Tom Petty is a really good song writer and musician. I like
that he is speaking out on issues even more. He has blasted the Catholic Church
and Christians for supporting war and violence in our society. I like the idea
of seeing him as an alternative to Ted Nugent. Nugent gives rock and roll a bad
name and reputation.
I heard on a radio station the other night that he blasted
the idea of pop culture idols who won their fame in a game show. He is right.
Such stupidity makes a fool of those who learned through trial and error to
develop a style of music, singing and song writing. Shows such as American Idol
have bastardized our pop culture. -Otto
Could Tom Petty be the counterbalance to Ted Nugent that many
Americans have been looking for? It certainly seems that way considering the
Heartbreaker blasted the Catholic Church and so-called “Christians” who aren’t
acting very Christ-like in a recent interview with Billboard magazine…..
…..The
legendary rocker talked a
great deal about religion during the interview, pondering why those of the
Catholic faith still give money to the Church knowing that it’s being used to
shield pedophile priests or cover up their crimes. “I’m fine with whatever
religion you want to have,” Petty told the publication.
Petty then went on to criticize
alleged Christians who thirst for war and defend killing people like
conservative “Christians” do today.
Religion seems to me to be at the
base of all wars. I’ve nothing against defending yourself, but I don’t think,
spiritually speaking, that there’s any conception of God that should be telling
you to be violent. It seems to me that no one’s got Christ more wrong than the
Christians.
The Catholic Church has been rocked
for decades by the massive pedophile priest scandal that has resulted in
thousands of molested and abused children around the globe. The image of the
Church has taken a major hit over the years because of it, but they still rake
in the cash from Catholics who seem not to care that their money is helping the
Church prevent victims from getting justice.
Meanwhile, Conservative “Christians”
here in America are bloodthirsty. They support perpetual war, guns everywhere,
and senseless violence. The current border crisis involving refugee children
has revealed conservative “Christians” for what they really are as they hurl
racial epithets and threaten violence against them in the most un-Christ-like
manner. In addition, conservative “Christians” want to punish poor people
severely by taking food stamps and health care away from them, which is
something else that Jesus wouldn’t do.
