Music Monday - Hark, hark!
Today Christmas music! What else?
In celebration of all the crazy families out there, trying to hold it together for the holidays.
And finally "The Mother of All Christmas Songs".
Tomorrow will be Shane MacGowan´s 61st birthday.
Who would have thought he´d get that old with all that drug and alcohol abuse?
But I am glad he did! Such a poet!
Since Christians get divided in the statistics into Catholics and Protestants in Germany, Atheists are now the biggest religious group in Germany.
But we still have to put up with all this religious crap like no dance parties on religious holidays like Good Friday, church tax, and even if you are not a member of any church any longer (to avoid paying church tax) the state will give millions to the church from other taxes you pay, some politicians who want to appear as good Christians are calling for the Crucifix to be placed in classrooms in schools again.
With all this madness I take refuge in the one true heavenly rebel. 😎
Non serviam!
Maybe this is the reason why 2018 was so hard on so many people,
because I wished everybody a hellish good 2018 on FB last year! 😂
Maybe I´m the devil his sweetheart?
Oh yeah, I remember a crucifix hanging in the classrooms where I went to school in Bavaria. Every morning we stood up and recited the Lord's Prayer in its direction. It reminded me a lot of the Pledge of Elegance (or was it a Pledge of Eloquence?) recited in US schools every morning.
Har, har!
Neither, I guess you mean the Pledge of Allegiance. 😘
I just watched one on Youtube, unbelievable.
Didn´t even know they do this stuff in the US.
That´s probably the one good thing coming out of the Nazi horrors, we don´t pray to the German flag in school.
Hehehe, of course allegiance. Though I'd much prefer a promise to be elegant, or even more so eloquent, but that's just me.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself first time I saw it. And just like with the morning prayer in Bavaria, you could stay silent if you chose to, but you did have to be present, and standing.
