Is it just me or do religious leaders have such dreadful taste in architecture. Is this monstrosity supposed to defy gravity and "funnel" worshippers up into heaven in the Rapture with that upside down funnel?

Looks somewhat like Space Mountain at Disneyland.

...and whatever the hell this is:

If it catches fire, just let it go. It's what God wants.

Basically... yes. Also, this thing is really fucking pointy.

The old Georgia Archives building:

It looks even more imposing and evil in real life.

Made by the Borg?

Who ever thought of building a giant penis in the middle of Barcelona?

I first thought of 'giant bullet'. It smoothly looks very aggressive. If that was the aim, well done.

Wonder what Freud would have said about a correlation between the penis and bullets?

Hey, yeah. I do kind of see it.

The second one would make a very nice incinerator.

A giant bullet crossed my mind too as well as a giant thimble. However even if it were built as closely as possible to a human penis complete with bell shaped glans and scrotum shaped structures at is base, it would not come close IMHO to the Abraj al Bait for ugliness. To add insult to injury they demolished a historically significant Ottoman fortress and other historic buildings to construct it.

Looks like the Saudis got their inspiration from the Stalinist architecture:

Culture Palace - Warsaw:

Moscow University:

And you can always count on the good 'ole commies to create some architectural abominations:

ITAR/TASS Building, Moscow:

Hotel Rossyia, Moscow (this abomination has been demolished in 2007, luckily):

Hotel "Uzbekistan", Tashkent (this one still exists, unfortunately):
