LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD:
It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

Further delving in the weirdness of Morbid Angel
I'm playing in a death metal band as well (I've mainly played doom/sludge/psych since I returned to music in 2011) so reacquainting myself with genre history. The band I'm in will probably be Autopsy/Asphyx type stuff though.

Wait until people discover Bhakti poetry.
Oh fuck yeah, as much as many denominations try to deny it, Christianity is a very horny religion. The saints look like that for a reason, y’all, they were in the ecstasy of the divine.
i get the joke but think people underestimate the number of Christians who want to have sex with Jesus
like, this is a venerable tradition! all the way back through the Middle Ages!
