Silly Religiousness...
I was talking to this extremly religious girl on our floor. The kind of religion where she was schooled in a church basement. We talk alot about religion, Christianity specifically. Now I used to be hard core religious, but this girl... wow. As stupid as this may sound I "took a break" from religion to figure out if I actually beleive what I was taught. I questionned myself whether I was raised to believe in God or if I believe myself. Does that make sense?
Sorry I got off track.
So I was talking to this girl, and we were listening to the Barenaked Ladies, and jokily I say "is this devil music?" not expecting her to respond. In all seriousness, she basically said yes. She doesnt like 'rock 'n' roll'. Even when I brought up this song I love thats about the cross, and accepting Jesus, she said that becausae it has drums and a bass, it's Satanic. To me that's ridiculous. But she explained it. She said something about the Devil being the angel of music and he uses bass to gain access or something ya da ya da.
I just cant understand that. It's music. Who cares if someone is screaming into a microphone. They could be screaming their heart out to their God. Why does it matter that they're screaming or that there are drums in the background?
I know this is completly judgemental, but I find this girl completly close minded. Not just because of the music thing, but other things shes said and done as well. Even when I went to Youth group and church and took in every word, as blind as I was, I was still willing to accept other people and other ideas. Maybe I was not as open minded as I am now, or as I ever wish to be, but closing yourself off from a relationship due to a persons religion, past or musical taste... it just doesnt make sense.
Does this post make me close minded?
