PINGAROO
There was a rumor back in the ‘90s that he visited our little Baptist church on Maui when he vacationed in the Islands. Not sure if it’s true or not...
One has to be cautious when a celebrity suddenly gets religion.
I remember when Larry Flint became “religious” for a short while back in the 1970s, but would not give up his publication of porn.
Then he got shot, and reverted and became an extremely vile person.
“In one of them, I read an interview with Cooper, in which he unequivocally took the standard-issue evangelical line that Mother Teresas good works wouldnt necessarily get her into heaven. Ive never been a cheerleader for the late saint, but his dogmatism rubbed me the wrong way.
That said, I never stopped liking him, and his music.”
This author has it backwards.
His music and stage show and schtick were terrible.
The above piece of theology about good works is not.
I don’t know much about Cooper except that his music, stage show and image were pathetic and more importantly that we all need to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
A lot of us can know Christ but still not be very good role models for others and being, for example, a celebrity Christian may provide more stumbling blocks than benefit.
Of course he's in the news for religion. The left figures that if they are going to burn they want everyone to burn with them.
There's still time for them to avoid that.
