I will inevitably get some slack for this...
I am probably the most unreligious person I know. I have no real issue with the notion of religion...I'm critical of the whole concept and think that the history of religion paints it in an awfull light but when it comes to actual problems with religion, I don't have much. Hey, if someone believes something that has no real impact on me or any negative impact on anybody, and that something they believe helps them to cope good for them. Whatever. I'll live.
That said, I love the exterior of churches. I think they look magnificent and because I live in a very old city, there are a lot of beautiful ancient churches in my local area, as well as a fantastic Cathedral on top of a hill (I'll introduce you to it later). This church however sucks. There's nothing wrong with the building itself, it looks fine. And don't get me wrong, the only things I know about architecture is what I've read in The Fountainhead so when I say it looks good, I mean it doesn't look especially pretentious. But fuck man, what is with the blatant as fuck Dead Christ staring down at me whenever I walk past. Like I said, I'm not religious, but if I were I'd feel uncomfortable knowing my Dying Lord was *staring the fuck down at me* every time I went to worship.
Goddamn it.
