Gothic Painting of Stand Church
Stand Church and Gothic Painting
'This church is near where I live, in the area I've always lived. It was painted in the 70's or earlier [the artist died in 1979]. The houses in the foreground look unrecognisable to me.
I've visited this church a few times and pass it frequently, the architecture is very Gothic with huge arches, stone gargoyles and a large graveyard. It's a very Gothic church up close and personal. The painting depicts the rear of the church.
John Bold's Gothic Art at Stand Church, Manchester
Despite the church being in the background of the painting where none of the Gothic architecture is too obvious, this painting just looks so dark and Goth. The trees, the old houses and the grey skies really set the scene for what I consider Gothic art. The black cat is a nice touch too.However, I imagine the artist never considered his painting to be Gothic art.

Islam or Muslims? - Who is actually offended by Atheists?
After some atheists believe in that Islam is offended by some arguments of today's world, an unpopular friend of mine wrote this.
"I was born in a secular Muslim country and 80% of the people around me were Muslims until my 20s. and I never heard of any of those things offended anyone. Woman rights, free speech, democracy (especially), eating whatever you want, genuine human rights, gay marriage (it was not in any subject those times) and more less those kind of things have always been considered as essentials of life and our society. Then I heard almost the same or very similar words from some other Muslim countries too (Malaysia, Bosnia etc). Therefore its not the Islam what is offended by those thins but some certain group believers. And this kind of thins take time to establish. For example, not too long, only 80 years ago there were many Western countries (like France in 1944, Italy in 1946, Greece in 1952,Switzerland in 1971 and more) where women were not counted as individuals.
Economy, education, civil wars, etc etc play very important key roles in human development. We cannot expect everything in the world changes in seconds. Its like Orthodoxy and democracy. Technically there cannot be democracy in Orthodoxy, but it has to change, they have to find a way to bring them together. and this problems has been going on for centuries....
I lived in Britain for 10 years and stayed long time in Sweden, Canada, USA, Lithuania, South America and most of my friends are from Western world. What I noticed is: unfortunately, all these countries are full of extremists and terrorists.
Did you know, most of the most wanted extremists from every religion, any ethnic group, communist, Islamist, whateverist are living in countries such as UK, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, USA? for example, that hook-hand Muslim extremist in Britain, you know that man, why did he go to European Human Right Court? He wanted to stay in Britain.. the reason is, if he returns his own country, or any Muslim country (except Saudi Arabia) he would be in prison because of his extreme activities. Isn't it interesting? There isn't any Muslim country on earth these kind of people are allowed (except like Somalia, Afghanistan, these are exceptional places).. but they are always very welcome to all western countries. How come?
Anyway.. these are neverending issues"

A Young Western Girl in Trouble in China
How Cute Chinese Girls Scammed An Innocent British Girl
A beautiful young British girl works in China and one day... this happens;
"I was at Tian'anmen Square, just coming out of the National Museum of China (which was mega cool) and there were 3 Chinese girls taking photos of each other outside, in a touristy way. They asked me to take their photo all together, so I did. They started complimenting me (which isn't unusual with the girls here) and asked where I was from etc. They said they were from near Hong Kong and they seemed really nice. They said they were on their way to the food market and I asked if I could join them, they said "of course!" and we started walking there. On the way, after about 15 minute walk, one of them said they were thirsty so we stopped at a shitty little tea shop. It's the Chinese kind where you get a small room privately for your group, which looks like a prison cell with a big table and chairs inside. They ordered 2 pots of herbal tea and some coffee. I ordered a coke and also had a couple of cups of the herbal tea. We were chatting and laughing and it was all really nice. After about 20 minutes, one of the girls ordered glasses of red wine for us all to "celebrate making a new friend" and we all drank to that. I said I was looking forward to seeing the food market as it was apparently full of traditional Chinese food, along with the scorpions and spiders etc kind of stuff on sticks. They said "OK, let's go now, drink up!" so we did. We'd been in the room about 40 minutes, having a great time. One of the girls went out of the small room and came back in with the waitress and the bill. The bill was 2000 yuan, which is about £200. This is for 2 pots of herbal tea, a coke, 2 cups of coffee and some crisps that we shared. I immediately knew I'd been scammed and the whole thing was a set up, but I didn't let on. I was smiling and saying "wow, that's so expensive! Shall we split it between us?" They were smiling and said "Yes, that's what we normally do. We don't come here very often because it's expensive, but it's worth it because it's so nice".
I put all my money into my bra and I put my phone in my knickers.
They said they were going to all pay by card. I dug into my bag and looked in my purse. I took all my money out except for 70 yuan (about £7) and put it into my bra when they weren't looking. Then I said loudly "Oh shit, I'm so sorry, I don't have enough money, I had no idea that it would be so expensive!" I showed them inside my purse and counted out the notes. I gave them every last bit of money I had in there and was apologising a lot. That's when it started getting nasty. They stood up around me while I was still sitting down and they started shouting and getting quite aggressive. One of them grabbed my bag and took out my purse to check for more money. She pulled out my Chinese bank card and tried to take it out of the room to try to pay with it. I grabbed her and wrestled her to try to get it back, but the others pushed me to the ground. I got back up and got my card back. I told them there is no money in that account anyway, which there isn't, as I haven't been paid yet. They got the card back off me and tried to pay with it. Obviously, it didn't work and they threw it back at me. They went through my bag to try to find more money, but there was none. They all went out of the room and locked me in on my own. I put my phone in my knickers!
A Young Western Girl in Trouble in China
They left me locked in that room on my own for about 15 minutes, I was fucking terrified. The 3 girls came back in and there were 4 or 5 men standing at the door, looking kinda tough. The girls were shouting at me and pushed me to the ground again. I tried to leave but the men stopped me. After another 15 minutes of shouting and them insisting I had more money or a phone, they left and I followed them out. They said they were very angry and no longer wanted to go to the food market and they were going home. I walked (very fast) down the street towards the subway station and they followed me all the way there. I stood next to a security guard and they stood just a short distance up the street, looking at me. After about 10 minutes, they turned around and walked away. I ran and got onto the first subway train I saw. I burst into tears, shaking and nobody gave a fuck. Nobody speaks English and I was completely alone and helpless, it was awful."
