Admittedly, I find churches stunning and if I had the money I would build a grand temple that would remind me of the churches I attended when I was younger.

But the modern Pagan community didn’t treat me like shit because I’m a queer woman so I’d rather be in a hut made of sticks with great people than in a picturesque church with a bunch of assholes.

I love church architecture in general. However, people (community) and relationship with the God(s) are more important than the beauty of the buildings.
In our city, we have buddhist temple and a mosque and they both are amazing creations of architecture. But this does not mean that one should immediately become buddhist or muslim just because the cult buildings of these religions are fancy.

I’ll take some stones arranged in a circle in the woods with people that accept me than a gaudy palace built with money snatched from the hands of ordinary people by assholes and demagogs any day!
