Anonymous Coward User ID: 14093935 United States 04/14/2013 11:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If your referring to the steeple, I would guess two reasons: 1. to place the cross in a high place that can be seen from a great distance within a community, so that the cross has the highest position of any building in a town denoting its supreme authority (Back when towns were all small buildings). and 2. To house the church bell up high, so that it can be heard above the rooftops for a great distance to let everyone know when its time for church. Most bell towers are built in towers for this reason...you build higher than the buildings around it to allow the bell to be heard from far away. |

FolkilskFogsvans User ID: 7092164 Sweden 04/14/2013 11:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's satan's way of saying "in your face", mocking his worshipers for trying to have it their own way. Quoting: DGN "But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent seduced Eve by its cunning, YOUR minds might be corrupted away from the sincerity and the chastity that are due the Christ. 4 For, as it is, if someone comes and preaches a Jesus other than the one we preached, or YOU receive a spirit other than what YOU received, or good news other than what YOU accepted, YOU easily put up [with him]. ....

But their end shall be according to their works." 2Cor11:3 You seem like a sane and resonable person. |

I mean obviously its a phallic thing right? Otherwise they would sell beer in bowls right? Hey bartender! Give me a bowl of beer! Not everything is designed because of penises, moran. |

Zedakah User ID: 25719696 United States 04/14/2013 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Church comes from the Latin word "Circe." Circe was the daughter of Helios, and "Churches" were temples where the sun god Helios was worshiped. The steeple was was added to capture first rays of the sun in the morning, so it would land on the temple. Generally, the higher the steeple, the sooner the sun would hit the temple, and the more pious the followers of Helios. So it wasn't necessarily started as a phallic symbol, but it eventually did turn into a "my steeple is larger than your steeple" competition. |
