No. I'm not dropping it. Because you STILL don't get it. There's a difference between expressing your opinions and being a jerk about it...which is what you have been. You over and over insist on telling us that our music is vile and obscene, but you don't get that that's wrong (and oh so un-Christian). You flaunt that article that is nothing but telling us we're wrong and sinful, and you see nothing wrong with that because you seem to think that if you're backed by religion, you can do no wrong. Your article is offensive tripe, and your refusal to see that others take offense not only to that, but also to YOU telling us over and over that you think what we listen to is obscene and vile.
Have your freaking opinion. I don't care. But maybe at this point you could keep it to yourself. We all know that you find what most of us listen to here offensive. You don't have to keep telling us. We really don't find it relevant...but we DO find you telling us over and over that we are wrong to be insulting.
And your article is a pile of offensive garbage, written by a closed minded ass. That you don't get why it's offensive says a lot about what you are.

Well, I think maybe I will drop it. I can't reason with someone who takes offense to someone saying that music that's full of obscenties and profanities is obscene and profane. And who actually doesn't want me to share my opinions here, just like all other members, just because he disagrees with my opinions. And as, I've pointed out, you aren't so open-minded yourself. You clearly have no understanding for people who don't share your views.

I disagree with the article you posted. Are you really not smart enough to see that it's offensive to everyone here? What is wrong with you? You either don't understand anything I say to you, or you're a troll.
Starting to think the latter is more likely.

Might be a good thread-deletion candidate. 😄
Still, "obscene" and "profane" are inherently subjective terms, whether you can admit it or not. Also, you did sort of dodge the question of whether or not you treat cleanly-worded lyrical criticism of Judeo-Christian religious precepts as "obscene" or "profane" on that basis alone. Hopefully you don't, but as long as you dodge or avoid the question, some of us will strongly suspect that you do - and many of us will continue to avoid the threads that you start, as a result. But hey, as long as you don't mind being offended on occasion, it's all good, right?

For today, yes. But in more Christian times, this statement itself would have been profanity. And in the very near future it won’t stack up either. The obscene and profane will not be decided by either human subjectivity or the word of God, but rather by big data. This is the religion that BEA should actually be worried about. The new one coming out of silicone valley.

This thread has gone off-topic, so closing it. First and foremost this a music website focused on the best ever albums. This site doesn't care which religion (or not) people follow and this sort of debate should go in the Politics & Religion forum.
