yes, a lot of “Church singing” is ridiculously negative, all doom and gloom, with people “speaking” or “singing” the most dreadful possible of futures down on themselves, BUT . . . . .
If they WANT to do that, then it is their choice to do so — but not any more if they are in California. The problem with so much of church singing is that even if the sounds appeal to people, the WORDS are man-made. They come out of often pessimistic and negative human hearts, hearts whose sentiments often contradict the positive exhortations (Faith) of Christianity’s Messiah and Saviour. (“JC”). Not everything sung is negative, but a LOT of it, maybe MOST of it IS negative.
The Psalms are a LOT better, since the level of Divine input and inspiration in them is WAY higher than that of “western theology”. So Jewish synagogues with more “Psalm singing” than Christian congregations go in for, are probably singing a lot more positive stuff.
But if the synagogue is in California, there is to be NO SINGING there either, just like in Christian churches.
Yup, last week, California Governor Newsom BANNED singing in churches, and in synagogues.
And just so as the Moslems did not miss out, they are not allowed to sing either.
This level of hatred for religion, whatever the concocted pretext, goes beyond hatred for religion. It is driven by hatred for the God that so many atheists say they do not believe in, yet still hate with a vehemence and passion that is UNBELIEVABLE.
It is not logical to hate something or someone whom you claim does not exist. Yet there are plenty of idiots around who do just that.
Some atheists are sincere in that they have their reasons for not believing in God’s existence. For instance they look at the suffering in this world and say “If God exists, how could a loving God see this suffering and not step in to stop it?” There IS logic in that view.
But HATING a God you prtend not to believe in is CRAZY! And that is exactly what many left-leaning atheistic politicians do.
Read the material on this site re the computer code precision in Genesis and the Torah. That material makes it clear that no human mind could have put creation, matter and our 10-D Universe together. Yes it does take faith to believe that Jesus is the Messiah. But there is NO FAITH REQUIRED to see that the Torah, and the (related) structure of matter, structure of the human body, structure of the atom, design of The Great Pyramid (in turn related to Jesus) all came from God.
