I shall say a prayer for you and your feline. Seriously though, some churches are absolutely gorgeous inside. Check it out sometime.

Belief is not a requirement for aesthetic appreciation. And thank fuck it's not

Ya seriously. So much money and time and artistry went into some of those things, they can be absolutely incredible
