i'm a wood carver and leather worker...the loss of all that fine work, done by hand, lying on your back, hanging from your knees, done with hand made tools, by the light of the sun if you were lucky, but guttering lamp light if you weren't....
how many artisans and craftsmen poured their hearts into that building? it was a monument to their talent...

every monument on the planet is a propaganda tool for whoever built it...so tear down the pyramids, because they were built by slaves? tear down the great wall of China, it divides the country? tear down the parthenon, it glorifies European colonialism? tear down stonehenge, we don't know what the fuck they meant with this, could be all kinds of objectionable shit, better to be safe than sorry...
if that's all you see when you look at history, maybe you should quit looking at history.

Churches are all propaganda tools and that's their only purpose, indoctrination into the cult. I can appreciate the engineering and aesthetics of buildings or monuments and hate what they represent.

I think you would really enjoy it. If you haven't already checked it out

It must be a pathetic existence you have to never see beauty in anything.

You must have some problem with understanding the written word tacomeat, might want to try rereading the second sentence of my last post.
I understand perfectly. You're a douche that can't appreciate anything without insulting it in the same breath.

I bet you say to your wife, "I love you very much even though you're a hideous, worthless bitch."

Up in smoke, entropy trumps nostalgia.

And a monument to priests molesting children, these type of cathedrals were built as propaganda tools for religion.
This is what’s missing in the “ah some gothic bonfire cathedral with perfect aesthetics aligned to the golden ratio and special glass” narrative. Talk about distraction from diddling the choir

France’s richest man and some luxury goods guy in a pissing contest to see who can donate the most to rebuild some hideous gothic architecture. Lol
