Wait…you are returning to place of the start of your addiction just to use again? I might not want to call then.
Ok then.
I might have to cut off relations with you altogether. You and Michelle and Gunda don’t stop trying to one up each other with whatever trouble you can get in and always threatenting some deviant behavior if you don’t get your way.
You can’t remedy anything by what you peope have in your minds. And no, nomatter what you may believe thatis not why I was looking to keep any type of correspondence.
Propose something like that to me you will never see anyone snap as fast.
You’re absolutely right Mark. We are all fucked up and you are not. Sorry.

I propose you keep corresponding because you are hiding some deviant behavior you would like to explore further.
am sure you will be missed but a break from bbad might be the best thing that could ever happen to you… take good care silky
Did your cat like Canada?
My cat is almost 16. I think the last 2 years of her life have been her best. Despite some arthritis.
The cat totally loved Canada. It was like she was a kitten again, running everywhere, full of energy. She’s back to being lazy here in Medellín. Clearly Canada is better for her overall.
Medellín is better for me, though. We went back downtown today and loved it. It’s dirty, full of poverty, hustlers and prostitutes, and it’s as crowded and alive as a bee’s nest. I also feel alive there and so does Erika although she won’t admit it. We talked about moving there.
At Govinda’s, a vegetarian Hare Krishna restaurant I love, a young couple were performing a melancholy classical version of “We Are The Champions” by Queen. On Thursday we’ll return to the area to hear the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín play. My life here is full of art and culture and adventure. I appear to be unable to choose between here and Canada. Thankfully, I don’t need to yet, although that day is surely coming.

We went to the Museo de Antioquía to watch the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín again tonight. They were magic, as usual. Tonight they played music from Venezuelan and Colombian composers and featured a Venezuelan soloist named Eddie Cordero (check out the foot stomp at about 0:10). I continue to be amazed at how excellent they are given that they generally only do free performances, most of which are in the comunas. No, they’re not the London Philharmonic, but you won’t find those guys going to perform in neighbourhood churches in the poorest areas of their city. I love everything this orchestra stands for. They are one of the most important reasons I have finally grown to love this city.
I admire musicians who play in public spaces.

those that promote churches should be boycotted; all churches should be torn down
You are cruel. You wish away one of the most significant sources for aid in disasters.
am sure there are many deluded people in churches that truly believe they are helping but as your bible says: beware the bearers of false gifts
holding up a carrot in front of someone telling them they can eat if they take some poisonous drugs first, making them dependent on that, thats cruel!
why do your locations that provide aid have gold, other valuables and indoctrinating pictures and sculptures in it? wouldnt/shouldnt those things be sold if their main focus was on helping people?
why would people that focus on providing aid tell those people they will suffer much more unless they worship their god?
your supposedly significant source of aid could and should be replaced with something genuine and really helpful
Our churches do help. Our churches go into full volunteer mode at the onset of disasters Many move faster than FEMA.
Those are cruel words. Hurt me again.
I don’t know what you are talking about. No church I have ever gone to has ever had gold or sculptures in them. You must be thinking of the Catholic Church.
That’s a lie from Hell, Nico, or whatever your name is.
The message is that your Creator died for you so that you could live through Him, eternally.
Hurt me again.
Hurt me again. Perhaps something genuine and helpful will materialize.
you dont help anyone by making them depend on someone or something… that doesnt make them saviors but drug pushers
even if your churches dont contain valuables (which i dont believe) the buildings are usually not cheap and should be sold to provide more aid?
the idea that anyone should die to save someone is evil!
you really believe your creator made me to inflict pain on you?
then again ae you really hurting and in pain to the point that not even your god can comfort you?
or just acting again?..
Who is making someone depend on someone? Sorry. I am too stupid to follow along with this line of thinking.
I’m not surprised but I have no reason to lie to you. My church looks much like the church Reg grew up in. I doubt there is gold or sculptures in his church either.
Yes I shouldn’t have to die for you but I would be willing to if it meant you would live forever or even one more day than what is appointed for you by God, your Savior.
No, I believe your god did.
Sorry. I don’t understand any part of this but I suspect you just insulted me, without apology, again.

lol depend/dependent (english is difficult for me): according to your religion people are only saved if they worship your god… ok some may not call that making dependent but emotional blackmail
uh huh and next you will say there are no indoctrinating images in your church either lol either way, dont you think a normal building or some tents would be sufficient to help those that urgently need aid and that the money from selling those churches would mean that more people could be helped?
nice… i would die for you or anyone else too and i wouldnt even need a security blanket / childish dream of a forever life or a thank you or to be worshipped lol
the real difference is that i wouldnt kill for you or your imaginary needy god
lol i have no god, but ok lets say i have one is it the same as yours or is this the other one, the devil that is always blamed for all the things that your god shouldnt do? lol
lol am sure you understood (despite that typo i made) but yet again you choose to avoid answering, ok trying again this time without a typo but some mockery instead snce you seem to understand that better:
you believe… yes?.. your god almighty good?..he help you not?.. you feel strong and not hurt?..no pretend needed…why you do?
if i thought you were really hurt i would gladly and even sincerely apologise
I’m saved by my faith. I don’t understand how that is blackmail.
No more than what selling a “normal” building or tent could provide.
Huh?
I’m fine.
if it makes you happy to think or pretend to be saved by faith, then iam happy for you
you know thats not true; more money means more people helped
lol yes i know you are fine, thats why i dont see any reason to apologise
Nico, they play music for the public in the poorest areas of Medellín (the comunas) and often use the only available venues in those comunas, namely the churches. In no way do they “promote churches”. They simply use the buildings. Try not to be so stupid.
