Pagan Idolatry

This post may jeopardize my standing in the afterlife. I was in the Pantheon yesterday. I have been in Jewish temples, Christian churches, and more. I was never so awestruck as I was by the mystical power that radiated from the interior of this polythestic shrine to the Goddesses and Gods of antiquity. Though it was converted to a Christian church sometime between the fall of the Empire and the Middle Ages (which explains its survival), I don't buy it. The vibe I felt was like nothing I've ever experienced in a monotheistic place of worship.

The photo is of the interior of the roof.

Yay Paganism!
Great to hear about the experience, darlin'. Of course, you know I'm not biased toward polythestic worship or anything (hah!). Vive Higher Power!
