One of Brazil's uber churches is to build a $200m replica of Solomon's Temple. It won't be cast in gold, as the OTT Solomon had it, but will "...spend tonnes of money.". Good on ya. A cynic may, possibly, suspect there could be better things to spend money on: the poor; contraception; education; gay rights; strip poker. But no, a colossal church it is - reaching a height of a measly 55m (twice the height of Rio's Christ on a Hill motif).
