$2B??? Seems like a “reasonable” number since I’ve seen figures that go as low as $420M to as high as $5B. It’s apparent that the mormon church doesn’t believe in honest and open accountability to its members since the church won’t divulge exactly how much it cost.
Oh, and the argument that no tithing funds were used, lame.
Money is a fungible resource. The church had to start building their empire with something. Tithing money is the obvious source of all the church wealth.
A monument to consumerism created by a “church”.
Building up the empir...err, “kingdom”.
Reminds me of Fred Sanford’s “Church of the Divine Profit.”
