MTV VMA Awards 2009
September 15th, 2009 | Published in Blog
I just watched the whole 2 hours show (torrents easily search-able). I’d like to point out one event that struck me.
i’m not sure who it was, but this guy carrying an axe, worked up the crowd and led the crowd in a prayer to the Devil. Most people held hands together, doing the devil sign, mumbling along, while others really thought it was funny.
I’m not here to condemn him. I’m looking at it from another angle.
Isn’t this how most Christians who bring their friends to “house parties” or Evangelical events in disguise treat the non believer friends? Say it however you want, but in most cases, this little “bait” or seed as they call it makes people wanna go to church for the wrong reasons. How awkward is it when the pastor say “with all eyes closed, those who said the prayer (sinner’s prayer) please raise your hand and our wolves will hound on you!”
Just like dishonest salesman, I, in the strongest sense, disapprove of suckering non-believers to church. I respect your beliefs, and just hope we would respect each others beliefs as well.
Also, check out Rodney Stark’s “One True God”.
