Sorry, I think that you're misintrepreting the original comment by peter. As noted above, the buildings are represetentative of our collective morality or "what a community should be built around". I'm not denying the good physical churches and the like can do for their communities at all.

No, Corsi got it right. I also never said that only one should dominate, but that a community is a complex intertwining of private and public institutions. However, if you had read the rest of my comment, you would see that I mentioned how important it was that these institutions were given the freedom to adapt to local circumstances.

Govern our morality, not the state. But in the end, particularly legally, doesn't that become the same thing? Peter's question was posed as "what would you want to build your community around, church, cathedral, mosque, etc.. or community center funded by the government?" As if we're talking about a fresh community, with no previous affiliations.

Start abstract, and start fleshing out what it looks like in practice. Government services are absolutely important. At no point, did I say that fraternal organizations and churches could do it alone.
