Another manufactured country controversy
February 5, 2015 at 1:39 pm
This was on my Facebook wall.

http://qpolitical.com/they-told-brad-not...hole-room/

Apparently they want to make it out like atheists were upset that mr Paisley mentions Jesus and doesn't like gays. But I have to say, who the fuck cares? Half of country music is about God, why would I be upset or surprised by it? And am I supposed to be surprised he's an anti-gay bigot? I don't care. I just don't care.

Give me the Pogues. Now that's a band.

Country music is very christian, so Brad's opinion isn't surprising. Much of the older half is about cheating and abuse. Make of that what you will.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

I too have always loathed country music just because it is an awful irritating sound that offends my ears. That is also seems to be the choice of awful people seems about right.

"Don't say Jesus in your song" is not the same as "You'll sell more albums if you don't say Jesus in your song."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I got to "amen to those who love in the name of JESUS" and gave up.
