I have friends of different faiths but that is one subject we never talk about. It is like music, when we get in a car they can listen to anything but country and gospel. But once they start talking music and they say something I think is wrong, I can only bite my tongue for so long. You being a christian and liberal makes you one of very few and I find that fact good. Meaning you won’t just “preach” at me.

I can understand seeing movies and listening to music and not really giving a fat babies ass about what they are trying to get across. But there is a difference, like I would never go see “The Davinci Code” and when someone told me “Signs” was about religion, I wanted to puke. That and when I found out “The Matrix” series is based on theology, I wanted my money back. I guess since I don’t believe I see it in a different light. Not being an ass to you, I am just stating.

Guitar is hard and I have short fingers so don’t fret. Get it!

@ Eyes of Green

I really enjoy DM since it reminds me of a time and place just like cj mentioned. I feel that way about a lot of artists and a lot of songs like certain cheesy Motley Crue songs remind me of jr high. I will always have an affinity for 80s music and new wave. Even though I love my metal.

And for all of you, since we are talking about religion, I will put this out there. I live in a knotch in the ‘bible belt.’ I live in North Carolina and as you can see I am a non-believer.

My best friend since infancy is a fundamentalist Christian, who once told me (by way of denouncing evolution), “my grandfather was not an ape!” (I didn’t think he was.) I’m sure she believes I am going to hell, because although I consider myself Christian, I am not Christian enough (too liberal, don’t think being gay is wrong etc). So there are things we just don’t discuss although we love each other dearly. Will we meet on the other side? It’ll be interesting to see…

What was this thread originally about?

So what, I can still listen to it. Just like I love the movie Ice Age, which clearly has evolutionary overtones. I don’t agree with it, but it doesn’t mean I’m not going to listen it, just like people. Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t mean I’m not going to talk to you.

I would love to play an instrument, but alas, I am a lost cause. My husband is a pretty good guitar player, but he won’t even teach me. :/

Regardless, I respect your opinion and your option to choose your lifestyle. :)

Depeche Mode Rules!!! I listen to it all except COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Metal and old rap are my faves. Along with the stuff that I grew up on due to my folks, Motown and Beach music.

@keightlynn _ I don’t get it “Before I Forget” is clearly about evolution. Also they are great in concert and Vermillion Pt 2 is an awesome song, very disturbing yet beautiful.

And as for the music, the reason I dig it so much is that I was a drummer for a long time and still have local friends in bands and stuff like that. Eargasmic-that is a good one.

@ Eyes of Green-I am an equal opportunity offender. As long as you are open to discussion that is all I ask. We may not understand why we believe what we do but then again I am not telling you, that you have to believe me or someone based on a ‘book.’ In the words of Nirvana “Come as you Are” that is my theory. I may not believe and that is my trip, but I just have to state the arguments, not as a point to contention but as a jumping off point.

and I’m with you on the metal – I do like a couple of songs from Avenged Sevenfold, only because my son listens to it and he thinks the lead singer guy looks like his dad…but that’s about it. I’m more a Depeche Mode kinda girl.
