denlin Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 They're selling them on to make money, nobody uses them because we've stopped believing in fantasy figures. Why should the building stand empty. Bet all those who are complaining never go to church anyway so why suddenly get on their high horse. A building needs people in for it to come to life otherwise it disintegrates and dies - what I hate is to see beautiful old buildings laying empty and decaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Shame to see a former church becoming a lowly supermarket. Far better to convert it to an alternative religious/cultural/community/educational use; many old churches here in Sheffield have been thus rehabilitated, such as St. George's by the University... The capitalist in me says a supermarket is far better than a funded community centre that would be left to rot by some daft lefty group without a clue. A mosque would be a fine use for an old church as Islam is taking over from Christianity as the majority religion in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 If there was still a demnad for church, it would not have been sold to Tesco. If there was no demand for Tesco it would have closed down by now. I wonder how many people at the bakery counter say "give us this day our daily bread" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather all* churches/mosques/places of worship were replaced by Tescos. jb * and by all I mean every single one on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
