uh no shout to the lord on american idol is NOT OK.
dammit i have to post about this because no one else is.
american idol had their “charity” portion last night, and they closed it out with “shout to the lord.” WHAT THE FUCK. i find it hard to believe that all of the people currently on that show are christian. and if they are not all christian, why would they be okay with this?
not only that but PEOPLE are okay with it. i was looking on the internet to see if there was any controversy about it, and most of the comments are more along the lines of, “WOW THAT WAS SURPRISING, BUT GREAT! JESUS IS LOVE! I LOVE GOD! GOD GOD GOD! PRAISE THE LORD!”
you are all fucking idiots.
some quotes…
“Please christians, be amazed that God was given honor on national TV, not that 2 words were changed, get over yourself and be grateful!! God can use anything and I cried when I heard those terrific young singers sing about my Lord!!” — SOME BLOG SITE
“I agree Coleygirl! YES most know this song is about our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST! Praise GOD for a number one TV Show that is proud to PRAISE his name! Plus the best Singers ever have come out of GOSPEL MUSIC! Hooray for AMERICAN IDOL !” — YOUTUBE
*insert some other quote that was even better, about how we don’t know the earth is more than a million years old blahblahblah… youtube isn’t allowing me to find it again*
“I have been a big Idol fan, but now, I think I will boycott the show. If I don’t, what kind of example am I setting for my children? Its not lukewarm, it is wolves in sheeps clothing trying to dilute, devalue,re-direct focus, blasphemy……….Oprah kind of religion. I don’t think some of the contestants even thought about this…….? Its a free country,I know, but “Christ followers” must listen to the Holy Spirit when these events occur and know that this is not Christ Jesus that is beng praised. Its “whatever” God you believe in. I am very disappointed, but not surprised. If I was a Idol contestant and professed myself as a “Christ follower”, believe that Jesus is God and he is the only way to salvation through repentment, commitment, and belief……….I could have never sang the song the way they did.” <-- CHRISTIAN WHO IS UNHAPPY THAT "JESUS" WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE SONG AND REPLACED WITH "SHEPARD"
“Alpha, Omega, begining, and end, Savior Messaiah, Redeemer and Friend, Prince of Peace. Only one can say that. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. And think. All you have to do is accept Him, believe in Him, and surrender your life to Him. We have it easy. He DIED for us.” <-- YOUTUBE
THESE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING INSANE.
