Do you have to sign up to download the songs? My head will explode if I have to sign up to another music site.
Oh, thanks, yeah me and another guitarist. We would trade off on parts and harmonize and things. I'm not sure if you have to sign up, try it out if not I can email you some mp3's if you like.

From ornamented altars tease old pulpit masters steeped in lore.
Of dull and ancient doctrine these, with fear and guilt their stock and store.

or


Nostalgia's song, my soul begets long thoughts of yesterday's regrets.
And looking back with calm repose.
Too much of these, too few of those.

I often think at what the cost,
of choices made and chances lost.

So think alas what you might miss,
if you do that, instead of this.

or

Bare words do not a poem make,
nor moments spent, a life compose.
But rather in arrangement take
the meaning we propose.

Eternity, unbounded, vast.
A future beyond time.
Unto an unseen fate we cast,
as with an unknown God recline.

Reminds me of New Zealand. Very nice.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
