davidnGyah hah, I saw the most rubbish thing ever on TV last Saturday. It was some sort of American teen program... something like the Power Rangers, but in ancient Greece. Yes, quite. The characters said "Oh, my Zeus" instead of "Oh, my God". Clever, eh?
Most of Sunday was spent at a recording studio in the middle of nowhere, listening to my brother record the first song with the band "Deep Fried Funk" (yes, I know it's a silly name but so is Kamelot). It was rather good, in fact, but not really my favourite genre. Took about five hours, which apparently is a good time for recording a three and a half minute song. I was reading Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" during the practice, but I found it marginally more difficult to understand than the recording equipment, which resembled something from the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise.
Afterwards, we went to the chippy for my first real meal of the day. The band leader's brother turned up and oiled his bike with the chips.
I had just got back when I got a phone call from Philip, and went next door (almost literally) to the Kintore Arms where the people from Ventures were having a get-together. That was a rather good evening, especially seeing Craig again, who took the time to rant about how rubbish the people on his course are. After a conversation with an insane Mediterranean kebab shop owner, I finally got home and wrote all this nonsense, but kept the word count down for a change.
I was asked to remove my Quit message as soon as I got online. Fair enough, I can see how they could be interpreted as "preachy", but I just want to point out here thatthey were Kamelot lyrics and not a deliberate attempt on my part - I don't want the whole thing starting all over again. I'll think of something else later, probably from "Atlantis Falling" again. That was a good one.

Date: 2003-09-08 04:45 am (UTC)Although, frankly it seems silly that we even needed to discuss it - it's an exit message, not a forced conversion.

Date: 2003-09-08 07:43 am (UTC)At the end of the day, why should Dave (or Niall, or anyone) appease your desire to change their exit message? I think it's one thing to have a discussion about faith and religion but quite another to badger someone into feeling that they have to change their exit message and for the record - people can (within reason) have whatever exit messages they want in #TheSinner.
As someone apparently experienced in doing so - I'd say you overstepped the mark here.

Even if you did mean it as a religious statement in its own right (which I do realize is not the case) I would consider it oppression of your religious freedom to not let you make that assertion of faith, and I would defend that as strongly as I would defend my own right to hold no religious beliefs.
Although that being said, I'm sure we all realize Paul and Kim meant no ill will.
