This isn't about religion, it's about history, and buildings. I'm a atheist, but I like a lot of the old churches.

Nowadays churches can never look like the days of old. Something to do with govt ruling that new churches can't be build to look like actual churches in Western countries, instead must be warehouse look, hence the spaceship design of Calvary Church, it's about the take off, man. Any truth in this?
*
yes. Most new churches nowadays just use shop lots.

hopefully 200-300 years from now those building will be historical sites and I'm guessing most people will laugh just like how we laugh at people worshipping the sun, trees, zeus, odin, volcanoes etc.

I hope the same too, but also for Mosques.

I prefer the look of mosques in the Arabian world to mosques in Malaysia. Mosque in malaysia looks too "modern"

QUOTE(ray123 @ Mar 2 2013, 12:30 PM)
The government encourages smaller churches to be nondescript, as in out of sight and out of mind. The bigger ones are showpieces as examples of Malaysian diversity. That doesn't prevent simple shop lots of being raided and inspected just in case they are being used for religious reasons. I've seen a letter from the local council certifying a thorough inspection had been done being framed in a shop because the owner was fed up of being accused using the premises as an illegal church.
*
it is also extremely difficult and takes a long time to try and get the proper paper work to start a new church, or to even begin constructing a new church building in church owned lands

Your line: "I'm a atheist, but I like a lot of the old churches"
It reminds me one of Bill Maher lines:
"...Back in jail, I'm fine with some ass-play but I hate faggots"

Real Time with Bill Maher: Loving the A$$-Play, Hating the F_gs (July 29th, 2011)

Nope, completely not the same. And please stop using Bill Maher, that guy's a douche. Prefer someone like Dawkins and Penn Jillette.
I like the aesthetics of churches.

Did you know that the Malay peninsular already had a church way before North America had anything?
