So, that Coheed review will come. I just need to get the time and listen to the record some more. This one is pretty full.
What shall I talk about...
I figured out what my thesis will be, but I ain't 'bout to tell you that here, nah no way.
I've always wondered why Christians are so critical. I mean, in a way other than how people normally talk about it. You take two conservative Christians and there will be one thing that the other doesn't care about and the other harps on all the time, and vice versa.
An issue can be so serious to some person, that, if you are in their presence you have to follow suit (whether they are a friend or a parent), and they will treat (but never say) other issues as things to just not worry about (things that can be considered as being ignored).
So my dad will freak about movies that have to do with drugs, and its rated PG-13. Then, there will be another movie that is historical and not having to do with drugs (just for example) and he is okay with it. In my mind, they are both the same thing. You can't say some "bad" things are worse than others.
Since when does a human define for himself when it is appropriate to start having sex and also claim to be a Christian? (and I ain't even pointing fingers, because you know where one would end up on...)
Doesn't that sound bogus?
So lets talk about people in general...why is it people will go see movies filled with all kinds of language and depravity, but they are in such protest of explicit music? Does that make any sense? I've never gotten that one, and never will I stand for it.
Why is it okay to watch movies that say fuck and shit and bitch in it, but you're sinning or at least just "filling your mind with garbage" when you listen to music that has that stuff in it. Isn't it the same thing? Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't ever argue with someone about that, because it isn't something that can be argued. Either it is all wrong, or it is all right.
Now, I mean there can be lines drawn, like people unwilling to host any sort of media that is satanic, or anything laden with drug content, or anything filled with gore, or anything that drops the F bomb, etc, but all of that has to be across the board, too, you can't make exceptions for your movies, or exceptions for your music or your books or your games...
