Thread Name: Atheists and Gospel Music
Subject: RE: BS: Atheists and Gospel Music
Is this thread music related?
It does (currently at least) have the word 'music' in its title.
I may not share the sentiments of many songs but that does mean I cannot enjoy listening to them. I may even sing them.
In fact it was loving the tunes of some the hymnns I sang at my Church of England infant school that got me to into folk music. For many of the tunes were in fact folk tunes - that had been 'borrowed' and tarted-up.
The same question could be asked for nationalistic tunes or those with a strong political bias. For whether you share the sentimnts - it remains music that your ears either like the sound of - or do not.
