I find churches fascinating.
The most elaborate and eye-catching buildings in sight, which were hideously expensive to build and often took multiple lifetimes to complete, were erected for the benefit of an invisible consciousness. Think of the money and time and lives invested in building something for someone who may not even exist. And the artwork contained in them, in statuary and stained glass windows? Amazing.

It gives me a strange mix of admiration and horror.

As for the abuse- this site can no longer be considered fluffy, which is sad. Being a twat to others seems to have become de rigeur.
