Then there's Bach, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Verdi, Rossini.....
Basically all of them were either employed by the Church or put biblical stories to music, or both.
Can't have it all.
And lets not talk about art.....
No, I have no choice in the context of this situation, if I do not work, I don't eat or pay my bills. I am a hostage, and even if I quit and get another job, where I live, the same attitude is going to take place, even without a radio.
I work in a "right to fuck the employee state". If I raise enough of a fuss over their music monopoly and Sunday church crap in the kitchen, or any god talk, they can and would fire me and use a totally unrelated excuse, and there would be no way for me to prove it.
I don't even have to debate them, they would get offended if I wore a shirt or hat that just merely had the word "atheist" on it. But they wear crosses in front of the customers and freely talk all the time to each other about church on top of the radio stuff.
I am not talking about "art", I am talking about their blatant hypocrisy. I wouldn't give a shit if I had the same ability to state my position without fear of being fired, but I don't. I am expected to be the good uncle tom atheist and sit at the back of the buss. They are pathetically proud of themselves because they know an atheist (Some of my best friends are atheists) shit like that. They are fine with me as long as I keep my mouth shut.
