I could see that being true for some faiths, but not for Christians. We are to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, the process of which is declared to be our spiritual worship. I think the devotion we in the church have given to buidlings has become (at least in our modern era) determintal to our living worship of God. Churches have become more places for the establishment of memorials in the name of the dearly departed than places of worship of the living God who sends us forth in his service in the world doing ministry in his name.
if you look at islamic history, the mosques were simple places. for example the first mosque - that of the prophet saws had a mud floor and did not even have a roof for much of its life.
but today, building grand mosques has many benefits eg: attracting people to the mosque who may not otherwise come.
also there is a hadith which says Allaah is beautiful and loves beauty
Very nice.
Kaaba! Subhan'Allah
salaam
please note that the mosque is not called kaabah it is called Masjid -Al-Haraam
