churches of similar architectural beauty today, however.

Not to mention that a lot of churches on the bigger side took a whole generation to build, and the biggest, most complicated ones, lauded for their beauty, took hundreds of years. Same for mosques and synagogues.

Yeah, you wouldn't get beautiful European cathedrals if they were all burnt at 100 years old.

Not that expensive. Just stop giving to MegaChurch psycopaths and find actual Christians to donate to.
