Subject: Rare tour of a Mormon temple
Wasn't ACF having an argument over opulence and extravagant in the Mormon faith? Specifically as it referred to temples and the like? I can't find the thread but it was in the last few months iirc.

Video to a rare glimpse inside a new temple built in Kansas City. Mostly a narration and some still photos provided by the temple.

Interesting. Magic water and other 9th century thinking inside a modern 21st century office building. Your sacred Baptismal font looks like a jacuzzi but ok, I'll play along.

Mormons trace their origins to the visions that Joseph Smith reported having in the early 1820s while living in upstate New York.[16] In 1823 Smith said an angel directed him to a buried book written on golden plates containing the religious history of an ancient people.[17] Smith published what he said was a translation of these plates in March 1830 as the Book of Mormon, named after Mormon, the ancient prophet-historian who compiled the book, and on April 6, 1830, Smith founded the Church of Christ.[18]

At first I thought the baptismal tank was just over the top.
Then I noticed the Bull. Now it's looks strange.

There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the FORCE.
