I love country music. I especially like the modern women singers.

so I had the music on while I was at work and I heard a song that boggles me - it's called Canyon Prayer, and it's a song about a women's relationship to god and the chorus is -

" Won't you blind my eyes when all I see is temptation.
Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth.
An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire.
Go on an' do what you must do,
Whatever you must take me through till I turn to you."

This is a song by a popular singer - and I just don't get it.

I always thought that faith was a personal act, not an act inflicted on you by god. I mean, isn't the whole thing about free will supposed to be that worship is a choice.

I get disgusted a lot by what the religious right do in the name of Christianity. But I console myself that they are wacko's and every religion has them. Don't get me wrong, I don't hold my tongue and I don't let silence be my assent to what those wacko's want to turn my religion to, but this song disgust me on another level entirely.

I can't understand someone begging God to force her to worship him. I just can't. And I don't want to.
