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 really wouldn't care. That's his business, not mine.

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...

I would feel the same as I do about his current religion. His choice.

it doesnt matter what hes into really ...as long they share the same values

I think it´s a personal and private choice, I´m ok if he feels better that´s the matter

buddhists probably have nothing against men who wear high heels.

It's his choice. Period.

I'd feel much better if he dropped it altogether

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... :>)

Who cares.

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

we all must find our own place in this universe. Whatever gets him thru the night.

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.

Didn't he do that already?

Whatever...

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!

PurpleKnight said:

When'd he do that?

I'd love 2 see Mr P do some xploring in2 Buddhism and Taoism as it could broaden his mind...

There's a mountain and people of different religious views r just climbing 2 the top from diffrent sides..

Peace and <3

y'all need a damn job

Here's wats gonna happen on the org if Prince changes religion...
people are gonna go into a frenzy and never stop talkin about it...just like wats happenin now that he's with JW.

"Upload the evolution principle
You see a rock on the shore and say
It’s always been there"

From Colonized Mind.

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.

But if that is what he intended with it?

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

meow85 said:

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.

i think it would be cool if he at least just got a grip.

i still wanna smack him for the that "i dont want to fix my hip cause it'll offend jahova" bullshit.
liltle dude needs some bitchsmaking thats for sure
