Almost everything in America is butt ugly. The cities, the suburbs, the small towns that have fallen on bad times. Most of the entertainment, a hefty chunk of the obese people, all the tats and piercings. Clothes, modern cars, modern Protestant churches... The wilderness is lovely though. Older buildings tend to be pretty. Not nostalgia if the past really was better.
They look like office buildings. I miss the old white churches and pointed Victorian style churches. And yeah, the Catholics and Orthodoxy have beautiful churches.

Protestant here. I agree the "form follows function" view has resulted in extremely bland church interiors, including my own.
I admit it--Catholic and Orthodox church buildings have vastly more beautiful aesthetics. I respect that.
