Elvis And Religion

DOC said:
Well, Walter Mathau disagrees about him being a bad actor.

Oh, well, if Walter Matthau says so....

And if he was so bad, why did they keep making so many movies with him.

For the same reason they keep making movies with Tom Cruise. He brings in the money.

And Jim Morrison died obese and a drug user but nobody ever says much about that.

Nobody says much about Elvis, either. Well, outside of Memphis, anyway.

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.

Er...So what?

I still don't get what your point is, DOC.

Well then, you should be happy I posted the threads in post #60. And by the way, your use of the word stupid is a violation of Randi's rules on civility.

No, doing stupid things is uncivil. Pointing stupid actions out to the people that commit them in the hopes that they will better themselves is civility.
 
You know DOC , you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel when you're dredging up dead rock stars to lend credibility to your Bible-beating.

Pitiful really.

I don't see the logic either.
  1. Elvis Presley used Christian themes in his music.
  2. ? ? ?
  3. Ergo: Christianity is right.
This has got to be one of the lamest Appeals To Authority in the history of rhetoric. The only thing that could possibly be more pathetic would be... oh... citing James K. Kennedy as an authority on U.S. History.

So did DOC ever tell us why we should care that Elvis was an Xian?

Seriously, DOC, please answer the following question:

SO WHAT?
 
Reading through all of this, I have to say, that finally,

(.... best Marjoe Gortner voice...)

I have seen THE LIGHT!

If Elvis was a Christian, then by all things I hold dear, well I'll be a Christian, too! And so shall you all if you just open your hearts and let the spirit of The King (not King of Kings) into your lives!

Speak to me, brethren! Can somebody give me an "Amen"? Please??!! I am touched by the hand of The King!

Why wasn't it Elvis who cut his hair and joined the army? And didn't we all follow him?

And didn't we all marry a virginal teenager? C'mon, Testify, brother!

Didn't we all forget our roots and sell out for a million bucks for every B-Film we could crank out.

I know I personally spent ages trying to get it on with Juliet Prowse and Ann-Margaret. It was The King who pointed the way. The King, I tell you! Not my pubescent lust!

Haven't we all been wearing white jumpsuits with sparkling studs on them, accesorized by red scarves for the last thirty years?

Don't you want to have a bunch of worthless unemployed hangers-on to cruise downtown Memphis with in you Caddie Convertibles?

Don't you keep loaded guns in your rec room and shoot out the TV, now and then? ([idiot mode off] Well, okay, we all want to do that from time to time. [/idiot mode off])

Don't you all keep a healthy supply of barbiturate-and-speed cocktails in the fridge? Say, "Ye-es!"

I have turned from my evil atheist ways. The King showed me the way, and he will show it to you. Stand up. Be counted in the Court of The King.

Amen, brother!

C'mon! Somebody give me an "Amen"!

Which, given that horrific cover of "Got my mind set on you" with the completely horrific accompanying video for it, is evidence for DOC's point.
