Making love to your bible is obscene, beyond the idolization of the book itself. I didn't watch long enough to see if he gave the book his tongue or if he kept his hands on the book only. ![[Projectile]](graemlins/puke2.gif)

If taste is a fair arbiter of religion, all your faiths are a joke.
It's the same difference that exists between Shakespeare and Mills & Boon. It may be sincere but that doesn't mean it's not syrupy tasteless cack.

I agree. Sincere but loopy, so I have some sympathy with what Yorick is asking.
When he says he sleeps with his bible, I think he just means that he sleeps with it under his pillow or something. I've come across people who have done that when they're going through a tough time, as a kind of comfort.
I'm trying not to picture the alternative if I'm wrong about that...
"Stroke it, kiss it, rub it on your face" is really catchy. I'm sure they could use it in an advert for... something... not sure what though.

That was likely the point of the thread.
Or perhaps he felt bad about it and wanted his fan club to help him feel better about it. (You know - as long as people think it's okay it must be okay).
Or perhaps he decided Hell was boring these days and thought he'd post something stupid to see how many stupid people would respond.

The way things are going, we're going to have to post an 11th Commandment soon: thou shalt not post utterly pointless shit in Hell just because you're bored.
Since when did the Ship become the only source of excitement for you people anyway? Can't you go play in traffic or something? Teach lambada at the local nursing home? Become a graffiti artist? Perfect your juggling?

Gah, even the Archbishop of Canterbury has a sense of humour. We need priests who can see the funny side of life - God help us all if Christianity means we can't laugh at a puerile joke once in a while.
Even in Lent.
Perhaps especially in Lent.

Yeah, because Pyx_e really cares about what other SOF posters think, and can't live without the approbation of people like you and me. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

No they call "them" "other". You need to catch up with your Post-Colonial branch of Post-modernism.

We Are Not The Twits. Keep your twitting hashtag thingies for the mothertwitting social twitting media twitsites.
(the following is directed to all hashtagging twits, not just evensong)
drives me fucking nuts. you want to say something, say it. don't remove all spaces and render every fucking thought down to a little nugget of cliche. We don't talk like that. and whenever I see it, I imagine some nitwit blurting it all out in one word like the verbal equivalent of a giant, rude belch. Save it for fellow like-minded belchers and when you're around real fucking humans pretend you're older than a kindergardener and USE YOUR WORDS!
