I could be wrong, but I see this as a desperate attempt for attention. I believe it's called attention whoring. (I heard Jesus was okay with whores, the regular kind. Not sure about this kind.)

If you mean "okay" with them by meaning approaching them to tell them to knock if off and move on to something good, it would be the same with this kind. His message was consistently consistent: stop sinning; it will end in personal destruction. You--whoever you are--were made for better and higher things.

Absolutely on what Jesus would mean by "okay." And, admittedly, it's not the highest thing to joke about sinning of any kind, but I think Jesus would be okay with that, too. :-)

Personally I think He would get a kick out of it. After all, we are made in God's image and we love to laugh.

Nope: that's just what the bible claims. Yeshua did not recognise sin. Instead he taught forgiveness, especially of oneself, for all mistakes, and hence the undoing of the ego. His partner Mary Magdalene was no whore, but Yeshua's spiritual equal... which doesn't mean that he or she condemned whores or anyone else: far from it. Does this mean that they had far more in common with Donald Trump than with the ludicrous Ronnie and the Apparatchiks? I'd say so.

"That's just what the bible claims." As a friend of mine was fond of saying, "I followed you right up to the word 'just.'"

What a joke. How would they even know who anyone voted for. You’d have to come through the gate and be super honest if they asked you, I guess. I’m willing to bet their music sucks anyway.

After clicking the link to see if I ever heard their one hit wonder I was dismayed to realize I just added to their YouTube views. Gah

Watch out for Al Gore Rhythm! Way back in the day (like 10 years ago) there was an article titled "My Tivo thinks I'm gay" wherein the author complained that because he watched something like "queer eye for the straight guy" once or something on Bravo that his Tivo started filling up with programming it thought was similar. Watch enough baby goat videos on Youtube and the suggestions will start trending that way. For the record, baby goats are the cutest animals in the world and Sunflower Farms Creamery (no affiliation) has amazing content. Enjoy!

How can I THANK YOU ENOUGH, St. Alia, for putting yet-another-temptation out there for me (Midget wrestling)? You really should think of others when you (Dwarf tossing) post things like that (Brides playing donkey basketball). Please try to be (Youtube shorts) more considerate.

[Thanks for liking this, St. A. I'm always anxious when I "hang one out there" like this: edgy I mean, and worry it'll offend rather than outrage--I mean tickle (it's just I thought I had an 'o' thing goin for a second).]

Yes, curiosity motivated me to look up their "hit" on Spotify and listen to a few seconds and glance at the lyrics. Completely forgettable!

By being idiots they have perhaps gained a few seconds of fame and will enjoy a momentary jump in "hits" but soon they will return to being obscure untalented musicians (with moronic hateful ideas).

Omgawd! 😳. Me, too!!! Yuck! Now I think Spotify wants to send me more of the same! 🙀. I just wanted to know what I was going to comment on!

Music has been my passion for as long as I can remember…that’s even how my parents pacified me as a baby…. My range depends on my mood, but I can honestly say that that groups “noise” wouldn’t ever make ANY of my playlists!

At first I thought it might be some Christian rock group…. But THAT wouldn’t ring true…actual Christians who follow Jesus’ word don’t “hate” on others.

I kinda really think his bizarre rant was more of a (oh gosh I’m having a brain fart!….) A play or ploy to get media attention to sell more music…or perhaps (by his appearance?) he’s tired, sleep deprived, and delusional that anyone cares? He’s not actually the poster boy for health, but that’s just MY observation.

I didnt hear anything from that group that sent me into a state of “harmony, connectedness or peacefulness…”, but to each their own! I found it painful (to my ears and nervous system!) to try to listen/watch the “Face Down” video!

(Searching for emoji that’s plugging their ears!)

I'd go with "delusional".

Now, take some time and search for OTHER music on Spotify to drown it out so Spotify doesn't try to recommend you more of that crap.

You wouldn't have to "ask" at the gate; there are all kinds of ways to tell them apart from their disparate behaviors. Leaving it as a fun exercise for the class to suggest "How to tell a Trump supporter from a Kamaladen supporter at the gate of a rock concert." (Starter example: paste a HARRIS/WALZ campaign poster ON-THE-GROUND, DIRECTLY UNDER THE TURNSTILE, and watch who walks through like a normal human being and who demands it be removed and placed back on the altar.)

Wow, this guy invented a new form of stupid. No one ever heard of this band so he's banning majority of Americans from his concert. Yeah, guy, way to go to promote your band, make lots of money and be loved by the public - NOT!

Meanwhile, Jenna creates a new home-run hit and writes a stupendously hilarious article, winning the hearts of the many people who read her. It's been a helluva week this past week, and I really needed some laughs. So thank you, Jenna, sending lots of love to you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Pontificating about Jesus from some clown who has either never read the Bible, or if he did, thoroughly didn’t understand what it says. His understanding of Christianity is apparently limited to inscriptions he reads on a bumper sticker or on one of aunt Karens coffee mugs.

I didn’t read it as “snarky,” but genuine curiosity. We have become so used to the heavy material being covered these days, keeping us in a state of tightened sphincters, that it’s mesmerizing to us that anyone has time for using an entire Substack article for comical fodder. It was a fair question with fair answers. Lol

My kids (and I by proximity) used to listen to groups I had never heard of. Like Jupiter Sunrise, Copeland, Twothirtyeight, Modest Mouse, Mutemath and others. This one, they had never heard of. How obscure is that? I'm wondering what delusional universe prompted him to hit record?

This goes to show just how thoroughly and completely liberals believe the fake narrative: that the majority of the nation is secretly behind them. He really thought this would up his ticket sales. He believed so much in the narrative that the “masses” are behind his message he didn’t even blink before stepping off the cliff. 🤣

We should all drop to our knees and pray that God delivers 3/4 of a crowd that brings Trump banners and hats, WWJD shirts, and maybe some actual words from the Bible plastered all over billboard-sized signs and sing praises louder than the band. 😜
