only evangelical niggers design their churches like that

money laundering

because you can't build a cathedral out of plywood

Protestantism is soulless.

Looks like a car dealership

It's an old basketball arena

>Pr*testcucks

wooden churches can be nice too

Nice for burning

What was the price of this "thing"?

Could've fooled me, your buildings are so generic

yes, cathedral made out of WOOD, not fucking paper-mache with wood splinters

I went to one in Savonlinna that was really nice

Well, that looks like a megachurch. Otherwise, they're built like that for convenience purposes. It's just easier and cheaper to maintain in this day and age, add a cross on top and there you go. The same can hardly be said of gothic churches with beautiful floor tiling and stained glass windows, they're nice but maintenance would be a huge pain, which is why you sometimes see Catholic churches in an advanced state of decay.

Why do people need megachurches or mosques if God provides universal coverage

Megachurches built by evangelicals.

You sound like a disgusting crypto-burger. We don't really have this shit here in Canada. The fact that it pops up in america is more of a cultural issue than that of pragmatic need.

1. Sense of community, so its about the fee-fees.
2. See:

Does Canada even go to church though? We're talking massive numbers of people, children, etc. of all social classes entering and leaving the building. Our local church of 300 people is a much smaller but still very square building and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to keep everything in order.

I remember this from Payday 2.

>maintenance would be a huge pain
they don't have ladders in Brazil or do you have to stack a bunch of barrels every time you clean a window?

holy shit you're right lmao

Have you ever noticed how many crevices those churches can have? It'll easily get dirty inside and the paint/details will end up peeling off outside due to the weather.

why do evengaleion niggers design their churches like car stores

Prostestants.
There are churches like that in here too.

'muh old churches' is literally the most europoor of europoor sentiments

Do you even know what a car store is you fucking arab? They're all in Catalonia so I bet your meme ass has never even seen one.

what?
get back to your tree nobody called you among the humans

You can't be serious

Stop deflecting. You sound like a mentally ill protestant burger on vacation. Our churches manage just fine without having to look like poorly planned expo spaces.

idk. but if you ever see one of those "modern" looking churches, you can bet your ass it's a nigger church.
monkey bitch

because american protestantism is ran like a business and can be very lucrative.

Real non-meme answer here. There are some beautiful churches in the US, even modern churches. Most of them are Catholic or Mormon. It really has to do with the economic model.

With the Catholics and Mormons, you have very wealthy and large organizations building a church from scratch in a specific area, and then trying to fill a small number of seats. And it reflects badly on the larger organization, if some individual local priest just builds something that isn't beautiful. Their expansion is global, not local; so they will just build another nice small church somewhere else when they want to expand.

Jewish synagogues can be beautiful in the US, because they cater to wealthy congregants, and do not proselytize. They build a nice building, and expect the number of congregants to stay relatively stable.

With evangelical protestant churches, you often have an individual preacher, or small group of preachers, with extremely limited resources (compared to large organizations like the catholics or Mormons, or Saudi Wahhabi). A lot of them start off in the most non-elevating buildings you can imagine, preaching to a small number of relatively poor people. Many start off in non-church buildings, just renting a room in some type of office building. This popular music video comes to mind youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg

Evangelical churches are competing with other protestants (including other evangelicals) to try to grow their congregation, the same way a business will try grow their number of customers. And they can't get money from the "head office" in Rome, Salt Lake City, or Riyadh. So with Mega Churches, the emphasis is on getting as many bodies into pew seats as possible, at as low of a cost as possible, leaving room for LOCAL growth (you cant really grow non-locally because they are more independent, they aren't a religious hierarchy like Catholics or Mormons). So megachurches expand, like how a business expands its warehouse.

go back to your favela José

Rate my town's protestant church

That one actually is nice and tasteful

These aren't churches these are $cults$

Most churches here are like this. You might get one or two megachurches per big city and that's it.

a couple of trees and a garden would be nice

Because we didn't have giant cathedrals built as a symbol of some king or pope's power over the peasants.

Because they're businesses basically. Remember to donate so the pastor can get his new Porsche.

That's not a church, it's a business

All religions are cults, mate.

Religions are businesses, mate.

It used to be known as The Summit and is an ancient gathering place for basketball americans. After the team moved the building was put up for sale by the city and bought by Lakewood Church.

Check out this Finnish design

Looks like a great design for a recording studio
