God bless Matt Groening and the family Simpson. I love you all equally - not favouring one over any other. The Simpsons show is America's only saving grace,
Magnificent. Ironic that the world's most splendid architecture was inspired by something which requires no building at all. Jesus was not impressed by ceremony or displays of grandeur and would have been just as pleased with an open field or a simple structure, if anything at all.
Like religion itself it is more for the mortal and the egos of priests or rulers to show off on the world stage. I wonder if the money the poor donated to build these stone jewels would not have been better spent on the needy themselves; but that is one of the many ironies of religion.
Perhaps one day the Pope will hold a divine auction and give the cash to what God would like to spend it on instead of hoarding it for no good reason. That's Catholicism for you.... They are just a bunch of old drag queens in gaudy dresses putting on a show on very fancy stages. They, the buildings are never-the-less truly splendid and a testament to the glory of man's talent and craftsmanship.... oh, yes - and the wonder of the magic man in the sky.
It is all so very "Only in America" and kitch in the truest sense of the word; expensive and tasteless. He liked it and that is all that matters. I feel no urge to see it and cannot understand why so many people do.
The man lacked imagination and could have added some cherubs or pixies, etc.. 0r England is probably still laughing since he did end up with most of what Davis owned in life and obviously didn't advise on style and grace as well as refrain from offering moral opinions. He was not going to spoil the fun.
I think it's not too late to add some angels and fairies........... Maybe the family dog or why not Mr England. Only in America.
