| Peter Gabriel – Wallflower Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Peter has a history of writing songs about the opression of South Africa. This is one of the songs banned in that country (along with Biko) because of it's political message. Some have said it was a tribute to Nelson Mandella, but Peter has always stated that it is for every person who is willing to be placed in jail for their beliefs of freedom. |

| John Hiatt – Have a Little Faith in Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm in the process of adopting my 2 year old grand niece, and this is a song I sing to her at night. So much bagage at such a young age, this song helps me help her to understand that no matter how the adults in her life have left her, I will always be there for her and will always love her. |

| Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
To me, it's looking back at your life. From the way you looked at clouds as a child, your first love, and finally you whole life. There are always new ways to see things, and no matter how many different ways your perception changes, you still lose and gain from the experience. And sooner or later find you don't, and can't, have all the answers. |

| Keith Urban – Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Life isn't about what you don't have. It's about having what you love with you and enjoying every minute of it. All the money in the world doesn't make us happy. | |

| Creed – My Sacrifice Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Maybe it's me, but doe's anyone ever listen to the bands anymore as to what inspired them? Creed doesn't posture itself as a "Christian Band". And, if you listen to all of thier music, then you would hear that. What has come through (and has been admitted by band members) is that they were all raised in a very strong Christian environment, and that comes through in thier music. Househead23 and OwnPersonalDemon, if you don't like the music, then don't listen to it. And please stop bashing those that do. I don't care for some music, but I have the common sense to know that if I press my views on to those who do, I will only affirm thier position. As for the religious topics that have come down. Let's look at some of the facts on some of the obviously off thread topics: The BoyScouts are NOT a Christian organization, they are held in public places, almost every single religion has allow thier temple to be used for meetings, etc... They just believe there is no way to separate the predator from the non predator in the gay community. So, instead of being overly caustious with further investigations, they choose to exclude. Right or wrong, that's thier call, just as it is your call not to let people into your house. Faith is not blind, and because you subscribe to a religion doesn't mean that you have put your intellect asside. Also, never confuse religion with myth. Open your intellect with the truth, religion centers around actual people (Jesus and Mohammad Lived), myth centers around unproven beings, with unbelievable powers. OwnPersonalDemon, you need to do a little more research on some topics that you spout about. for instance, over half of the signatures on the declaration of independance for our country came from "ordained ministers", and three quarters of the remaining members had gone through seminary. Also, if you do your research, the Christian religion is the MOST pursecuted single group of people AT THIS TIME. Think I'm lying, check the records.... Sudan has laws that allow you to kill any Christian man, rape his wife, enslave thier children with absolutely no consequences. The government of China has killed more Christians than the total number killed by Christians during the crusades TIMES TWO. And in the middle east, Christians aren't even allowed to live in some countrys. If you want to open this bag of manure, then you better bring a big shovel for what you will need to clean up.... If you doubt my intellect, then let's do some walking in each other's shoes..... There is a distinct possibility that I have a history and knowledge base you can't compete with, because you have no frame of reference. And based on your postings, your frame of reference is exteremly limited. Oh, and one other question... Why is it that those demanding tolerance are the most untollerant of anyone not having the exact same beliefs??? |
