Outdoor Church Lights
I've never thought about it much, but when you drive around Pennsylvania at night you notice how many churches have outdoor lights - the big, bathe the church in light type kind - on at all times at night.
Do faiths require their places of worship to do this? It seems to me to be a rather wasteful use of energy, particularly churches that have no one at that location at night. Just wonderin'.

I've often wondered why so many churches have no windows or the ones they have are boarded up sorta like a stripper bar actually.
Using the Dilbert way of gathering knowledge, some guy or gal told me the windows are boarded up because churches often get vandalized. So the boarded up windows are to keep the vandals out.
Maybe the extreme lighting is also to discourage vandals.
