True story: I was just about to post this, when I started having a heart palpitation. And I was like: fml, I'm gonna die. But then I started wondering: what do Christians believe happens if you die posting a meme about Jesus? Like is there a level of hell specifically for that? I thought I remembered from Dante's Inferno that there was a level for people who talked a lot of bullshit, but I couldn't remember what happened there. I was OK with that being my final thought, but then I burped and everything was back to normal.

Maybe in bolgia 10, with the falsifiers, which is part of the eighth circle. But thatโ€™s pretty far down for what is basically making a joke, so I would say limbo, the first circle, which contains the unbaptised who refused choice.

Thanks for the tip.... unfortunately I was baptised as a kid... But I'm gonna study the Inferno really closely and pick the circle of hell I want to end up in, so I know what kind of sin I gotta do to get in.

That's kind of scary, I am glad that you are OK.

I really like the Johnny Cash cover of this song. Itโ€™s a shame that the Christian โ€œhe gets usโ€ commercials started using it.

My favorite Depeche Mode song is Blasphemous Rumors.

Have you heard this one before?

I was thinking earlier of what my favorite DM song is... I think "overall" I'd have to say Enjoy the Silence, just bc it's such a crossover song that if I wanted to introduce someone to DM it's the song they'd probably like. (also it's just a great song.) But personal fave has got to be either Blasphemous Rumors or Fly on the Windscreen. And I have a special place in my heart for Somebody and Blue Dress.

Fly on the Windscreen

I don't recall ever hearing this one.

Hah, I was listening to one of their albums this morning. Just wanted to add that I appreciate your contributions to this community. I recognize a fair amount of the bands you post, but youโ€™ve also helped me discover some new ones :)
