religion is used to test trust, loyalty and honesty of people...
but religion is a 'for males only' thing | |

jkj10 said: Will Prince ever cut that God crap?...
Am I right? Am I wrong? and you may say to yourself "My God..."Just as convinced as Prince is that ther's a God,I'm convinced ther isn't any,so don't bother me with that "God is love,love is God"crap.. You won't hear me sing :"girls and boys,please don't love God above" He should give himself more credit for what he's done,instead of giving all the credits to God.. But I guess it's a part of American culture,giving thanks to God on your albums..Am I wrong? --------

ChaosMage said: I don't really have the right to say that Prince is "too religious" because, well... it's his life and his music and he can be however he wants to be or feels like he should be. Besides, he doesn't really care what I think, nor should he.
Personally though, I can say for sure that I would like Prince (and his music) more if he wasn't so overtly religious. Even if he doesn't, I have earlier albums I can always listen to instead. My feelings exactly. Sometimes Prince does go overboard with the God stuff. I'm not a believer, but I respect others' faiths. Just don't hit me over the head with it. I don't listen to Prince for a Sunday morning sermon - I listen for the funk. So I just weed out the stuff that annoys me. |

Well...I think his spiritual side seems to be honest now. It´s strange how everyhting related to Christian values is classified as ´cheesy´ while other kinds of faith aren´t. If Madonna goes buddhist or studies the Kabalah, everyone thinks it´s cool. If Richard Gere turns buddhist, it´s nice. But when someone starts reading the Bible....is qualified as ´dumb´ or ´corny´, etc.
I am glad that Prince is in such a good phase of his life...he seems to be happier, more down to earth, focusing more on his music and less on gimmicks and androgyny...I am quite happy with him now. |

mzflash said: A man's religion is his own decision. If Prince can use his belief in God to multiply sales and at the same time get the word out that he is a spiritual man then that's good business.
What has bothered me about his religious quest is the way it's alienated some fans. Prince can make such powerful music and in the past it oozed with love in the inclusion of everyone. Love is large enough that it has the capacity to encompass everyone. Lately it feels like in some of Prince's new music that "love" can/will only be shared with certain ones. I admit it. I miss the loving feeling that Prince gave to us in his earlier music. It was a beam of light, a ray of hope. I'm holding out, sure that one day, love will find a way. on the money props 2 a true funk soldier! |

Believing in God and spiritual things is great,but putting any religious organization on a pedestal and making them the "source" of truth is dangerous and setting oneself up for deception,disillusionment,and self-righteousness. Anyone that says you have to be a Mormon, a JW, a Catholic,a Christian Scientist, a Kabbalist,etc to have the "truth" or to be a true believer has already gone down the wrong road. God's name unfortunately has become a tool by religious organizations to use for political means, self-exaltation,and control. Is it any wonder why Jesus seemed to hang out with mostly non-religious people. If He walked the earth today,most religious organizations would stone Him. | |

Absolutely.
Look, the cursing was one thing. And being best buds with Larry G is another. And I can even overlook some of the latest "women should walk in the path..." statements. But abstaining from using Toilet paper? He's gone too far.  | |

- Agreed...that´s the reason I believe spirituality is different from religion. Religious people can be dangerous... |

Prince has always been spiritual. BUT -for years and years this spirituality was very inclusive, there was room for everybody. More recently it's been fairly exclusive, like he's drawing a line in the sand and seperating the believers from the non-believers.
I find it sad when anyone does this, not just Prince.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Personally though, I can say for sure that I would like Prince (and his music) more if he wasn't so overtly religious. Almost all of my favorite Prince moments are pre-JW. Since then he's been kind of annoying in the same way that lots of religious people are. If Rainbow Children had different lyrics then I would consider it a great album, because the music is good. His religion doesn't spoil everything for me though. Illusion, Coma Pimp & Circumstance is one of the best Prince songs ever, and that's brand new with no swearing. Sure, if I had my way then I would prefer he not be so pro-Jesus, but he's still super-funky. In the end, that's what really matters from my perspective. As long as he stays funky, I remain a fan. Even if he doesn't, I have earlier albums I can always listen to instead. [Edited 10/25/04 13:25pm] Dude, my sentiments exactly. I LOVED the music on the Rainbow Children. Funky, jazzy sophisticated but the lyrics, my God....oops! I'm just waiting for pendulum of extreme religion comes crashing back down. That's when he'll perform as raunchy and scantily clad as ever. Hey, I just thought of something. Why hasn't Prince written a song called Scantily Clad.....I'll be right back.....

AsianConnection said: Ya'll have to understand that the 'JW' believe that that's what they are suppose to do. "WITNESS" I'ts obvious that is very important to him and is taking his religion seriously. He knows that pleasing GOD is more important than pleasing us.
IMHO God doesn't require pleasing. | |
