Just look at what all that fear-grifted money can buy! How majestic, how divine, how heaven-on-Earth it all is. 😱 And, not a single poor person in sight! Just as <insert god> intended! 🙄
It is possible to appreciate the architecture and not act as righteous as the Catholic church
Only if you force yourself not to consider the generations of oppression, insidious fraud, outright murder, and rampant brainwashing from the cradle to beyond the grave, sure. Maybe. I guess. That’s not a habit I wanna accidentally train myself into, though. Do you?
I’ve been contemplating visiting Chicago with my wife. When I showed her this pic, she said “Cool cathedral beats weird liver thing!”
The Bean? Lmao I need to start calling it the weird liver thing.
FWIW, didn’t the designer get pissed that everyone was able to enjoy it for free, and wanted to fence it off? 🤌🏼
What do those letters in the ceiling mean? I’m especially confused by the h with a crossbar on it
It’s a christogram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christogram#IHS
