how would you feel about Prince adopting a new religion?

I've been coming to this site for a little while and recently people have been making references to lotus flowers and buddhism, so I just thought I'd start a thread to see how you would feel if Prince decided to experiment with buddhism...

to me it is one of the only religions close to the Lovesexy message way back then...

call me an old fool ;p

I'm sure there's a few ladies here who wouldnt mind in the least if he paid a visit to their "pulpits" and worshipped their "holy grail" as apparently only the Prince of Sex knows how...

It's his choice. Period.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It's his choice of course, but upon thinking it over,
it's a cool concept...I'd certainly have no problem with that.

I also see what you mean by it's one of the religions close
to the Lovesexy message.

You may be an old fool, but at least a "thinking" old fool... :>)

As long as he identifies with it and his old songs and lyrics too, I'd be happy. I don't care which religion he choses, I'm into his music, but that includes Days Of Wild and Face Down with original lyrics for example lol

And there we have it, kids.

I don't think the majority of fans give two figs what religious practice lil lady chooses to follow. It's the self-censoring that comes along with his interpretation of a certain faith that bugs the shit out of people IMO.

Yeah, I agree. I just don't like the exclusivity involved when he pushes forward specific doctrinal beliefs so often. The less he does that, the happier I am when listening to his new songs.

I mean, seriously, denying evolution in the year 2009? Jesus holy fuck, Prince!

Every religion pisses me off. If he became an agnostic, i would have much more respect for him as a person.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think that passage means anything at all, nevermind anti-evolutionism. confuse

But if that is what he intended with it? disbelief

He can become a Zoroastrian as far as I am concerned, as long as he keeps putting out good music.

Well, the purpose of the song is him introducing and thus denouncing all societal ills as what he sees as the main issues that hold us back from spiritual liberation.

The last part of that lyric is an allusion to the old creationism argument that something cannot derive from nothing.
