A lot of wealth, art and effort is poured into Mosques, Temples and Cathedrals in order to prove their doctrines are real. I’ve walked around the ruins of many.
They are so beautiful even when their doctrines are long dead.

As with most temples, cathedrals and mosques, no expense has been spared. The ostentatious extravagance fulfils the need to demonstrate that it must be true; if it wasn’t who would go to such extremes??
All the wealth is poured into religious buildings.
For me, they are a delight. The best of architecture and craftsmanship can be found in them. They are so aesthetically pleasing if, at times, a little OTT.
