My family all got together at the Garden Park ward for family photos and all I could think of is how big of shame that our churches are now all the same where ever you go. Even our temples (the mini temples) are turning cookie cutter.

The LDS Church... the McDonald's of churches

From another source, I understand that new fabrication techniques have reduce the price of solar panels to about 1/3 of standard prices. I also understand that they are so popular right now that the company that produces them can only fulfill bulk orders. I don't know if the church has access to these new cheaper panels.

One of the best things about being in Utah is seeing all of the cool old church buildings. Post like 60's meeting houses are for the most part pretty bland. I love finding older meeting houses in out of the way places. There is one in AF that has all sorts of stained glass and gables and nice brick work that a private citizen has bought and turned into a living workspace. The man makes organs there. I think it's really neat.

I honestly believe this. The meeting houses are a glimpse into a religion's soul. Religion for most of human history has been the source of all our great art, whether visual art, architecture, literature, music or even drama. Even today, religion is our artists' primary muse. Cormac McCarthy is an intensely religious author. The artists who endure seem to at least in an abstract and oblique way address religious themes. Personally, I think the LDS Church failed me aesthetically more than anything. The opera houses and museums are my temples. Mormon buildings are an abomination, an affront to God, as is anything written that the LDS Church generates these days.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
