Somebody Help!
#26
RE: Somebody Help!
Listening to "Hallelujah" or other music that is religiously based or has heavy religious imagery in it hasn't bothered me a goddamn bit, mostly because I understand that song language is metaphor. Even if the original writer intended something to be a religious song, you can take it almost however you want. No one knew that shitty "Light Up My Life" song was about god for the longest time. There's a song Loreena McKennit set to music called "Dark Night of the Soul" that can either be a poem about coming to Jesus or a song about an intense love affair. Hell, people can't even agree what the Song of Songs is about - is it describing a date with God or a deeply erotic affair?

You liked the music you used to listen to because the sound appealed to you. It doesn't mean you're "falling back into god". The more you read your bible, I bet the more you find it to be bullshit. Just make sure to listen with a clear and level head. Things only have the meanings you ascribe to them. The bible and the music aren't something magical any more than my knowing how to read Tarot cards are.
