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.
