I was born Roman Catholic. Believe it or not, I go tot church on Sunday and I do read the Bible. But I don’t read it as a how to live your life book. I read it as if I have a question I can open any page. If you’re open minded you will get the answer from a passage. And you will get a different answer if you read the same passage but it will still be just as worthy. ““I went to confession for the first time in 30 years. And the priest was very happy that I had come back to church and stuff. I didn’t go into each and every sin otherwise he would have to take two weeks vacation (laughs). I said ‘Father I did wrong and I want o apologize to God for my behavior and I’m going to try for it to not happen again.’ It’s better to pay in this life then in the afterlife. "I have pretty much been instructed to say three things: One is that God will not be the man let the man be the man. That abortion is the killer of angels and I am guilty of that myself. And that peace on earth shall not come until this state of design has been converted to Christianity. And that you are going to fuckin pay for what you say and that’s your ticket to death so. . ." "My mother always told me if I really didn’t wan to do something, if I was really tired, but if I had helped someone and I really went out of my way for them but I asked nothing for it, that I should donate my energy to the souls in purgatory—meaning that to give my goodness to those who are trapped. This is purgatory/limbo. This is a very Catholic thing that very few people really understand." “Ever since I have come back to my faith, such incredibly strange things have been happening. Ten times a day if I ask God for a sign, through numbers and letters I will get it. I believe that God speaks to everyone in a way that only that person can understand, but I have been enlightened…you have to ask to be enlightened. I ask these questions and I get the answers. I don’t hear God’s voice. That satisfies me.” “When I said I have hit rock bottom, it’s not in a bad way--it’s in a good way. I’ve found piece on something solid and now I know what the meaning of life. I’ve always thought that the meaning of life was to try to find something to live for. Now I realize, all this time, it is finding something to die for. It’s been right there all the time I will die for my faith. I am going to. I know it.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872830042269797401.post-11693268320195412152010-04-27T10:55:58.716+02:002010-04-27T10:55:58.716+02:00Haha, sorry if we were a bunch of wankers Greg! ;...Haha, sorry if we were a bunch of wankers Greg! ;-)Besatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249422950419263931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872830042269797401.post-59860304759162655302010-04-27T10:06:12.165+02:002010-04-27T10:06:12.165+02:00That was a lovley post =)

We were insanely crushed by the sad news. He was such an inspiration to me. The worst part about this was that he was clean and sober for months. He was really trying to right every wrong that he did. Well, he's finally at peace...Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15290366116185932190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872830042269797401.post-71512624487669625592010-04-17T20:10:53.400+02:002010-04-17T20:10:53.400+02:00First time visitor at punkrock and coffee.

I was sitting in the Raging Speedhorn backstage room, Carnivore was in Stage and you guys were loading Betty while I was waiting, having a beer. Suddendly the door opened and the Carnivore guys came in to get dressed and ready for the famous Blood Show. I was a bit scared as I was not sure of I should leave or stay and how they would react. I was totally impressed of this big man Peter Steele. I could almost say nothing. And this rarely happens! Suddendly He came over and HE asked ME of I could PLEASE help him to tie his nutcher skirt as his hands were shaking too much! Such a polite and friendly man! I am sure you can imagine how nervous I was ;-) but I did a good job!<br />Great show, great evening! Yeah and Marcus and I met there. Destiny!<br />R.I.P.
