@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:14 AM) I miss being in a choir. I was a choirgirl throughout my school years, up until I reached 16-17 or so.
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:14 AM) i am glad the gay marriage issue here is tipping over to 'of course'  I'm a romantic. if people love each other and want to committ they should be
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:12 AM) heh, last choir I was in was run by my grandfather (only about a dozen people)
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:11 AM) ah, I consider myself a deist or agnostic.  There may be a Maker, but religion gets corrpted to easily
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:11 AM) Best part: choir's director is openly gay.
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:10 AM) I'm not practicing Catholic anymore (I define myself as atheist), but I really love my original parish's Christmas service. We have one awesome choir.
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:09 AM) ooh hot choc chip cookie nom nom
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:08 AM) I loved Bach's "Honor and Glory" that we sang in school... I still ahve it more than half memorized 30+ years later
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:06 AM) Definitely.
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:05 AM) i think talking on the phones while at a dinner party or special event or... it's rude to interrupt people you're with, constantly
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:04 AM) this prayer was in homeroom, no choice or way to avoid. christian music can be gorgeous to sing (I'm not practicing anymore)
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:04 AM) I know, same. I went to Japan, I adapted to their life. I've learned that talking on the phone on trains isn't polite, while no one cares here. So I just didn't do it, and I was totally fine with it.
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:02 AM) If I moved to Japan or South Africa, I would not expect them to change their courts. it was my choice to move there
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 06:02 AM) I was practicing Catholic; we had prayer in school, BUT people who weren't, simply didn't observe it, and that was it. I remember, there was a girl in my class who wasn't Catholic; instead of getting a religion class, she had Ethics. And no one saw it as "wrong" or "bad." Another girl sang in the church's choir... and she wasn't Catholic either.
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 06:00 AM) ... and on that note, it was interesting that pope Francis said athiests can be saved too... interesting shift
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 05:59 AM) I'd rather have none than have one antithetical shoved down my throat
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 05:58 AM) my public school briefly had school prayer which i hated because it was right ring protestant (andI was practising catholic)
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 05:57 AM) what they don't get is that much of the ideas and opportunity comes from the multiculturism
@  Anesor : (26 May 2013 - 05:56 AM) I just can't believe the Sharia has courts in England... that can't be anything like common law that ours is based on.  Separate but wqual is a recipe for disastee whetehr for blacks here in the 40's or englan now
@  Windrider Shiva : (26 May 2013 - 05:56 AM) And then it sparks internal dialogue whether a prayer should be recited before municipal meetings ("it's a tradition" vs. "it's a religious thing.")
