Did you repost this/ was my comment removed?
I did this assignment BEFORE there were questions attached. This is not fair.

"Do we pray for the Bet HaMikdash to be rebuilt so that we gain yet another avenue for 'instant spirituality?' Are we looking for the 'easy life?' Or are we looking for an avenue to perfect a relationship built on solid pillars of "tzedek u'mishpat?"
I think there are people on both sides of the spectrum. One one hand there are people who need God to have some form of tangibility, because they find praying towards a city, and to a wooden closet to be difficult. On the other hand, there are those who would use korbanot to enchance thier relationship with God.
Nevertheless, in all liklihood Korbanot would probably not be detrimental to Judaism. (not going into wether meat/vegtable korbanot should be given. After all, if the only way a person can connect to God is Korbanot, at least they are making the connection.
