They work in the guitar shop I buy most of my gear from. Good luck to them!

God will punish them:

Genesis 19 KJV

24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Luke 17 KJV

[28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

[29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

[30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Yes, there's a real likelihood that Jesus (if he existed) was homosexual.

The gospels contain metaphorical references to Christ, saying
he is a bridegroom, but they mean he is married to the church
—there's no reference to any actual wife.

BTW, I was expecting Voyager to rate more highly in Eurovision
than at #9 position. Most of the music critics I read gave them
a good chance of a #1 win.

I'd picked Norway as the winners. Embarrassed

Voyager had a different name, back then. And they released a demo with minute-long samples.

I have been listening to this style of music since the late 1990s. There is not anything standout-ish about Voyager. The Europeans have heard this type of music for so long that it might be novel to Australians, but not from where this style of music originated.
