Yeah a a decaying corps give off a much better vibe.
Then again Peter died on an upside down cross, so how that became an anti-Christian thing I have no idea.
History and people are strange and not logical.
Also all I know is that my area reminds me of a modern day version of the towns from the book series that started with Little House in the big Woods, so I always compare it to the 1800s. At least it feels that way when the phones stops working for days at a time:)
