I mean, taking the whole &quot;I&#39;m a Mormon, I&#39;m biased&quot; thing out of it, I&#39;m really curious to know why anybody cares. I live in the Boston area, and went to school in boston for 7 years; we&#39;ve got the Mary Baker Eddy (Christian Scientist) Center, a Scientology regional headquarters, etc. Now, I don&#39;t practice these religions and, in the case of Scientology, I find that belief system offensive. But they&#39;re just buildings--erasing the building doesn&#39;t make the belief system go away, and people have the right to practice whatever religion they want.<br /><br />Whatever you think of Mormons, Temples are beautiful buildings--and they bring revenue to the area. I remember when the Boston Temple (which is actually in Belmont) was built, there was this huge uproar--everybody was freaking out about putting Moroni on the spire. Now, years later, those same people have pretty much forgotten that the Temple is even there. It&#39;s just one more building in the general landscape; even despite being large, it really just blends right in.C.J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08086277404490573891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378433629639897384.post-13476247743930214212010-01-08T11:26:44.476-07:002010-01-08T11:26:44.476-07:00Its my sincere hope that the Temple is never built.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
