I pray in my bed at night. It doesn't cost a dime.

And it doesn't create grand cathedrals, but it works.

Religion can be mentally beautiful, and physically expensive.

No use here for brick and mortar prayer.

But still...

There's nothing like walking into a work of art that makes you feel small...

Religion has given us horrible depths and wonderous highs, including great works of art.

I thought I would start a thread to celebrate that art - be it music, archetecture or artwork.

I'm starting with Islam. One of the graduate students in our program comes from Isfahan, Iran. Iran is something the popular media prefers to portray as grim...yet, in it is also a treasure trove of great beauty dedicated to God...it is difficult to believe human beings created these works.

If there was peace between our countries, I would have wanted to travel and see all those places.

This is pure beauty!

The Basilica of St. Mary in Washington D.C.

It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. But you have to try really hard to ignore the blonde haired blue eyed Jesus that's staring down at everyone.

What is wrong with you that everything, even art, is about race? Should the state dictate the representation of God on earth?

Never mind, I know what your answer is.
