I remember an atheist in a comment section asking Christians like this why they don’t just stop going to church because he said as an atheist I know the Bible has some clear rules and standards, if you want to ignore those then fine but why demand that the church change everything to appeal to you
True. I guess I meant since living in the west you have people who honestly think slavery is an American or British invention. It would be interesting to see such a series so at least some people can get some perspective. Granted if the western world simply said it happened move on. That would be helpful too
Pretty much any musician has taken inspiration from somewhere. Full disclosure: I love Elvis’s music and have everything by him and am planning to visit Graceland. To me if you were to say you invented something or didn’t give credit where it’s due then that is stealing. Elvis frequently talked about his influences from black and white musicians. His first two songs were a cover of a blues song and a bluegrass song.
By this logic Howlin Wolf and Mississippi John Hurt “stole” music because they were greatly influenced by Jimmie Rodgers. Or how many rap songs sampled past music?
I go to a conservative Lutheran church and hate to say you are right, although it is growing in Africa and Asia.
