> i highly doubt a christian church has the same effect. everytime i see a church i think about atrocities commited by the religion and alienation
replyMaybe not the exact same effect as nature but it is indeed calming to me at least. Stepping into a cathedral, or masjid, or temple and the noise of the world falls away (and I'm not even religious). I'm sure I'm not the only one.
i'm also not religious and having lived in a remote place for more than a year, i lost count of the amount of times i sat at the grass in a completely meditative state by starring at clouds, mountains and sunsets
replyeverytime i see a church i think about atrocities commited
replyNot to downplay atrocities committed in the name of Christianity but I am pretty sure every large ideology has its share of of atrocities.
yes but when you have it talking basically exclusively about "love", it's much harder to swallow
replyMost ideologies have their keywords. Love, peace, freedom, fairness, ... and the atrocities keep coming.
