Blixa? Runtu? English people? Was my sentence improper English?

I personally think that the "indeed can" should have been parenthetical, but that's just my stylistic preference.

What do you mean by that? Perhaps in those 'praise gatherings' they meet with God?


I heard a guy describe himself as a producer for a church. Do gatherings where we meet with God need a "producer?"
Can't we manage to do the wave all by ourselves without a producer?

Yes, but it gets easier with practice.


After the first million, they just think like to watch Celestial soap operas and think of Brad Pitt or something.


Brad Pitt can't compare to any Celestial body.

All right, since you asked.

"Does, indeed can, God worship Himself?"

I think I get the gist of this, but it is rather awkwardly done.

I'd probably do this:

"Does--indeed, can--God worship Himself?"

Ah, I see. I enoy my friend the hyphen (or is that dash?), so I'm not sure why I left him out. I appreciate it.

I also didn't realize I needed that comma in the "indeed, can" part.

And just what qualifies you to make claims about "wrong" vs right on mythology of worship?

Thanks for making my day, Coggs.
