So you don't like Dylan because he is not a follower of Jesus, that's it?

Did you also not like to watch Koufax pitch?

Did you avoid all Mark Twain's novels?

Did you never appreciate Ulysses by James Joyce?

Do you also so strongly condemn Abraham Lincoln?

Do you also like Barry Bond's simply because he thanks the Lord each time he hit a steroid enhanced home run?

Do you not appreciate all that Thomas Edison gave us?

Do you also so strongly condemn the works of Frank Lloyd Wright?

And do you cringe each time you hear "God Bless America" knowing that Berlin was a non believer?

Does a person not have a right to any privacy and must put himself up for inspection to be judged by others before he can be enjoyed for his contributions be it musically, athletically or through the pen?

You are entitled to your beliefs, of course, along with your condemnations of others for not living up to your expectations. But I do believe you are a lesser person for much of what you have projected in this thread.

Tis a pity.

All of that rant is irrelevant, Michael. Earlier on this thread, I said that my beef isn't about whether he's a Christian or not, but rather, because he continues to be blowin' in the wind. His songwriting persona is supposed to be some high-thinking philosopher, yet he has no consistent philosophy. That's what I don't admire, and the reason I won't buy any of his stuff.

The "Christian phase" he went through is just one example.

But go ahead and read into what I wrote anything that floats your boat. You will anyway.
