Church Break - silverstone

[Ron Jeremy]

There is a church break from 10.50 until 11.10 on Sunday

Will the Right Reverend Big H be delivering a sermon?

Could the sermon be titled:

“how to provide a weekends racing in cars similar to those you can buy for less than £20 - Mosley, Ecclestone et al take note”

[BigH]

Ron,
I'm starting to realize there are flocks to tend and souls to save everywhere, and the local clergy seemed to have eased off the gas a little round these parts. I'm sure the Lord would look kindly on some sort of productivity strategy.
I'd imagine there'll be some terrible sinners at Silverstone this weekend; terrible, terrible ones. I don't what to get into a demarcation dispute though, and to be honest, at this fledgling stage in my conversion, my ecclesiastical credentials may not stand up to close scrutiny.
I'll stick with wayward women hanging around in bars this weekend.
Praise the LORD! For he is omnipotent! (that means he's probably keeping an eye on your water pump, I think)
RRH

Clearly you are propelling yourself (with admirable gusto) towards self-enlightenment, but I don't feel you're quite there yet.  You see, I too have tried to walk the path of the Righteous and the Holy, and it used to bother me when I 'fell off' it. Until I realised that (and I'm guessing you may have a similar problem) I like sinning too much - which makes the whole repenting thing impossible if not somewhat hypocritical.

What led you to pick up the good book in the first place? Was the 'H' connection (as in Jesus' middle name) too big a calling to ignore? Maybe it means HareKrishna...

Keep us informed of your journey, wherever it takes you, and if you ever think you've got it right, you've probably gone mad!

You're spot on about this weekend though - there will be some terrible sinners about, but mostly at Le Mans. What's going on at Silverstone - anything good?

I hope I'm not being to personal here, and I don't want to put you off your conversion on the road to Domestos, but you started practicing your fervour here first!

I'm not sure you'll ever find the path to your God if you keep going at it like this. You're not cut out for it. You are, to my mind, a latent Nihilist. I don't believe aetheism or nihilism means you don't believe in any anything though. Believe me, as a fellow nihilist, I know the signs, and I've done a bit of research into the concept.

"To say 'there is no God' is not to express a proposition in a pre-established logical syntax, but to begin thinking again, in a way that is radically new, and therefore utterly experimental. It is obscurantism of the most tediously familiar kind to suggest that the 'nothing' of nihilism is an indissolubly theological concept. The nihil is not a concept at all, but rather immensity and fate. Nietzsche describes atheism as an open horizon, as a loss of inhibition. The 'a-' of atheism is privative only in the sense of a collapsing dam."

- from "The Thirst for Annihilation, Nick Land

I think I can see what Land's getting at, (except the bit about the collapsing dam). Reflect upon all the amusing co-incidences and incidents that have happenned to you when the nihilistic lash has come down and you might come to see Nietzsche as your guru. Personally, I don't really see how aspiring to wear a dog collar and chatting up choirboys in the vestibule will help anyone on the path of enlightenment. But each to his own I suppose.

Have you ever though of applying to join the League of Agnostics? They have a lovely tiepin and blazer badge.

[Ron Jeremy]

sorry, sorry, sorry i was actually refering to Sunday 15th August in the year of our lord 2004

then again, the all seeing eye would have known this.

 the road to domestos does the kill all known germans?

Temptation!
Get thee hence Satan! Our Lord J.H.Christ saith unto The Devil on the Mount (just down from the Slug and Lettuce, next to the station) " 'Leaveth here in a sharpish fashion and taketh thyself to an exceeding high mountain for a spot of solitude', whereupon after a bit, Jesus was ministered to with angels on account of his fortitude in the face of temptation, and tucked heartily into a bowl of Just Right, regretting his previous weaknesses and the general appalling quality of Sky's movie channels during the summer months" Roger v28:11

And don't go quoting philosophers at me, it just won't work. Remember, "there was nothing Neitzche couldn't teach ya, about the raising of the wrist". Besides any herbert can quite clearly see there is no bi-univocal correspondance between linear signifying links in the archi-writing of multi-dimensional nihilistic catalysis.

I think it was shortly after the last nihilistic lash came down that I started moving in very mysterious ways, how many pairs of shoes can a man own for chrissakes? (er, sorry mate).

 does temptation include the  water of life, i wonder?.
 I think you should bring ministry to France next june, There is a field that will be forever england , with a captive audience, some of whom are known to partake in the holy water.

[SteveZarse]

does temptation include the  water of life, i wonder?.

You mean 'aqua vita', Benjamin!

Hmmm...

...Skinner, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whisky every day...

Now that you've made us aware of your philosophical bent, I reckon you've been reading a bit of Blaise Pascal. His Gambit (otherwise known as Pascal's Wager) is really quite a clever idea, though somewhat flawed potentially. It does not allow for a God with a sense of humour, who may punish in hell the pseudo-pious (like you?) and reward in heaven the honest-to-God sinner (like me!).  I hope you haven't made the biggest mistake of your life with all this church business. You've gotten in too deep mate, next it'll be dientetics at L Ron Hubbards place in East Grinstead and from then on it's but a short step to bouncing off the padded walls under a full moon at Rampton Hospital.

[BigH]

Big Ron? East Grimstead?
Well, you live and learn. Hasn't he got his head pickled in a jar somewhere now. I know how he feels.

Two lollipops, little eyebrows, knocked in at the far post, clean cut young men on Tottenham Court Road, isn't it?

How on earth (or wherever he is now) did Hugh Chamberlain get him to sponsor a Spice? I could be wrong, was it 87 with the bright yellow car? - right on the pace as well if I remember correctly. The Lord God Almighty has missed a trick here, if you ask me. A bit of well placed sponsorship would soon have the pews full and the sound of 'Cumbaya' wafting out of the Michelin Grandstand.

I get confused with Pascal and his wagers and triangles and Occam with his razor. I'm sure there's a law that could combine all three just waiting to be found (and save NASA a few bob into the bargain). Mind you, I'm not surprised TLGA hasn't got around to racecar sponsorship yet, he's hasn't half got his work cut out manufacturing all those fossils...
Praise Be!
