Thoughts and Prayers: The Religion Thread

Drama queens would've drama'd if I put this on the thread I wanted to.

Bob Dylan Q&A about “The Philosophy of Modern Song” | The Official Bob Dylan Site

I’ve binge watched Coronation Street, Father Brown, and some early Twilight Zones. I know they’re old-fashioned shows, but they make me feel at home. I’m not a fan of packaged programs, or news shows, so I don’t watch them. I never watch anything foul smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting; nothing dog ass. I’m a religious person. I read the scriptures a lot, meditate and pray, light candles in church. I believe in damnation and salvation, as well as predestination. The Five Books of Moses, Pauline Epistles, Invocation of the Saints, all of it.

 

Wonder how this ad played in Texas.

 

Thou shalt not watch anything dog ass.

From the Book of Dylan.

 

Not sure why anyone would be upset. This has been pretty well and widely known for a while.

Bob Dylan finds God – a classic article from the vaults

How Bob Dylan embraced Jesus in a born-again period lasting 3 years

 

Not upset. Surprised. Didn't know any of the things from those links.

The entire interview is a bit too ... canned ... be-boppy and 22-skidoo ... before the surprise that Mr. Zimmermann goes to church.

The new priest here at the 177-year-old Episcopalian church, St. Peter's, is a Bar Mitzvah with a husband. Anyone can be anything these days.

 

Unlikely that you understood the part you bolded.

 

Very likely true.

 

I would’ve given that guy a loud and hardy STFU! from across the room.

 

Allahu Akbar, MFKer!!
