Chapel of the Snows, the only protestant/catholic church on the continent. The protestant chaplains are provided by the US Air National Guard and the Catholic priests are provided by the Diocese of Christchurch. It was destroyed in 1978 by a fire (second pic) and rebuilt in 1989.

Shitty art style, angle, and lighting

Nothing beats a good Stave Church.

Except a fireproof stone church

I think it was also built (both photos in his post) during a very bad flirtation the church had with modern design ideas during the middle of the last century.

See pic attached for something nicer to look at.

Too pagan. Even the shape of the window references a pagan symbol.

Everything turns to dust eventually.


user, the trinity is not pagan.

I've never seen three triangles be used to represent the trinity like that, only germanic paganism. And the roof peak decorations seem to be referencing the stern of viking longboats.

Where are you even seeing that?

And what is unchristian about that?

Attached: Saint_Olaf's_chapel_(stave_church).JPG (1600x1200, 1.12M)

Inside the main window are three triangles. The image is blurry, but it's pretty easy to see if you enlarge it.

Because it was historically used by pagans that raided and terrorized rural northern-european Christians?

Oooow, spooky pagan geometry.

So were many other symbols which have been redeemed by Christianity.
Even in scripture the Holy Ghost uses many of the same symbols which the pagans used, like the Ark of the Covenant which was redeemed from Egyptian ritual craftsmanship.

Here are some screenshots of the Wikipedia entry for you sir.

Are you trying to prove that a circle has more than one center, or can't you see that the figure you're looking at is constructed by dividing an equilateral triangle into four smaller equilateral triangles and then drawing circles which circumscribe them?

Serbs built an underwater church, that's pretty impressive.

Attached: gracanica-valjevo-2.jpg (830x470, 133.68K)

Also Serbs used to build churches without using mortar, simply making bricks that tie together by weight. This way the church could be taken apart and turned into two barns, or loaded onto carts and sent away.

Turks would burn churches if they could find them, but Serbs always either moved the church or hid it in come cave or in some wooded area so the bell wouldn't sound far.

Thats cool, got any further reading on lego Churches?

What denomination are you?
This is a slippery slope. What gives Christianity it's validity from the common accepted idea that it's just a copy from ancient paganism is how it sets itself apart form it. There are instances where other sects steal Christina symbolism (like the freemasons and the checkers from Solomon's temple) that can have it's origin traced, and taking it back would actually be redeeming.

You have no right to judge whether Christ has redeemed a man based on his national origin, or whether his community gives enough of a pooh to make a nice building.
It sounds to me like you may be the Larper friendo.

Not in English. I could dig some texts up, find someone to translate, but it would be a multi-year effort.
They also built churches to fire code before fire codes were a thing, it's why they use so many metals in their paints. A turk could set their church on fire and only a few wooden things would burn orthodox don't have pews because its rude to sit in the house of the lord


They actually have paratrooper priests too, which jump out of airplanes in priestly garb. Some are armed with PP2000 submachine guns, but that's just being phased in.

Did satan first conceive of the triangle, or did God?

Baptist
Then it was the Holy Ghost who put us on it.
