um, a song about love in general is not specifically a "Christian" song. Other beliefs are big on love too yknow. :) Anyway... I can't believe no one has mentioned Bob Dylan's "Slow Train Coming," which was a fine album yet widely panned by his anti-Christian loser "fans" of the day. Also...

I find it odd/sad that anyone cannot like or at least respect classical music. It shows a severe lack of a musical maturity/knowledge/clue.

Even if you look past the "non-Christian" (i.e. vulgar/decadent/anything goes attitude and proud of it) angle of much of music today, music is in a sad state from a simple musical perspective. Pick a genre, they're all floundering badly. Rock is on life support, jazz is dominated by painfully...

Piano. IMO it is one of the easiest instruments to learn and yet so versatile. Of course if learning all those chords trips you up maybe not :) Guitar is one of the hardest IMO. For single-note instruments, I guess any of the woodwind/brass, many of them are similar. Might try the recorder...

Just interested in general talk about gear, methods, lessons learned etc.

Easier how?

Aren't non-Catholics allowed to talk to you any more? ;)

:rolleyes:

I didn't "put words in your mouth," I made a reasonable conclusion based on your response to "So does everyone who is not a christian go to hell" as you said "pretty much so." The oversimplification was yours, which is my point. The real answer to the orig question is obviously "no."

Because people love their pets. That seriously needed to be explained? I have no idea what any of that even means or how it's relevant. I'd have to question a "Heaven" where any beloved pet isn't included. Why would they be exluded? I kinda doubt they'd be terrorizing people in Heaven. :)...

Very cool. All I ever see are cig butts. :sigh:

pretty much not. So Abraham, Noah (the list goes on) aren't in Heaven? What an....interesting viewpoint.

Isn't it great when entertainers use their fame/fortune to push their political agendas...... :nausea: I remember seeing Linda Ronstadt in concert some years back (huge fan) and she stopped in the middle of it (an election year) to go on and on about the presidential candidates and (surprise)...

Not sure if being hard is a reason to do anything in itself, but yep, excellent points that religion is not easy.

Good point. Like most things, it's a question of degree or balance; it isn't simply a question of judging or not judging. Also in how it's done. That doesn't make "taking it back" though...more like being clear about it.
