Dear Holy Trinity Church,

On Saturday mornings, I get up, have a shower, and write. Sometimes I write articles for my editor, sometimes I just write something for my LiveJournal. Very occasionally, I write short fiction. I enjoy the peace and quiet of my neighbourhood, which is placid, even though it's only a mile or two away from the centre of Bristol. It is a calming experience, and I feel peaceful, happy, and productive.

On DONG Sunday mornings, I DONG get up, have a shower, DONG and try to write. DONG Sometimes I'll try to write DONG articles for my editor, sometimes DONG just stuff for LiveJournal. There may DONG even be the occasional attempt at DONG fiction. Unfortunately, my DONG writing is disturbed by the DONG constant tolling of your DONG large bell, whose electrically DONG operated and tireless "donging" DONG goes on for hours on Sunday DONG mornings. My peace of mind is DONG quickly eroded by the Chinese DONG water torture of your DONG irritating noise, still loud DONG enough to be heard in my DONG lounge even though your DONG bell is half a mile away. Why DONG do you have to DONG advertise your faith so DONG strenuously? Go hide your DONG bell under a bushel.

Love,

DONG

Matt

BACK IN THE MISTS OF TIME .....

I lived opposite a church back home which only had a single bell.
It was however just rung a few times at around Morning Eucharist (see I know the lingo) and that was it. It was ever so slightly off key which was down to my Uncle.
He also detested the slightly more tunefull single dong. So on one particular Sunday morning back in the late 50's early 60's he openned the bedroom window and then pointed his air rifle at it getting a bulls eye on first shot.
It has never sounded the same since apparently.

So, the moral of this story is, if you're going to commit violent acts inspired by religion, make sure you use a big enough gun?

No only violent acts against religion should you make sure you use a big enough gun.
I do still think what the Taliban did to the Buddha statues was still wrong as Buddhism is a philosophy. I don't think Buddhism has ever burnt anyone at the stake, called for a war against their fellow man or arrested someone for saying the Earth goes around the Sun.
