Bono the new psalms
I was watching day tie tv today, as I have been for the last couple of days..OMG there is some shit. Ricki Lake and Oprah are really good quality rhen it comes to the other shit chat shows they air.
Any way was watching some debate about a church which has come up with the idea of using U2 music instead of the ordinary hyms and psalms. One priest was saying she loved the idea, and thought that many of the U2 songs convayed a religiouse and appropriate message and if it made people more motivated to come to church then why not. Another more somber guy was however a lot more scheptical, and ended up saying that he loved the old traditional hyms and found it unappropriate to use pop music instead of this old heritage of melodies we have. He even stated quite clearly that he had allready chosen his funeral music. How cheery.
Another religiouse organisation (sect) in america is advising all christians to stop listening to music like nirvana and the doors because they make you gay...
Listening to all this really does make me wonder how much sence religion makes. Had the Rabbi of my old school drop over on a spur of the moment visit lasting 3 hrs today. Quite interesting to talk to religiously leanred people I find, even if what they are saying is bollux. The worst new he brought however was that of the pending closure of my childhood school. It is a fantastic little jewish school, but it just doesnt have enough childeren any more. It is a really great lose to any one. I really dont understand why more parents dont just at the idea of sending their kids there. YES it is very twistedly religiouse but it is worth it just for the warmth and love and excellent education it provides.
