But ok... Bangler.... Welcome, to the site..... *tries to smile but fails terribly than offers you a thumbs up instead.*

17th Angel:

.......Sometimes I wonder how you keep it up

My bag of jokes ran out long ago.....no marbles left.....I'd be interested to know where you get your marbles from.

Bangler:

With regards to boredom at mass or Sunday sermons........

Religion should not be about listening to speeches!!! It should be about people. Community. Churches shouldn't be lecture theatres. They should reflect life as we know it. They should be turned into restaurants, offices, kitchens, factories and lounge rooms. It's where people connect....talk....and work. We start living out the stuff in the whatever Text we've read. Religion comes to life. More learning. More education.

It's also why some Christians meet in house churches. Wiccans have their covens. Followers of Falun Gong meet out in the open to channel their qi-gong. Muslims pray five times a day in their own home. Buddhists and Yogis have their meditation. Quakers, they just meet somewhere. It's a matter of finding the right time and place.

But if we've been searching high and low and can't find a good time and place, maybe we just have to do it where we are. Maybe it's just our attitude. So maybe you just have to make the most out of the sermon -- not in the sense that you rely on the sermon itself, but that you rely on yourself more.

With me personally, I don't think I need any special sermons or worship styles. I reckon any church will do for me. It's not the church, it's me. The sermon is not the church. You are the church. We are the church.

Strange I have those saying I've lost my marbles... And then on the other hand those saying I keep finding marbles... Alas it is a confusing world....

Also just on a curious side... What part of that was a joke? ¬.¬

I just thought it was kind of ......sarcastic in a provocative sense -- where you're "having a go" at someone. Making fun of them in a friendly way.

Acting how you act.....going against the trend......not being confined in some kind of "box of conformity."......it wasn't just that post but a whole lot of others.

.......maybe you just weren't doing it on purpose......which is probably what makes it even more funny. Accidental comedian. It sounds much like what I've read (on Wikipedia) about the film Life of Brian. I guy named Brian who is born a few doors down from Jesus grows up, says a few random things and everyone thinks he's a Prophet......

You are washed clean from your old ways and have taken on a contract with your god saying this is what I believe is right, this is what I am going to do and here I stand before you ready to accept this... I think mucho mucho research and self searching should happen before making that kind of comittment.

He/she didn't say the baptism was boring, that might have been the most important, most enjoyable experience of their life. They just said mass was boring (isn't mass still in Latin - hell my Latin lessons sent me to sleep). If they are still in Latin, how could they not be boring, you can't even understand what is being said.

Muslimwoman...MALENESS ALERT!...MALENESS ALERT!

Your new and...shall I say alluring and, yes, smoldering (thanks Snoopy, the word works so well) avatar convinces me that I should buy lots of striped material, make a sizeable tent, rent a few camels, scatter a few dozen pillows around inside of it after I move to the Egyptian desert and erect it (sorry), and invite you over for some dates and sweet tea.

Would your husband mind d'ya think ? If he does you could even bring him along, at least the first few times.

flow....
