I can feel both but the latter is the one that matters - outrage at violence against peaceful ppl, The former is an aesthetic thing.https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/927294670371045376 …

I call your attention, paradoxically, to Larkin's, Church Going, for what is more than aesthetic & which is never obsolete, or so I think.

But this is what I mean by the aesthetic of churches. The atmosphere. The feel of them.

Afraid you'd think that. He starts there, but then doesn't it shift to the deeper, essential resonance of purpose & connectedness?

Not proselytizing, just quibbling w/ the seemingly dismissive, "aesthetic thing." Partial to churches - like to see them get their due:)

I just mean that the pleasure taken in a church is not as important as the ethical thing of people being killed in it.

We can quibble on the word 'aesthetic' to describe the pleasure & meaning church buildings have for people tho if you like! :)
