But is that would Jesus would say?
TIMTTMY gets a right grilling, apparently the Manics are preaching moral relativism and this is dangerous as it leads to paedophilia if followed to it's logical conclusion. An album which is a barrier to biblical absolutism. edit: I am horribly paraphrasing this bit, but moral absolutism in a religious form does make me fume edit 2: Well worth reading more of the site, Kid A gets a good look in.

OMG what is this.
The questions are brilliant. "Royal Correspondent is about the media (the fourth estate) that earns a living pursuing royalty. What does this song have to say about the role of the media in society? How are Christians represented in the media?" I like this one for just shoehorning Christians in with no relevance. "Read Romans 3:23 and Ephesians 2:1-3. The Manic Street Preachers are saying that globalisation and Americanisation have cause many problems. How would we go about telling people that the fundamental problem of the world is sin and evil, which is inherent in all of us?" err okay. "Read the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8. How do you think the band and their fans would define justice? How does this compare with the Biblical view of justice?" Shall we all send them our definitions of justice instead of them judging it? We can troll or be real, either sounds fun. |

We're writing a collective essay on these points at the meet-up.

I don't think this is all that strange or funny, I mean why shouldn't or wouldn't people with strong religious beliefs want to bounce ideas and contemplation off various cultural media? They have 'Preachers' in their name and released an album called The Holy Bible, it's not exactly as if they are the most arbitrary, random-seeming band to look at through a Christian lens!
Having said all that, remember that the humble banana surely proves the existence of the Manics. I know this, because they drew red bananas on the photo on the back of The Holy Bible's CD cover: It's that kind of iconography that blows a hole in the ideas of people like Richard Dawkins. You can't argue with a banana. I know, I've tried! It _ didn't _ even _ respond.
