but, i don't think the people that are bombing the mosques are particularly religious. 

You sure about that?

That comment is soo stupid.

It's like me saying: "Well, that person was too nice to have been religious. No, she wasn't a Christian. She was way too caring and compassionate."

Yeh, and the policeman in my hometown who massacred his wife and 2 young children could not have been a Christian.

But he was

so, as i take it - our prayers for others for their salvation would start by unbinding them from the deception around us in the world.  that music is often composed with a very real message (sometimes inspiration) from satan.


What music is this?

Recently I played Alkan's "Les diablotins" (little devils) in a church. Was that naughty of me?   ;D

doesn't your church have some kind of musical standards?  playing the devil's music in church.  shame shame.  (secretly kind of wonders if this would provoke any sort of reaction at all excepting in rondes les sylphes - knowing full well he could get points taken off by God for this).

a) it wasn't "my" church, I was invited to play there. Just as well I didn't do the Mephisto Waltz also, clearly.

b) I'm sure that, assuming God exists, he has a rather better sense of humour than you think.

there are some medival churches that scare me just looking at them.  forget what music is being played.  i'm glad your standards would put the line at mephisto waltz.  perhaps God will consider imps nothing to worry about.  mephisto is the real thing.  i mean the devil himself.

Me too, especially Canterbury Cathedral where you can stand on the spot where Thomas a Becket got his head cut off.


Some chuches are very creepy.

interesting that thomas becket took in henry's son and raised him better than his own father - and then, henry goes and does the head chop on becket when he doesn't get complete devotion with monetary rewards from the church.  kings can be so arbitrary.

?  and i have theories!  that one's a classic.  'cos she's the devil.'  oh.  yes. everyone believes you fiddes.  i think your name spelled backwards is 'fibbs' and you're the devil - but you are lying.  who can know it but you?  excepting me.  i figured you out.

for one thing - if she was the devil - what was she doing in church?  it sounds like you wanted an excuse to leave.  that's classic, too.  'my wife's a devil.  we have to leave.'

i've dealt with this before.  basically my son has used every excuse in the book not to go to church or school.  he doesn't go to church anymore - but he does go to school.

i'm just teasing you.  but, if she gets dizzy - it might not be the devil so much as just feeling pressure.  perhaps what you two need is an outdoor wedding.  you know, pick everyone that you feel comfortable around and just have a small one.  you could even pick the minister - and pick someone that will say whatever vows that you two have made up for each other.  i think the vows are somewhat guidelines - but i've heard some very beautiful vows that people have written for each other - so things don't always have to be set in stone.  i think whatever two people vow to each other - should be things that they completely agree to vow to.  the kiss is probably what's on their mind anyways.  practicing that is probably done more than the vows.

but i've heard some very beautiful vows that people have written for each other

I like the vows that were made for Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon.

"Until death do us part or until i tire of her and decide to have her blasted into atoms".

Should be standard in all weddings.
