Acheick, you're funny...you're posting on
every board...also Kathy's corner...making me to believe, that Jesus & Bible-prophecy could/is important to you???!!!...I guess, that's really true...yet you come to the "rescue" of two non-B.-believers, who to my assumption don't need rescuing of that kind (being strong enough, so to speak)..being good or bad is a matter of staying put in your area??...ok, I could have said: the song is Ok with me & you know what, I am farmer from journeys...hint hint...isn't that a bit silly?? ... I mean, I know plenty of people - Germany is not so full of Bible-believing Christians anyway - who are atheists & who can stand some mentioning of the Bible...apparently some assume here, that Gen-exers can't stand to have the personal Christian opinion expressed .
That's what I like about other boards, including movingon...you don't have all these shelters, shells, "safeguards"...people can just voice & vent, as long as people don't get attacked personally, maximum their frame of mind...people are too weak here??? (Shoving/reposting articles around to their respective area is one way of "solving" things...however in real life believers of all sorts meet each other, living & let live could also be learned here??!)
I mean is that an "academic", objective - whatever that is ?? - opinion:"The song is stupid, becaue it has a F. mindset"...alright, that is your & many other people's opinion...I respect that & I don't have that song anyway, to be so "bad", to play you that song ; )...I even don't like it so super much, cause Jeremie's voice is a bit too squeaky for my liking...
Just to say, I think non-B.-believers can defend themselves pretty well...what amazes me though is, that it becomes more & more a "burden" to people,
to have to hear, "this is my opinion, cause I believe this & that of the B. to be true"...
I've been in Amsterdam during summervacation with my kids, to especially see the Anne Frank- house...this itself was worth the visit...in the house they had also an exibition, with various TV-report/news-clips, where at the end of a subject you could vote, pro: freedom of voicing
publicly ones opinion...contra: protection of the minority rights...
The examples they gave were quite striking, one mullah in Holland, e.g. said, that he considered
homosexuality a disease, which of course wasn't liked by the H.-fraction...it went to court...the guy apologised...the court figured, he has the right to say that as his opinion...
They had plenty of other examples, out of national & international life.
Now what appears to me more & more to be the case, is that you almost have to excuse yourself, to have a B.-based-opinion...that's also the way I read your reaction, Acheick...kind of representative.Since you touched the subject of
things may be being allegorical...well, how about
assuming, that the listener(to the song) could make up his own mind, or inquire etc(but without such songs, he wouldn't may be hear/get to know about such subject, people hardly know what Easter & Pentecost is all about, in Germany that is!!!)....by the way, Glen Campbell has some songs about Revelations: "the four horsemen"...
also Demis Rousseau...their songs are also stupid,
cause they touch similar subjects?? or are their's ok, cause it's non-TF???... an unbiased listener
wouldn't know too much the difference, would he?...
it's just that we know, & may be that's what all the "barking" here is all about...
