Religion and music do they really mix?

Music is deaf to religion

There's two sides to every story,
the Muslims see it from a different
perspective then the Jews. That
doesn't make either group wrong.
Israel's never lied Mr Yod? I didn't
know there was a government on this
entire planet that didn't lie regularly.

I said they have kept their commitments. That is a matter of fact. On the other hand, the Palestinians have never kept even one commitment made in the peace process. First and foremost they agreed to acknowledging Israel's right to exist way back in 1993 at the Oslo Accords. Have you seen it yet?

How do you have peace with someone who denies your right to breathe? They indoctrinate little children to hate and kill jews before kindergarten. It's criminal.

I like the Muslim music better than the
Jewish music, it's not as good as the
old timey christian music.

Arabic music is way cool. I love the percussion especially. Most Israelis agree that arabic music is the best.

Old timey christian music? Are you talking about hymns? Oy. That old english stuff bores me to tears.

Religion and music do they really mix?

Just look at how much religious imagery rock bands use. It's very much a part of rock, especially in the U.K.

What if I have nothing to offer?
Can I come?
Will the tribe provide me with food and shelter and guardianship?

Isn't it dangerous to set up near the mexican border?

Your right Mr Yod religion permeates every part of our lifes,
I don't think even the atheists can get away from that fact.

...it is now the end of the 11th hour.

Yod...As usual great perspectives on religion, music and the world. I thank you and wish you all the best in your life.

gtZip ...Can you run a 100 yard dash with no legs ??? What "reality" do you live in ??? "Can I come" ??? Can you think ??? You have no desire to become a part of something with meaning ... you merely wish to be a "pet" with no redeeming qualities. You sound llike a parasite in search of a host. I wish you luck. "Mexican Border" ??? What is dangerous is to be "mentally crippled" whilst living in an environment that grows increasingly more lethal every hour. Ex parrot not expatriot. Ta

Lynard...these are "interesting times" are they not ? Ta

This is the end of the 11th hour. The water has now begun to boil. Everyone must now be very careful what they say ...verbally ... in writing and musically. Your lives are from this moment onward changing radically forever. If you survive and somehow are able to keep your critical thinking capabilities one year from now .... you will remember what I have said and your attitude towards my words will be much different than it is now. Very soon I will be leaving this Forum. No doubt man of you will rejoice ... despite this I wish you all the best in your lives to come. There are some who I desire to remain in contact with and I shall attempt to do this .... outside the Forum. Live Well Die Well Ta

Now, that's not very open of you....

OMG SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!! And,




Go away. Jesus, what a turd.

Joseph, I've been here for years.

Gt Zip, I didn't mean you...I meant Vampiro, the doomsday douchebag.

...Joseph 6 I thank you for your revealing message. It seems that whatever affliction you seem to suffer from has gotten the upper hand ? Your first post seemed to indicate you might possibly be hearing "voices". You should not address Jesus in such a manner even if you do not live by his word. Please Joseph I urge you to get a grip on yourself. Your second post demonstrates your growing lack of clarity ... even gtZip was unclear and he has been here for years Perhaps you might see a Dr....aside from looking in the mirror. You need some help and are showing signs of a stress that no "drive" will cure. This could affect your job and abilities if it worsens. Your "High School Name-calling" does not demonstrate the kind of mental condition anyone wishes to see a Dr. display publicly ... in particular theirs. I caution you to be careful as such childish statements could have adverse effect upon you. This is not even addressing the new internet laws that are now going into effect. You need to either get some professional help or "smarten up" cowboy. As has been stated by many others on here before ... STOP LOOKING AT THIS POST if it bothers you ... which it obviously does. Get it together lest you destroy yourself and become Joseph 0. Ta

I'm probably the biggest idiot on this site... I snap like a chiuhahua (and I cant spell one fer sheet...) and my music it a dangerously close to rubbish as it gets (Its not complete rubbish because I fancy my poetic side as a wax poetic eloquently side...)

Here's the deal... I don't understand why folks desire to kick around a poster who prides himself on articulation of the English language... Vampier , I am referring to your articulation... You clearly are a thinking man...You have tastes, some common, some eccentric, but I suspect always, all of it, in the spirit of spice and interest of life's profound offerings (And simple offerings often speak the loudest, and even require an advanced vocabulary, just to capture the genius in their essence..) )

Nobody here has been damaged by any postings of Vampier, whatsoever...When he first appeared, he didn't do anything wrong to anybody (or did I miss something?). He was not issuing insults or casting aspersions on anyone... As this thread wears on...I still see no evidence of anything done wrong to anybody... So, why all the contempt?

Vampier has been around the block... He's no fool...and he made a genuine attempt, in his own way , to reach out and engage posters, if only for the sheer enjoyment of a solid, enriching dialog... That cant be bad, now...can it?

So, in the words of Rodney King,,, can we all just get a lawn... ?

Are there any queers in the audience tonight? Get 'em up against the wall!
That one in the spotlight, he doesn't look right! Get him up against the wall!
And that one looks Jewish... and that one's a coon! Who let all this riff raff into the room?
That one's smoking a joint! And that one's got spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!

Yep, at first I was pretty offended by the song lyrics, the false prophecy, and that whole blood sucking thing. I am over it. Vamp will do whatever vamp does and it does not affect me or mine in any way. I am very clear who is in charge here.

I believe that ALL portrayal of life through art, music, etc, results in FICTION anyhow, ...It should never be confused with the author's real life and standards. Many people thought that Frank Zappa had to have been an acid head for all his musical weirdness.... Quite the contrary, he was more straight-laced than the sons of Oral Roberts... (when it came to drugs and R & R...) People actually believe that Houdini was born a real Magician... Nope! He was a regular guy with quick hand, a knack for the spectacular, and Good ol fashion community principles just like the next guy. Leonard Nimoy 'MUST be a real Vulcan' and Obama "must be a real president"... I'm just saying...before we get all ' Fahrenheit 451' on somebody, because they issued provocative (and even perhaps uncomfortable) lyric depictions, concepts, etc ... lets remember that Hollywood is the mecca of lies and deceit ... nobody steps up at the Oscars and complains about that. Art is Art and there's nothing more to it than that... People who make such a big deal about it...usually are the ones who get it wrong anyhow... Its futile to assign sound , visual arrangement or method function as the defining term of an artist's real-life character. In fact its plain irresponsible, immature and disrespectful.

PD,
To paraphrase Frank Z:
"We need vampire music because it makes the Vienna Philharmonic even more grand."

I believe everyone has the right to express their music as they please. I also reserve the right to choose not to like it.
