Oh yes, I forgot that once an artist is popular enough, the lyrics of their songs don't hold meaning anymore. The song is explicitly Gospel worship music, not sure what's unclear about that. It's not subtle. It's not metaphor. The entirety of the songs lyrics are dedicated to the concept that devoting time to praising God will yield blessings.

I never said it was bad though? Good songs can be religious by religious people, but it doesn't alter the religiosity of the song.

Ya I am pretty sure CBC played it because it just came out and is popular, not because of the lyrical content. Jesus Christ dude.

It should have been excluded from play because of its lyrical content. Just like they should exclude music that promotes homeopathy, reiki, or human sacrifice.

Imagine if they had talked about gang activity and then played a tupac song! What kind of agenda does the CBC have?! e: I couldn't think of any actual gangsta rap songs released in the past 5 years but I guess a The Game song would've been more relevant whatever gently caress you

Destroy the model of the church in the Museum of History Burn any and all art inspired by religion in the National Art Gallery I don't care for religion either but I'm not so insecure in my beliefs that I melt like sugar in the rain if I see a cross. It's one thing if the state is endorsing those beliefs but come on, ignoring that it exists is stupid and would create more problems in the long run.

I don't think the CBC playing a religious song really counts as the state endorsing or promoting religious beliefs. Should we prohibit government funding for any art museums that have paintings of religious subjects (i.e. the majority of them)? Again, I'm pretty much as anti-religion as you can imagine, but religious art doesn't bother me in the slightest in any of its forms. It has inspired great things (I haven't listened to that song, so I'm not sure if it counts as one of them), which is about all the good it's done, so we might as well celebrate that element of it.

The state should not sponsor the proliferation of religious content. Worship music is particularly regressive, inviting listeners to devote time to prayer and worship to improve their circumstances in life. The CBC should not play a song whose core theme was that the use of illicit drugs improves the rate at which good things happen to people, for good reason: it's untrue. For this same reason, worship music should not be sponsored. It's the same reason I do not support gambling: these things bear the allure of the potential for positive change. People who exercise these beliefs do so in catharsis for actions which actually might promote positive change, like posting on the Something Awful forums.

Liquor and drugs cause great things to happen 100% of the time. Also, they cause bad things to happen, but the good things happen reliably. Did you ever have a beer that didn't give you a buzz or a joint that didn't get you high?

I feel like I'm in a weird place with religion. When it does terrible things, I abhor it. When it does good things, I celebrate it. Why is it so difficult to accept that is has and will continue to do both things, often to absolute extremes? I get poo poo on for not forgiving its many faults, yet no one looks at when I've defended the good bits. Christianity has inspired beautiful art and the Spanish Inquisition. Islamic civilization has produced the Alhambra and also Daesh. Why ignore either the bad or the good?

I think the only way to truly combat religiousness is shitloads of science education from a very early age. Jehovah looks like such a petty, small thing when you grow up knowing what we're fortunate to know about the universe these days.

Jehovah looks like such a petty, small thing when you grow up knowing what we're fortunate to know about the universe these days. Again, I don't think we can ignore that religion has often been both a motivator for scientific investigation and a huge impediment. The Vatican accepts evolution as settled science now, and Islamic civilization had a very high level of understanding of many things relative to the time. On the other hand, we mustn't discount that the Catholic Church has done very awful things to hinder science or that it took a Saudi prince going to space for the religious authorities to accept either heliocentrism or the fact that the earth is round, I don't recall which.
