I often marvel that we are among the first people in existence who have the privilege of listening to the most FANTASTIC music, delivered by the most EXPERT musicians living--right at our fingertips, anytime we choose.

That's something even the most powerful kings and emperors in the past could never possess even with all their power--yet most people take it completely for granted.

Two words: "deaf rave"

Your comment about heaven, made in sarcasm, corresponds very accurately with what my local adversary, Baptist preacher Paul Lyle, said to me in all seriousness a few months ago.

I must go back to your video "Somewhere over the rainbow". Thanks Mr. Tarte.

Notice that TherionNLD has made a comment stating that he was being sarcastic and did not mean anything of what he said.

Thank you for the welcome clarification.

Sorry Edward, I should have made clear that I was being sarcastic, I know it can be hard to tell the difference. I've actually been in a discussion with a Christian over the last week and that would have been his answer from what I've understood of the explanations he gave when I raised those kinds of questions to him.
