Prince's stance on Politics lately prince has been discussing politics. It appears that politics is slippery when talked about. But all that I can say is that we should pray for is our government. Sounds like we all have so much to say. when the best thing to do is pray. | |

You're free to pray if you want to, but I'd rather put my faith in action. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

no. What the fuck is a horse anyways? It looks like a really deformed beaver. You should probably pay more attention to these types of things.

Well, prayer is pointless for starters: http://prince.org/msg/105/309124 Socondly, these days Princes' views on politics are at best simplistic and at worst, naive, uneducated and embarressing. I would advise you to look elsewhere for your political opinion. "It is an established maxim and moral that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false is guilty of falsehood, and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him"

I doubt that Prince is praying for the government. Well, maybe praying that Armageddon will come and destroy all the governments and turn all unbelievers into bird food. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

This. Prince is among those gleefully awaiting the end of the world instead of doing anything meaningful to repair it. For apocalyptists, the deterioration of our planet is good news, as it means a heavenly paradise is not far behind. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I'm with you on this. I hate when he speaks of politics. Because of his JW teachings, I find his politics laughable. | |

Prince is all about immanentizing the eschaton.

Obama and his ilk are, too. The only difference is that the former believes in it from a religious perspective and the latter thinks it's government's job to do it.  NOT.
I love to help the helpless. I don't care about the clueless. And, I'm happy I have been ordained by Jesus to be the decider of which is which. | |

except their immanentizing of the eschaton just becomes some sort of brave new world with a grand inquisitor to graciously fawn over for a 1000 years. [Edited 6/5/09 10:06am] Welcome to the New World Odor and

I was watching the video on Travis Smiley and heard Prince talking about why he did not vote. He said he did not mind criticism as long as you said why. I do not believe in the Jehovah Witness because I think it takes a lot of your rights away. If you are sick you can not get a blood transfusion that may save your life. I will not let anyone tell me to not to do something in order to live a longer life. I had an aunt that died because she refused. It was a shame because she left her children here to defend themselves without a mother. I vote because the black race went through so much to be able to have the same rights. I will not let a religion tell me what I can or can not do. The bible is a book that takes spiritual guidance in order to understand. You can find a verse in the bible that states to pray in the closet and I had a friend that always prayed in the closet. That scripture means not to pray like the hypocrites did where people can praise you for all your fancy words. You can pray to God as a child and he will respect it just as well as someone using intelligent words. You do not have to impress God for him to hear you. Just my thought about the situation. | |

Pray first, then prayer leads to the right action. | |
