Different religions have different places of worship, for example Catholics have a church, Jews have a synagogue, Islams have a mosque, etc. It doesn't matter what it's called a house of worship is just that; a house of worship. There have been stories of different houses of worship being burnt down throughout history, however, this was especially common during World War II and the Holocaust. The Nazi's burnt down Synagogues, which in my opinion was just terrible. A religion doesn't need a house of worship, but it is extremely nice to have. If you believe in something, you don't need to just show it at a church, synagogue, mosque, etc. you should be sticking to your faith throughout your daily life. However, in a house of worship, you have support. Everybody that attends the different masses, or meetings are there for you; they believe the same thoughts as you and go through the same things as you when it comes to those belief's. When the Nazi's burnt down synagogues they thought they were ridding the planet of "scum" when in reality they were just making their support waver, they made it a little harder to have everybody sticking with each other. I can't even imagine what they were feeling when their house of worship was burnt down; emptiness, sadness, grief, agony. I feel terrible just thinking what they had to endure when they watched them be burnt down. After they burnt, some still had faith that everything would be okay, if not now but sometime in the future whether it be five days or five years. All you need to do, is have a little faith and everything will be okay.
To the people who remained faithful to your belief's after their house or worship was burnt- I respect you, so much.
