Subject: Line Dancers Damned
A report in the Guardian of May 18th 2001 brings the news that Ian Paisley reckons that line dancers are "on the road to dmanation." Thousands of Irish dancers according to him have been tapping their toes to Beelzebub's beat. He is quoted as saying "the dancing of the world, hugging the other sex, set to music, is sensual, and clearly caters to the lust of the flesh.". Another minister Rev David McIlveen is quoted as stating that "when Moses came down from the mountain to find the Israelites dancing there was undoubtedly sexual activity going on.Whenever people are having weddings in our churches, the emphasis in on spiritual things and we would advise them not to have dancing at their receptions." Waal shut my mouf. I wonder if the great dance bands are all downstairs now? Heaven must be a rather dull place with no dancing. I wonder if there was dancing at the Marriage Feast at Cana? And what about the song "Lord of the Dance." God protect us against such ... I don't really know what to say.
