More than any building, we are supposed to be the house that is called by God's name, yet we insist on filling our minds, hearts, and bodies with detestable things that drive away his presence. At least child sacrifice had a noble(ish) purpose in mind. The ancients killed their children to buy rain or military victory. Today we kill our children for convenience and comfort. Frequently "civilization" is just the veneer we put on to hide our barbarism.
Jeremiah 7:30-31
