Jew here. Is it true that Catholic churches are all fancy and golden and Protestant churches are smaller and minimalist?

That's how it used to be, but since Vatican II Catholic churches have been as bland as Methodist churches. Episcopalian/Anglican and Lutheran churches are fancier nowadays.
If you want gold and art go to an Orthodox church.

Genesis 3:8
Psalm 89:10,13
Exodus 33:18-23
Genesis 8:21
Leviticus 1:9

No not necessarily, some of those are decorated with gold looted from the Americas. But yeah if it's gonna have gold flaked reliefs it'll be Catholic.

>talks about new testament
>posts verses from the old testament
What did he mean by this?

He meant he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about and he was hoping we wouldn't notice.

are you retarded? aesthetics is the study and appreciation of beauty. that's one of the standard definitions and its the most common way its used on Veeky Forums. he's perfectly fine using the word as he does, because aesthetic is based on subjective opinion

Join the papists, friendo. We have styrofoam eucharist wafers and some of our churches even offer a gluten free option if you have celiac disease! Our mr. big hat was once a bouncer. You may want to keep your children away from the rest of the leaders though.

The Messiah has RISEN!!!!!!!

hereI meant to say Old Testament because that's what the now deleted post was referring to. My bad.

It's the nature of visual design, be it natural or man made, and the appreciation thereof.
>and its the most common way its used on Veeky Forums
And this is the problem, it's like when some dumbass on here calls something a "meme."
It literally has no meaning because the word is so obtusely misued. Veeky Forums has the aesthetic of a psych ward where the patients are allowed to smear their own shit on the walls and get away with it for days. In that sentence, using it correctly, it is not a synonym for beauty you fucking tards.

Pro-tip: the meaning of words evolves over time.

Pro-tip: Misusing a nuanced word that has no synonym because you don't actually know the definition isn't an "evolution." It's you being retarded.

this looks zoroastrian as fuck

Still not the meaning of Low Church and High Church.

>meme
it has come to mean "a joke" or "something that can't be taken seriously". When you say "x is a meme" it also can mean its too normie. as says words evolve

>It's the nature of visual design
thats when you use it as a noun. "baroque aesthetic"

>it is not a synonym for beauty you fucking tards.
yes it is, sweetie. see pic related

we weren't talking about that. we were talking about the meaning of aesthetic. but, if we must, yes, low church and high church was a originally applied to anglicanism, with the low church being more populist, accessible and focused on mobilization and preaching (methodists, for example) while the high church being hierarchical, elitist, establishmentarian and crypto catholic essentially (muh mysteries and aesthetic rituals)

is that the church in Dachau?

It's a nuanced adjective as well you chud. You wouldn't see a cute dog on the street and go, "Ayo dat pupper is aesthetic as fuck yo!"

By your definition, you and your understanding of English is a meme, because you're a fucking joke. To see the day where newfags will defend
>is X a meme?
shitposting... I don't even know what to say other than please fuck off.

You could always go inside one and check. Not like you'll burst into flames.

Nah it's Japanese, didn't realize it wasn't Catholic though.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Light

Two other similar structures are St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo and the Church of the Seed in Huizhou, Guangdong, China.

>implying the majority of people opting for gluten free actually have celiac disease

>"Ayo dat pupper is aesthetic as fuck yo!"
in popular Veeky Forums usage, you can.

>you and your understanding of English is a meme,
where do you think you are? we are in memeland

>is X a meme?
it's shitposting, but shitposting is ubiquitous around here so it should still be taken serious

gluten is the biggest meme of our times. fuck health food fads

You're a faggot who wants to bastardize English and make us all retarded for it, we get it. Move on.

PS the altar wall is actually a secret door that opens to let a mecha lift off.

>You're a faggot who wants to bastardize English
I don't give a shit what happens to the language. I'm simply telling you how people use words. You'd fit right in with an autistic byzantine monk trying to write in stilted 4th century bc attic greek despite 1000 years of language evolution having made it a hopeless task.

More like some cave-dwelling troglodyte simplified words for his retarded clan to use in their echochamber and then people called them retarded when they made their oddly humanistic-sounding clicks and grumbles before just writing them off as simpletons.

Basically, suck my gigantic micropenis ya soyboy bugman chucklecuck.

I don't actually go to church, but my grandpa who has celiac does. They made him bring a doctor's note before giving him a card to bring with him every time he goes to get his fancy Eucharist. This is in a miniscule town in WI so I'm not sure other places do it or if they're just weird.

Eh, if you have celiac it can fuck you up some, but if you don't it literally doesn't matter.

It is forbidden to step in an idolaters house, an affront to Hashem, so how would I know that brother?

why did you just call him a bundle of sticks?

On this board the Catholics will feed you bullshit about the Protestants, the Protestants will feed you bullshit about the Catholics and you will end up learning less than nothing.

& Humanities was a mistake.

Only true for the Reformed, and did you ever or talk to a Reformed? They all seem like their dead inside.

Yiddish or Hebrew?

It depends on plenty of factors
For both denominations:
>where it was built
>who built it and how much they invested in it
>how long it took to build
>what the architectural style of the time was
>whether it was remodeled/destroyed & rebuilt/restored at some point
>whether it was originally another building before becoming a Church
>whether the denomination who built it were the majority/promoted denomination in that place and time
For Catholics
>whether it was built pre- or post-Vatican II
>whether it was remodeled since Vatican II
>whether it's able to be used for Tridentine Mass as well as vernacular
For Protestants:
>whether their denomination prohibits icons, paintings, and crucifixes in the church
>whether the church was originally built as a Catholic one and converted
>whether the converted church was remodeled after conversion
>whether the denomination went through a wave of iconoclasm they've since left
I could easily show you examples of Catholic churches that look like boring modernist boxes and Protestant churches that look like super-ornate cathedrals.

Case in point: pic related is a Catholic church

and pic related is Protestant

One had 5+ consecutive generations working on one building. The other probably had help being built by the pastor himself over the course varying a few months to.a few years.

Of course there are general exceptions like and but the Catholic Church had way more peasantry, time, and capital to spend.

few people have celiac disease. hence why i call it a meme

Stop being jewish.

Check out Megachurches if you want to see Catholic churches btfo.

The major Catholic churches are generally large and elaborate, and the major Protestant churches are generally less ornate and elaborate. There are exceptions though, especially with local churches.

Anglicanism is Catholicism without the Pope

visiting Russian orthodox church will make you go full bolshevik\Varg mode
>Jesus WANTS us to worship him in gold covered buildings with thousands of his images looking from every wall and even ceiling

Why wouldn't he? The ark of the covenant was trimmed with gold.

By now both are barren of all gold and marble, only the Orthodoxy has great churches anymore.
