Huge replica planned for Sâo Paulo would be twice the height of the iconic statue of Jesus in Rio de Janeiro
The 10,000 capacity "mega-church", which is the brainchild of Brazil's Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, will also house a replica of the Ark of the Covenant and be built according to "biblical orientations".

A huge temple is being built. We have millions and millions of starving people around the world, yet this temple is being built by the religious. I just don't get it.

just a replica though...no ark !!!! hoping I dont step on OP's toes can we use this to discuss Moses?...now about the Ark...think about this...thriving economy in Egypt all the crops from the vast river and jobs galore!!! soon prodjects complete and a little layoff comes about and here we have people living on credit just like we do today. The "Rat Race" so Moses being an opportunist thinks it wouldnt be hard to cherry pick some craftsmen and promise them a land where they will have good jobs and no debt. Now the only thing I can think of that would make Pharaoh get all upidy is if Moses steals something on the way out of town...a machine...the Ark..what ever it is. 40yrs of getting lost and he (moses) would have to invent a religion to keep the masses from lynching him..which in the end is what I think happened anyway...
if nothing else, I have a cool little take on a story here

You almost think this is being done to spite the Jews; especially the Temple Institute of Jerusalem preparing to build a temple on the spot currently occupied by the dome of the rock.
Meh. Either way, Jerusalem is Jerusalem, Mount Moriah, Mount Moriah. If Sao Paolo wants to imitiate the Jews, let them.
