Gods plumber...
As a part of my work from time to time I have to go to church, an American style evangelical one, rather than one of the dull 'Wee Free Kirks' which are so numerous in the part of Scotland where I live. Now I put earplugs in and just let it flow past me and think about the money. I'm hourly paid y'see.
So there's their band playing a mind numbing Country & Western style repetitive hymn thing with the word plastered across a big video screen for the congregation and me to read. This lead to my first stumble as I glanced up I misread a line as 'the lamb of Stalin', which caused some internal giggles, as I could no longer see the lyrics as anything else each time it came up. (I've been studying Stalinism)
As the repetitive extra long brainwashing tune began to die down, my ear protection cut out background noises bringing to my attention some human voices. One fellow was having a singing in tongues pretend linguistic moment. Another lady was singing in Portuguese (she's Portuguese so that carried a logic to it), when next my ears picked up a voice talking about showering in Gods love, but to do so, you have turn on the tap (faucet) and all of your sins will be washed away. Well, that was the gist, however the gentleman 'preached' at length about the plumbing.
Has anyone else encountered the Plumber of God, or any other handymen for that matter?

When you feed folks that much shit, it is only logical to have a plumber around. Things will back up occasionally.

I thought you were here in Ky until people started speaking actual foreign languages. Instead of that 'in tongues' crap common in the usa.
