Elvis And Religion

Considering the time period, doesn't that put him in the majority?

Honestly, I think a person can be a good person, and still be big on drug use.

What's good for the fat, drug-addled king of rock 'n' roll is good for the drug-addled mop-topped Brit. If we are going to criticize Elvis for his faults, we cannot overlook John Lennon's.

To be fair, I rather think that calling Elvis "stupid" is going too far. I've also personally never criticized him for his drug use or eating habits, which I also disagree with. I don't consider them truly detrimental to the character that was Elvis.

But hey, screw me if I can't take a joke, right? :D
 
I think we should taking turn listing all the Christians we know one by one and see what the tipping point is for all the JREF non-believers to crack and admit the hole in their heart that only the Lord Jesus Christ can fill.

I'll start:
George W Bush.

Wow, you're so right.

George Bush is a Christian, and he has shown to be a truly great, intelligent, well-spoken, exemplar emporer... er, I mean, President. Only one that has been endowed with great abilities by a Higher Power can be all that I just listed; and as George Bush has all those abilities, that means God must exist.

Oh, the hole in my heart hurts so much... *takes some Pepto Bismal*

Ahh... better.

Obviously, you are not getting the point. Let me sum up:

Christians often claim drug use is bad, bad, bad.
DOC is holding up Elvis as an example of a Christian.
Elvis used drugs.

Hence, hypocrisy. In order to not be hypocritical, I pointed out that atheistic John Lennon also used drugs. Personally, I think if someone wants to fry their brains with drugs they should be able to.
 
Oh, and the incredibly honest and humble Jeff Fenholt, who has stretched the truth in the name of Jesus in order to claim he was in Black Sabbath.

I saw him live once when I believed. Uhh.........yeah, he's hardcore.

No, I didn't have to Google that.


Yes, I used to watch it, um, religiously.


Gotta problem with that?


On the side of "really talented, but really should stick to a simpler conversion story, like - reality" Mike Warnke.

Phil Keaggy is, AFAIK, both a good Christian and great guitarist (the legend about him and Hendrix is just that, a legend)

On the "Why would I let my worst enemy listen to them?" you have
Both Bakkers (yes, you just did Tammy, but Jimm was just as bad)
Jimmy "Sobby" Swaggart
Falwell
Ooo...does Larry Flint still count?
Pat "It was the homersexuals" Robertson
Petie Popov
Oral "No jokes please" Roberts
Kenneth Copeland
and of course, the loverly D. James Kennedy
