I love cathedrals...and I hate cathedrals. I recently pointed out pagan...and even satanic...aspects of the symbology and services at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine...to people who attend there. We had a brief and friendly debate. I LOVE the acoustics and the recently renovated pipe organ(which was damaged by a fire shortly after 9/11) at this cathedral. If I attended a church...it would probably be an Episcopal church. I just wish they could get rid of all the creepy stuff! A major study of all the major churches and government buildings throughout the world...regarding symbology and depictions would be very, very interesting. I have seen the smoke...but I think there is plenty of fire as well. I continue to believe that Lucifer is the God of This World...and controls governments, religions...and even the architecture of many government and religious buildings. I speculate a lot...and I admit it...but I don't expect those who really know to blurt out a lot of this sort of thing. I have found gargoyles to be very creepy. In one church(I can't remember which) there is a figure called the 'domschratt' which is a demon blowing a whistle or pipe of some kind.
I copied it out of the book I found it in. I think it was in Germany. Washington D.C. is a case-study in occult symbology. All of this needs to become common knowledge...without any finger pointing or hatred. It is simply a dark part of our history...which seems to consist of more shadows than sunshine.
