I CAN HEAR JESUS SAYIN' FATHER FORGIVE

i like the black & white and "clean" aesthetic of nun coords, so i think a lot of them look lovely. the main religion in my country is catholicism, but everyone in my family has been agnostic or atheist for generations and i have no religious close friends, so i don't have a strong reaction to the symbolism, either positive or negative.

i'm kind of like >>8769385, when a religious piece have artistic value to me, i can enjoy it and appreciate the intent of whoever made it, even if i don't share their faith. if it doesn't have that artistic value though, it's just a symbol and i wouldn't associate with it, because it isn't representative of my own belief and i also still tend to associate most religions with negative things like obscurantism and close-mindedness.

so while i can appreciate them on other people, i wouldn't wear crosses or a rosary myself, but a stained glass print or one of a madonna painting by a classical artist would be perfectly ok. i guess it's a bit weird...
