churches - the root of all evil?

well, the root of all suburban sprawl at least...
"They rapidly gobble up prime agriculture land, adding to the sprawl and causing burden on the city's infrastructure."
there you have it folks: churches are a burden on cities.

"Churches kickstart suburban sprawl, study shows"

Once the new church is built, the parishioners soon follow, and housing springs up around the building.
Neighbourhoods are best designed when services such as parks, stores, schools and places of worship evolve out of the needs of the community.

this story IS kind of interesting but i only posted it mostly because i wanted the chance to call churches the root of all evil. seemed like a very 'me' thing to do and there was no way i was passing it up!
