Don't get off the topic. I have, on more than one occasion, clicked a link by the OP, only to find out it was a hidden agenda.

Religion, it has been stated, is like one's penis. I'm glad you have one. I'm glad you are proud of it. Please don't wave it around. It does not need to be shoved at anyone.

I'm a tolerant person. I do believe in God. We celebrate Christmas. I also celebrate Beltane. I want a music forum.

I know there are lots of folks using Band in a Box in their church. I have made versions of hymns for my Mom and Dad.

I was alarmed at how the OP seemed so over the top. And of course we battle the age old dilemma of sleeping the the elephant as we call it here. I have heard more gospel music HERE than anywhere else in the last 30 years. And I normally have said nothing. And I have requested that a polite note be put in with some song that has a hidden intention.

Just remember some people believe that God is going to kill you for not being one of them.
And a few others think they should just help God out and end you miserable life now.

The difference between the two is on a few days on the scale of time. Yet for now, you don't agree with the latter of the above. Ponder that for an hour.
