I don't have to give you justification! The ostentatious architectural palaces are the ones that stick in one's mind. The 20' x 35' little box down some dirt road are the ones you don't remember.

What is good for one IS good for the other, however.

I have always been a believer that the real estate part (land and structure) of houses of worship should be taxed. These grand mausoleums which are constructed because of someone's ego (?) do not have to be built with the best of everything. To begin with, let's go back to the basic reason for their existence.
