If something like what I described actually turns out to be true, I'll dedicate the rest of eternity to inventing time travel so I can meet the pre-incarnation memory loss version of me and punch them in the face. Just saying.
Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years."Pseudo Blue-and-Orange Morality" means humans are not Blue-and-Orange Morality.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.I guess cats, dolphins, and wolves are humans then.
And that is not even relevant to what I said.

Watch me destroying my countryYo! Proud Co E Christian, where the C stands for communist.
I've visited a few Buddhist temples that were breathtaking to look at as well, so I can vouch that Christianity doesn't have a monopoly on places of worship that are easy on the eyes.

Yeah, Many religions have cool temples.
My favorite one is still the Cao Dai temple. Is a glorious mix between Catholic and Buddhist aesthetics

Watch me destroying my countryI live next to a Mormon church and it's absolutely immense, towering over most nearby houses and matching the height of some buildings. It also has a golden statue of an angel blowing a trumpet on top of it. Said statue is even used as an easy point of location (look at the sky, see the statue in the distance? you can get an inkling where exactly you are). There are also some pretty massive evangelical churches around, one in my city being the actual size of a shopping mall.
I suppose it varies from branch to branch. The Cathedrals do tend to be the the big, wonderful churches (my city having a long history of Baroque art, so it has some mesmerizing cathedrals), but I often get the sense it's only the old, historical ones. New churches seem to be way more modest.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I love mosques too, but the lack of comfortable seating makes itself felt. More importantly, here in Stockholm the Lutheran churches are on top of hills and have awesome brick work and sharp pointy bronze rooftops that I find really satisfying and sleek in their geometry. The insides are modest, but not Spartan: as the churches nowadays function mostly as daycare centers and cultural hubs (choirs, painting, photography) the atmosphere tends to be quiet but in a warm and welcoming sort of way. Very bright and cozy interiors, seeking to embrace rather than cow. The contrast with my experience in Gothic Spaniard churches is stark. Although some of the older cathedrals here could get pretty Catholic-ish and go for the a bit more atmospheric and mysterious/mystic style, as well as opulent. Swedish Lutheranism evolved in much the same way as Anglicanism: very gradually and top-down.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.I've never been inside a mosque. My greatest insight into its achitecture is the fact the Jedi Temple(s) in Star Wars have an architecture inspired by mosques.

Maybe we're all part of a weird cult.
