Subject: RE: Can you sing 'Gospel' without Belief?
Another analogy: is it OK to sing a love song if you've never been in love? It's likely that after falling in love the words of a love song will make more sense to you but it is entirely proper, I think, to sing it before- or in spite of experience, as long as you sing it with respect. I think it is necessary to suspend disbelief. Act as if. Otherwise you will offend everybody!
