well, I'll argue (friendly discussion?) against many religious concepts.....but there just ain't NO doubt, religion IS good for creating songs!...I'll sing with you, from "Ave Maria" to "Standing in the Need of Prayer", 'cause I can't even imagine it making any sense to write Atheist music ....I can even appreciate the moods, needs, cares and concerns that went into gospel and other religious songs.....they were made by people who CARED and felt and loved. I do NOT make fun of honest, deeply felt religious music, (though there IS some that is little more than bad commercials for some TV preachers).

(funny...at places like the Getaway, we almost never debate these things, we just sing the songs and enjoy each other)
