Are you comparing mosques/churches/temples, or are you comparing religions?

Are you comparing mosques/churches/temples, or are you comparing religions?
- keiferski 3y agoI think you’d have a hard time divorcing the “religion” from its physical manifestation (or vice versa) in the world.
- FetusP 3y agoYeah but you could say Chipotle and Panda Express buildings are very similar, but the core business is way different.
- keiferski 3y agoBut the actual buildings of churches and mosques are quite different. The only ones that are similar tend to be newer constructions or were previously the other thing; e.g. the Hagia Sophia.
- FetusP 3y agoI think ultimately it just matters your comparison tolerance levels. You could just as easily make the argument that most churches are different from each other as well. In my opinion, churches/mosque/temples are very similar because I live in a younger part of the world where the modern buildings look similar and the eventual purpose is them being a place of worship.
- ilaksh 3y agoChipotle and Panda Express are almost the same business.
