My opinions are probably set by the samples of Baptist and Lutheran that I have met.


Baptist: partyline, but she had nice legs and a nice personality, except for being unable to have her own opinions where it conflicted with the propaganda to which she had been subjected.

Lutheran:

1)I married into a family that has a large Lutheran component, including several ministers. I once attended some ritual of the Lutheran church for a child at age 14 or so and heard the minister say that God allows children to get hurt to teach the adults a lesson.

Not for this little black duck.

My wife had to restrain me to stop me getting up and walking out. It was ten years or more before I went into that church again and that was for my sister in law's funeral. The minister was her brother in law so we didn't get any crap like that again.

2) A friend of mine is a medico. He has always wanted to be one, and at age of seven or so he began to ask his parents where you contracted 'origin sin'? Was it something in the birth canal, or in the placenta?

Not being given sensible answers he decided that medical science was something he could believe in and began to reject the notions of organised religion. Which he said served him well when he worked as a medico in the island to the north east of New Guinea.



I am a devout coward.

Beautiful, OC!

Robert: I feel less worried about my exorcism, now that someone I e-associate with has been declared the devil. May I please have a little corner of the netherworlds for a small garden? Come my time, I mean.

OC: that is probably fairly accurate.... Except for the last bit. :P

Love it OC. My roommate died when I read that to her.

Committing fforum blasphemy and getting back to the original topic, though, themoviebox.net has some clips and trailers out that people may not have seen. You should check 'em out if you haven't yet.

I am so not in touch with the myspace thing. I actually looked around on your last post for a link for "space." *sobs* I don't understand you young people and your hip lingo!

Wow, it's been a while since I've been accused of being young & hip-
probably sometime before I stopped saying "groovy"...

Don't worry, there are plenty of elders in 'Space-
the youngsters are on Facebook, or so I hear...

BK,

When you get a little corner of roberts corner of hell what are you going to grow?

I can think of red hot pokers, a flame tree, and littel else.

Any other suggestions for the verdant corner of hell?

Can we visit?

Of course you can!

I was thinking I'd grow rhododendrons... Even hellfire and brimstone couldn't kill them!

Water lilies would be more useful.
