Desertflower said: To live with God is inner peace
Moses lived in the desert  here here to Desert's response. Moses was quite a philosopher as well... trained and educated in the Egyptian Palaces as an egyptian prince....before he left... then became known as "friend of God". I think he was able to receive that title ...in part because he was quite a philospher and was able to reason, descern, and comprehend....concepts...with or about God. just my two cents worth....

I think this question is unfair. And could easily degenerate into an attack on Prince's relgious and or spiritual beliefs. No one has the right to do that.
Everyone has the right to seek God or their own spiritual belief system ... or not seek... as we each and invidually see fit. Because eternity is forever and no one else has the right to decide for another person what that other person should do with the rest of their own destination/place in eternity. And that goes for everybody - even those choose not to believe in anything at all. furthermore, I don't care for the tone of this question for a 2nd reason the overall implication of the question would suggest that any individual must make Prince their personal god, or be at odds with...and not permitted to enjoy this man's artistry faith between the Living God and an individual is sacred and deeply personal and not subject to the will, whims and approval of man at large. someone else here somewhere posted that they thought Prince's music suffered as Prince drew nearer God. I think that statement ... is manipulative to say the least. Besides ...for those who obviously don't know... the highest calling of music ..its truest calling has always been to call the presence of the Living God. Some call Jehovah, some call Jehovah Ra. He has many names ...each serve a purpose. Even the stars in night sky sing. Even they make music for the heavenly One...Jehovah...or as I call Him, the Living God. That is a mere portion of what I not only believe and but know to be true. It is not subject to anyone else's approval or disapproval. One should not put that kind of faith in man...any man. Put your faith in God ..if your inclined to have any faith at all. The question posed manipulates the entire concept of faith...in that regard. It is not good. Therefore, I refuse to attempt to bend Prince's will, regarding his faith in the Living God He has a right to be free and independant in spirit in his faith...between he and God the Father....without interference or harrassment from any one. I think we should respect Prince's undeniable right to follow his own heart to believe in ... subscribe to...what seems true and good to him regarding his spiritality...and what he chooses to do with the rest of his own eternity. On those grounds, I decline to respond to any catagory of choice... as presented in this question. It's an improper question and I think its unfair. peace.

Disciple status would require you devote yourself completely to Prince's teachings and forsake all your friends, family and earthly belongings to live by his side and spread his message to the lost and fallen. You live on a diet of truth, music, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. You have a specific hygeine regimen in which you bathe in castile soap and rub down with shea butter, lavender and almond oil so that the lost and fallen can smell you coming. Member status would require you to attend his church on a frequent basis, abide by his church vows (be faithful to him and respect his word as final), take heed his weekly sermons, and service your community. Other than that, you get to do what you like as long as it doesn't bring him any grief. If you wish to become a disciple you have to be baptized and must undergo a 7 month long training. Critic status would require you forego any delusions you have about being his lover, friend, or business associate. You get absolutely no freebies (concert tickets, t-shirts, bootlegs, fansite access or perfume samples). You cannot fraternize with members under any circumstance. If you wish to join the church you must first go through one of the disciples for cleansing and re-education. As a critic, however, you can say whatever the fuck you want when you want about any member or disciple. You also get weekly doses of clarity, reason and a month supply of stones and ready made poop balls. 
So????? Which one will you be? [Edited 8/30/09 21:33pm] edited twice for typo's [Edited 8/31/09 6:24am] this is the time of the first fast. | |

Hear ye all, especially you Lotus2unfld. Interpret how you wish but keep in mind that MY INTENTION was not to dismiss Prince having any kind of religious belief nor to suggest that anyone should worship Prince; although some of y'all clearly do. 
This question merely examines the what if: What if Prince had his own church? In what capacity would you follow him or would you follow him at all? Most religious groups either have disciples, members or critics so that's why I put in the 3 categories. This is the org and no one here can make anybody do anything with regard to their religious beliefs or their admiration/idolization of Prince. This thread is all in fun (come on...castile soap and supply of  hello). If you gotta take it to the level of defending Prince's current religious affiliation, trying to argue for or against the existence of God, or trying to turn Prince into God then you just missed the point and need to take a  pill.
With that said. I'm adding a new category. Affirmation Profit! You are a member who often gets the boot because you have a hard time getting a leg up on your routine community service. Because of your unique position (both in and out), you come up with all the daily affirmations for The Church of Princetology. 
So...where are you profits and what's the affirmation for today?  | |

What if Prince implants you so he can read your mind, know your secrets and truth and deter you from thinking that is not to his liking. What if he had the ability to zap electrical currents through you if you are not in line with his will. Cause you immense pain through electricity. Are you still a follower? | |
