"My hands are more firmly pressed together prayer than yours!: I can bow my head lower and longer in prayer than you!"? Have you been reading from my religious book? You know that that's exactly where I stand on the thing. Though, to be fair, the Huddersfield Christians were quite quiet about the whole thing. A cross carrying thing on Friday, a guy burning a little too much wood today. Nothing nasty.

... and what "religious book" might that be then, eh? Re: Re: Re: Religiosity... by Kid. on 2002-04-01 13:45:28  |  Reply to this   If I had my way, it'd be the 23 parts of the dead sea scrolls. Cut apart with modified medical equipment, dontcha know! (Too fragile to unravel it, see?)

P.S. you don't need "medical equipment" to do this work -- they have actual library tools for this!

Imagine the holding of history in your very hands! The closest the normal person can get to doing that is by buying the most enpesive antique &/or work of art they can find, and treasuring it. But a text, not only do you have the actual chemical substances; the ink, the paper, the dust and all that comes with it, but you also get the language and face. Words, pictures, sometimes the two together. Now that's the dream. Some Scotland Yard dossiers from 1800s. If only there hadn't been the I.R.A. bombing, the gross incompetancy, everything....I don't know. Erm.... by Kid..... on 2002-04-03 03:30:44  |  Reply to this   ...the alleged I.R.A. bombing...
