Elvis And Religion

DOC said:
Well, Walter Mathau disagrees about him being a bad actor. And if he was so bad, why did they keep making so many movies with him.

And Jim Morrison died obese and a drug user but nobody ever says much about that. Elvis outlived him and Hendrix by 15 years and Elvis probably played hundreds of more live performances then them, not to mention all the movies.

Ozzy Osbourne outlived all of them... which means Satan is Supreme!!
 
Yes, he was a fat, drug-addled, adulterous, pedophile BUT he was a Christian who made many popular movies and outlived Jim Morrison. Therefore, we should all be Christians.


At least, I think this is the moral of this thread.
 
I wonder which of the other 10 commandments Elvis broke? I'm sure I read somewhere about him performing on Sundays (unless you read Sabbath to mean Saturday, in which case I will guarantee he did not keep that holy!). Anyone else?
 
You might be able to argue that he stole (thou shalt not steal) from blues artists who could not be popular due to the racism of the day.

Kind of a dumb "moral", isn't it?

No, Elvis wasn't perfect, but I'm kinda of glad so many of you are trashing him -- its bad public relations for the atheist side.

Why is "telling the truth" against your personal beliefs? Why don't you value honesty?

No, somehow DOC thinks that Elvis is OK for doing those things, but we're evil for bringing them up.

....no, I don't get it either.

I'm not trashing him because he was Christian. I'm trashing him because he was a drug-addled, adulterous pedophile. Personally, I would never admire such a person nor would I use that person as an example of a good Christian. I guess you have different standards than me.
 
Okay, let’s see...

So we have two Presleys of Scientology, one Osborne of Satanism, an Elvis of Christianity, and a Lennon of atheism.

We'll just pull out our calculator... multiply those... carry the pi... integrate with respect to the thingie... cancel the units, and.... All right. As anyone can plainly see, Lennon is way tipping the scale. I mean, Norwegian Wood, for crying out loud!
 
Oh hell, John Lennon was a drug-addled adulterer. Hardly a sterling example of an atheist. Although he wasn't a pedophile as far as I know.

I hate to be a pedant, but did you include the Plastic Ono Band factor?

I will admit that of the bunch, Lennon is the most talented musician.

(Not that I have any idea of why DOC would think that talent matters in a moral discussion, nor why he would think Elvis best represents either talent or morality . . .)
