Talk:Essay: Indian Christian culture is better than low-class atheist "culture" (view source)
Revision as of 14:15, August 3, 2011
, 14:15, August 3, 2011→This essay is against the letter of the Gospel and the spirit of ecclesiastical history: new section
:::::Explain again why atheists would need to make music about atheism? You seem to live under the misapprehension that people who don't believe in God walk around going "I'm an atheist! Must burn a church! Must abort a baby!" all day. Here's a newsflash - they don't. In fact they don't even think along those lines. They certainly don't structure their lives around listening to "atheism dance music." This is really one of your weirder dodging of the issues. Now, you still haven't explained why you're using a Hindu dancer as an illustration for Christian dancers. Finally, you think male ballet dancers lack machismo? I challenge you to go to a dance studio and attempt one session at the bar. Just one. After all, it can't be that hard for somebody with as much machismo as you. I bet you $500 that you will not last 10 minutes in a full ballet workout.

:::::Besides, I would have thought that all music that doesn't meet Christian norms would be "atheistic". ABBA certainly did not sing about Christian morals, ergo their music must have been atheistic. Also "atheism dance music" is horrendous English. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 09:40, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

== This essay is against the letter of the Gospel and the spirit of ecclesiastical history ==
I am surprised to see this essay equating slimness with godliness. For wasn't Thomas Aquinas, a saint and arguably the most important Christian of the second millennium (him or St Francis I would imagine), so corpulent that he was nicknamed "the ox of God"? Additionally, why not pay some heed to Matthew 15:11 - it isn't what you eat that makes you a good or a bad person, it's your actions. Judging someone immoral, or even ridiculing them, because you perceive them to be obese, would seem to go directly against Christ's teaching on this point.
If this Mr Gillette is such a bad man (I haven't really heard of him) then by all means highlight or even "satirise" his actions, but the Christian thing to do, in my view, is to leave his appearance alone.
Or if you must cloud the "debate" by dragging in superficial irrelevancies, at the very least, to post a photo or drawing of yourself so that observers are able to make equivalent judgements of you would seem fair.--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 10:15, 3 August 2011 (EDT)
