  • Apparently it's perfectly fine to build enormous buildings in small towns as long as there are enough trees you can hide behind! Or so the LDS Church seems to suggest...

      The Temple is sacred and hallowed space for the patrons and members who worship therein.
      It is situated next to a 4 lane highway. Across from fastfood and retail space, nestled inbetween 3 churches. It will be extensively landscaped and will become a haven for the community. The end result is much different than you anticipate.

    As an exmo, I can tell ya that there's a reason temples are so big with giant steeples and shiny golden angels on top. It's to make people see them. To dominate the view as soon as that steeple is visible. It gets people talking and interested with a "Hey what goes on in there?" conversation. And then when people stop at the visitor's center or on the street to look, they get pounced on by missionaries and members who will try to convert them.

But we can’t do that because we are God’s kingdom on earth and God wants this design. How do we know? Our beloved prophet, seer and revelator told us so!

The town was gracious in doing so, and what do they get in return? The church trying to misuse a federal law and beat up on people in such an egregious way. Bullies.
