Wall Street.
Nike found it an ironic setting for a church.
Not very far off, you had the New York Stock Exchange, where people bargained for material good, wealth, things that she figured the Christians weren't supposed to care much about. But what in this world wasn't contradicting anymore? Even the Christians and their worship seemed conflicting now and then. After conversing with Bia on the topic of the Christian's faith, Nike did some research on her own, browsing through the text called "Bible".
The things she didn't see in book that differed greatly from that of the myths was the consumption of offspring or the birth of a child through a splitting headache. There were probably more, but it still pretty much had the same violence in it that the Greeks had.
It was the curiosity of this pantheon that had Nike taking up Bia's offer to come to "church" and witness what it was that the Christians had that they didn't. How the mortals seemed to worship and sacrifice to their own guardians without slitting the throat of a lamb.
Wearing what she thought appropriate, Nike entered the church and found a long pew to sit in, waiting for her brother and sister to arrive. In the meantime, she quietly observed the almost-grotesque looking statue of the dying Jesus Christ behind the alter. She wondered who had it worse, Prometheus on the rock with his liver constantly torn out or this unfortunate Prince with the crown of thorns?
