Organized Religion and their church

Being an Atheist, it doesn’t mean that I won’t be interested in looking at churches. Earlier, Samantha and I was talking about religion so while we’re at it, I searched Second Life for churches and here’s one of the best that I found.

Cardenale by Cardinal Sin

No, it’s impossible that he’s Jaime "Cardinal" Sin but I am very sure that the owner of the SL church knows him.

Anyway, I did not visit the church because I want to pray or something, I wanted to know if they can imitate the architecture of the real life churches. Cathedrals are also popular because of their magnificent architectural design and in Second Life, the churches are not as great as their real counterpart but they’re still worth the visit.

The paintings on the walls are also great. The guy really did a good research on this one. If you’ll also look at the cross and the windows, wow! they are really impressive.

This is beautiful! I'm definitely going to check these churches out.. I've been exploring around SL looking just at the architecture too, especially gothic looking churches. Some of the more common places seem to be very medieval styled-buildings and even some castles. The work this guy did here though looks fantastic.

Wow, the architecture is beautiful! I especially love the way the light comes in through the windows and illuminates the pews The second picture reminds me of this really gorgeous old monastery I saw in Spain. The tapestry is really familiar...is that a famous painting or something?

I've been into some muslim SL churches, and walked around some creepy ones, the people attending there told me that they use to have ceremonies, pray and all that stuff. I was like.. -what? for real?

So, that's why I'm never in the mood to check out churches that might look like hosts of weird cults.

Wow. A beatiful catheral with such details. The builder behind this must have taken a lot of time and effort to do so. Thumbs up to him!

That is really fascinating, the stained glass has great detailing. I am beginning to 'get' second life it think.

It just go to show some people effort in the game, even it is just a game.

Wow. That's simply amazing. I wish I had the time or the ability to do something like that. All I can accomplish is a stick man on paper, let alone a beautiful church in SL. Great find.

Maybe you could do some great photographs and post it on a blog. I think that is wonderful too.

I know when I think Second Life, I don't necessarily think belief systems and their monuments. They are not a 'hot commodity', at least by themselves. However, if you search around medieval or fantasy sims with castles, sometimes you find some nice niches of faith. Also, wedding chapels can have quite grand appearances, too.

(Yes, I'm back. I had a rough time and a vacation, and I hope people respect that.)

I have found a few buddhist temple and shinto temples around in the various sims. They do look great although architecturally, they are not as maginificant as the church (manybe due to their belief). I am looking for a mosque though. Anyone can point me to one?
