Religious music for less than devout
Since I started this thread please let me make the clear distinction between “Religious Music For the Less Than Devout” and “Anti-Religious Music That Parodies or Attacks Piety.”
Those who evidently feel the need for their own anti-theist thread should do exactly that. I wish them well with it. And many thanks to contributors who have helped me re-energize my music collection. |
Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Coburn) was on the Christian rock scene for awhile, until his lyrics drifted toward human rights, then he was no longer approved. His album "Dancing In the Dragon's Jaw" featured "Wondering Where the Lions Are" that was a radio hit. This album features his incredible guitar playing, moving lyrics and is a sonic masterpiece. https://youtu.be/3k_xkhoq7YM |
@djones51It It would not be my place to attack anyone or quantify their piety by my standards. @jafreeman In any society where voluntary charity is displaced by onerous taxes and entitlement programs, where the state becomes the primary donor of other people's money for generations at a time, yes some folks will chaff at being lectured about social justice. So in a market place of ideas, some ideas will be rejected based on their merits. That might be one interpretation, since I know nothing about the specifics of Bruce Cockburn I don't have an opinion on the particulars. |
