Just to preface this, it’s more about me rambling about aesthetic appeal than I am trying to say anything about the actual churches, like, as organizations.

But then I remember the Protestant church my aunt went to and I’m like 😬 that thing was Sheetrock and one stain glass window and I’m pretty sure they were more conservative.

This isn’t even a total pride thing, I sometimes feel awkward attending church because I’m not doing worship stuff, I’m literally just mad about the architecture and any interior decoration being dismissed. I’m being a sort of art nerd about it, not a church nerd.

Wait. Did tumblr delete the entire section where I rambled about churches made of boulders and gothic inspired interiors? At least the tags are still there

#emma posts #the church I went to as a kid did have cheap basement doughnuts too. besides potluck stuff #I admit the inside of the boulder church isn’t super exciting #but they have two stain glass windows and big vaulted ceilings #the kind with the sort of curved arch beams #again. I’m not even Christian anymore but I feel like the cool architecture and decor needs defending #I’ve been in enough boring church basements though #especially because that’s where my dance teacher could find a place to practice #but I refuse to call a building made of boulders boring #or the actual awesome looking interior of my mom’s childhood church #but yeah. I’ve been in a lot more boring churches than I have interesting ones #I think I went to a wedding in a replica stave church once #i don’t remember that well since I was a kid but I’ve been to that place since then #it’s like a half museum half does services of some kind on occasion setup #I have been in a lot of churches that made me think ‘this is literally just some building’#but not all were Protestant #gonna be honest. The brach of Protestantism does seem to have a correlation with which ones look boring and unwelcoming #as well as the age of the building. it seems like new churches around here aren’t even trying #again. this is me nerding about the aesthetic appeal of the buildings #I can ramble like this about schools too for example #and to an extent libraries #just public buildings #I’m reluctant to show actual pictures of the churches I’m talking about because I feel like it would reveal a lot about my location
