Cathedral of Christ the Light

Oakland California's Cathedral of Christ the Light...Not really ugly imo, just different.

The inside looks like Noah's ark:

Cathedral of Christ the Light

But the place where the priest sits is pretty ugly...RCR says it looks like where the Politburo would sit....

Mariakirken in Våler, Norway...Roman Catholic.

I don't think this is too bad...it is unique and looks like it fits the environment.

RCR says it looks like hippies designed it.

Not just churches. This is the Beth Shalom Synagogue in Elkins Park, PA, a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
