ughh...
...i was going to write a post loving delirious?, but i'm currently watching a programme on bbcthree about the most irritating pop songs. so, yeah, most of them are pure cheese - whitney's i will always love you and toploader's dancing in the moonlight - but then they rounded on poor daniel bedingfield. and they didn't even criticise his song, if you're not the one (ace song, by the way), but merely the fact that he's christian. apparently he's too strait-laced and conservative to be in the music business, and the fact that he's outspoken about his faith - he shouldn't even be allowed air time! it irritates me so much! yeah, i'm not saying that everyone has to agree with my beliefs, but i just don't like the press that christians get.
although, i must admit, we don't really help ourselves much - there are some nutty "believers" out there. in fact, there's two ends of the spectrum. there's the fundamentalist loopies, ("we hate all 'different' people") and then the middle-of-the-road people who've watered down the Bible so much that it's hardly surprising that people fail to take us seriously any more. - "hmm, did Jesus really die for us and then rise again?" - "i don't know - i think it's just a metaphor for something or other" i mean, seriously?!
urghhhh! rant over! perhaps later i'll share my love of delirious?' eighth studio album, the mission bell, and why i love the band so much!
