Religion DOES cause war because the people ("leaders") misinterperet or misconstrue what the religion teaches to mean whatever they want it to mean and that's where the problem is. The same can be said with politics... |
no, you have already proved yourself wrong. its not the religion, its a persons EGO. when you think of yourself high and mighty, its power and domination that you wish to maintain. Religion has and will always, so long as humanity survives, be used as a mask to justify personal ambition. If you put a child in front of you and claim that he or she wants a certain person dead, is the child the one to blame for death of that person?

why do you hate that? what causes you to hate us? The reason christians see God and the teachings of Jesus everywhere is because they ARE everywhere. what jesus taught applies to everyone and are eternal truths. God is not some guy sitting on clouds who decides who dies and who doesnt. God is whats was, what is, and what will be. Through God we are all connected.

This music was NOT made to praise god.
Perhaps it was made for people to take lots of drugs and dance around like bunnies on crack? Or maybe its made to touch people? Or its even possible its made so premarital sex could be better?
I dont fuckin know, but I'll tell you one thing.
IT WASNT MADE AS AN EXTENSION OF THE BIBLE IN ANY WAY AND WASN'T MADE TO PRAISE GOD.
when a song might have vocals that go something like "your my angel" it doesn't mean it literally, it is a metaphor, chump. |
how narrow your view of music is. This concept that you believe is also what many christian fundamentalists believe, which is sad. their children, if they chose the same path, will grow never knowing the wonders of music and dancing. What one person makes for a junkie, can also be used as a tool to praise God. EDM is a great form of music because it can transcend racial, linguistic, and cultural barriers and create happiness to anyone who wishes to listen. How is that I, a christian, can listen to the same music you listen to and enjoy it just as much, if not maybe more? Point being, whatever makes me happy i can use to praise God, even if you use it differently.
also just to keep this music discussion orientated, im listening to Benjamin Bates - Lost in the Way You Close Your Eyes
