As European worship steadily declines, many grand old buildings have fallen into disuse. What should become of them?

its history should be kept to original look and untouched til needed.

Agreed. Whether you believe or disbelieve the words of worship spoken within their walls, theose structures are an important part of European history and the development of Western civilizations.

these are precursors of the rise of the antichrist, who will rule 10 nations of the old roman empireAnd several Walmarts across the midwest...

Europe is dead, and the church in the U.S. is rapidly "falling away"....all predicted

which has fuckall to do with the topic, architecture and histircal preservation of certain landmark buildings.

"...many grand old buildings have fallen into disuse. What should become of them?"

oh?

That was in the headline....not my words

man

this thread went to shit so fast I'm not even sure what's going on in it anymore.

That's just one of the fringe benefits of having Mark around.

And several Walmarts across the midwest...


:roll:

I live in Europe and have been in a lot of these buildings. I am not at all a religious person, but the architecture is absolutly amazing. When you consider what they had to work with at the time some of the things they did astounds me. I'll post a few pictures if anyone is interested.

pics would be very interesting

Post the pics.

Given the choice of letting the building sit and Rot or be used for something else, I vote for some thing else. It drives me nuts to see old structures rotting from neglect.

Fuckitall....the ones that I was looking for aren't here, they're back in the states. All I have are some recent pics of a church in Maastricht, Holland and one in "ican'trememberthenameofthetown", Belgium. But you can still get the idea as far as the architecture...

Leave it to Mark... :rolleyes:

Leave it to Mark... :rolleyes:

To tell the truth.

Indeed.

Can we not have one fucking thread in this forum where mark doesn't throw religion into it. Fuck people we're takling about the preservation of architecture here, not about religion. That's why we have a religion section to post in.

To tell the truth.Hi fag! :)

Indeed.You too!

Can we not have one fucking thread in this forum where mark doesn't throw religion into it.Only by getting rid of Mark.

Only by getting rid of Mark.
Two options. Kill him or lock him in a cell/.

the truth terrifies those who know they have no hope

and they gnash their teeth, just like those in Sodom, before they were incinerated

aside from that, your point is absurd, there are many threads in this section I never post in
You have a good nack of smelling out the good ones though. Awww for the love of.... Is there a ignore button for his posts? This lil dingle berry is fucking up some threads with nice potential. Don't you need to be at the gym lifting somthing beef stick??
