it is impressive, but its also logical and pretty straight foward. I garuntee that no christians are willing to sell their church to help others, if they do, then they are doing exactly what jesus would do. Any christian church that isn't sold, is fucking hippocritical and going against Jesus' teachings imo.

Christians believe that the church belongs to god, and that it is not in their right to sell it. At least, thats the idea. Buddhists believe nothing really exists... how can you sell nothing? You can if your a buddhist

I know that's not what you said. It is what I said, so if any words are present in your mouth they were put there by yourself.

Actually, a lot of historic churches have sold off their "luxurious" stuff, like gold crosses, gem encrusted chalices, etc. to raise money for the poor, in recent years.
As to selling the building, a nice gesture, but it seems a bit strange. Re-mortgaging it would make more sense to me (they'd have to have somewhere else to worship anyway, unless someone in the church/mosque/whatever has a massive house).
My company just donated £100,000. Not bad for a bunch of capitalist pigs, eh?

that's kind, but i don't see why churches would have to own stuff like gold anyway, doesn't sound very christian.

Yes, some of them realised the same, thankfully...
It's a hangover from the old Roman Catholic church when it was more powerful than the state in a lot of places. In the UK, most broke away to become Anglican, but still kept a lot of Roman Catholic style architecture, gold, stained glass windows, etc. general excess.
Go to an italian, greek or spanish cathedral if you want to see real excess. Gold leaf on everything!

they dont need a 'place' to worship. God will hear them no matter where they pray. Let them gather in a park or something. If their faith was strong they wouldn't need a church to emphasize their religion.

Some faiths actively encourage "congreagations". If you have nowhere to gather, how does that work?
