Wait did they literally build a fkin fort-church on the beach?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 85 points 2 years ago

They built all those buildings on an island of granite rock, not just on sand. But yeah, it's still took a massive amount of terraforming to make this work.

I love how you take issue with this, but the skull hole burning is fine.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, the angel skull hole burning didn't really happen... Probably.

Doesn't prove much considering most catholic relics are fabricated.

It's insane in person. 100% worth visiting if you're ever considering going to France

If you read the stories of cultures & religions that came before Christianity, you’ll realize the Christian stories are straight up boring.

It got built but it can still be considered a fat middle finger.

When that thing was built, it was probably in between nowhere and who knows. Getting there would not be a leisurely travel.

In true British style, trying not to be outdone by the French, we built our own on the other side of the English Channel, and no one got a hole burnt in their heads nor nuffin else like that.
