I loved the daibutsu in Takaoka (Toyama)…in winter he would get a snowy afro which was very becoming!

The subject matter has a religious background but the interest does not usually stem directly from that. Plenty of non-religious people appreciate the architecture of old cathedrals or religious art for instance. And many sincere, devoted Christians could not be happier if they were never dragged to another old historical church or moldy old iconography exhibition again in their lives.

When someone is christian should I like looking at crosses? Meaning of this is not clear, I guess.
