The New Neal Morse Appreciation Thread

Not bitter at all, just interested in 'truth' and awake.  Drop God/Jesus from your worldview and really think about why you believe what you believe.  The implications of Morse's claims are insidious and dangerous, not to mention naive.  This kind of delusion must be confronted at all costs.  Morse and you simplify life's issues to a point of absolute ridiculousness and willful ignorance.  The fact that you are basing your world views on an ancient storybook is absurd as are Morse's lyrics.  And you take absolutely no responsibility for the implications of your beliefs.  I can understand delusion though.  It really does keep folks from seeing what is really going on, but the flip side is that it turns people into mindless followers of nothing and emotional reactionaries when it comes to the issues that are killing the human race...war, hunger, health care.  If God is all powerful, then why do these things happen.  And if he does allow these things to happen, then he is most certainly not worthy of any worship.  It's all a house of cards.  Life is now, here, people are suffering.  

Originally posted by zumacraig A Morse bashing thread would probably get deleted.  So here we are.  I guess I shouldn't care about what Morse's lyrics are.  I used to be more of a 'live and let live' kind of person.  However, I can't keep quiet when delusion prevails in art, discussion etc.  Dismissing my post as uninteresting and unintelligent is predictable.  I made controversial comments.  If that's not interesting, then what is?  Talking about how passionate Neal is?  Passionately delusional.  He's sticking with the fundamentalism because he makes money off of it.  For many, it doesn't hold up for long because reality is hard to ignore.  Just take a minute and take Neal's assertions about his daughter to their logical conclusion.  Hint, god saved only his kid that day?  What about all the rest of the kids who died that day?  That is where I start not from the assumption that the god of the bible is real and nice.  He's quite an unstable god in the great books.

I'm personally staying away until we get back to the music.

Incidentally, I wasn't really surprised when Neal 'went christian'.  lots of his music had a kind of spiritual yearning and looking for a savior.  The Light, The Great Nothing, Snow, Doorway. The guy can write hooks in his sleep and I'll be interested how the new TA takes shape.

Originally posted by AlexDOM Originally posted by Morsenator I'd love to get Momentum live, but it's currently like 36€ in every store I've noticed which I decided, even for being probably a kick ass dvd from my favourite artist is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a single thing  I think I'm gonna wait until the prices drop a third or something. I did check out the songs on his YT channel when he posted them and almost hurt my neck during The Conflict PROGGIN HARD!!!

Yep. By the way that is one cool avatar you got there

Originally posted by zumacraig Okay, does anyone care to speculate on what the new TA will be like.
