B-b-but muh medieval tyranny kept everybody broke... How could they have afforded such expensive buildings and artwork that lasts so much longer?
(The result of putting economics first in society rather than God and the ideologies God wants from society is a race to get money first and cheap = faster making it a race to the bottom as far as quality)
What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:36... You could change man to nation and get largely the same meaning.
Forfeiting one’s soul would imply one had said soul to offer.
The damned have little fear in this mortal world
“damned if I do, damned if I don’t” is the common mantra of the hedonist..., fine and dandy
One does not need to believe in God to have a healthy respect for said entity.
In my opinion only a fool would bet against damnation. Odds are we are all as ignorant of our existence as we have ever been...., computers and rockets are just the cusp.
When the AWAKENING ......happens, eyes wide open everyone will see
Side note: I have a few beers in me... it’s been a long morning...., Cheers!
Good points. We circle jerk ourselves into thinking we're so evolved but we've basically barely learned to crawl as a species. We need more humility. I don't think one needs God to recognize that the universe and it's potential is near infinite. We've only recently discovered how to "not get killed" by electricity, and we know some cute tricks with magnetism (AC motor for example), but we are so far from "mastering" electricity and magnetism and those forces. We can't even decide what the fuck gravity is.
Agreed, one doesn't need God to understand these things and respect them in a healthy, humble fashion (ready and willing to learn more), but I do notice it can help. On the other hand, I've seen it hinder learning because "God made it this way" becomes a cop out that prevents further examining.

And we give this up for what? Corporate cookie cutter skyscrapers. Franchises and logos.
It seems when God is included in state capacity for both arts and sciences increases. Maybe we better question our affinity for democracy?

You could never afford to pay the artisans required to create such a masterpiece..., today
Sadly it’s alll about money. Imagine the cost that unions would charge...., building would cost billions of $
Meanwhile the boring shit building with way more practicality only cost a couple of million$
Economics trump majesty
