19. It wouldn't matter if I were a believer or not.

Edited on Sun Aug-28-11 10:49 PM by The Velveteen Ocelot

I wouldn't listen to them for any reason no matter what they were singing about. They certainly would not enhance my religious experience, or encourage me to keep attending whatever church they were performing at (they would more likely drive me right out the door, screaming). Like I said before, the point of a spiritual experience is not entertainment or the avoidance of boredom.

Although I am an agnostic, I love classical music written for the church; in fact, I belong to two choirs that specialize in church music. It is incredibly beautiful. And I can even understand the words.

But... whatever floats your boat, I guess.
