why is her head on backwards?

LOTP it is for me then...

interesting counter argument, however i can't help but feel we were discussing people being offended by profanity and not Deities being offend by it..

God does not have to exist for people to have the experience that something is a profanity. However this experience happens only in their mind not because something IS profane but rather that they interpret it as being profane. The IDEA of god might need to exist in their brain for them to have that internal experience, but not god him/herself.

IF you want to argue about what god would find profane at which point we might have to imagine an omnipotent, omniscient being who is also, a bit touchy about what people say about him/her, which frankly, i find a little absurd.

no, no it really can't. It needs someone to mentally interpret it as profanity and that interpretation "exists" only in the mind of the person interpreting it as such.

In this case, the person is you.
Just because lots of people might interpret something as being "profanity" doesn't mean the intrinsic qualities of the thing they are interpreting change.

I do not interpret this phrase that way. Thus to me the phrase "Rubbing shit in god's eyes" does not register as profanity. I am not offended.

For the sake of a mental experiment. let's say I hold fast to the similar premise "holiness can exist as an entity in itself" Let's also use the same stimulus.. The headline of this piece.

Indeed on first reading, this title reminded me of the medically unsound biblical story of jesus mixing his saliva with dirt (which probably contained some kind of animal droppings back then) and rubbing it into the eyes of a blind man which had the result of giving the man his sight back.. The act of rubbing shit into gods eyes by a music critic could therefore be metaphorically a holy act enabling god to greater see the glory of his creation, the same way that people can be good christians yet on sundays they have to SHOW god they are good christians by going to church. *

Given the evidence, i conclude- The phrase "rubbing shit into god's eyes" is holy, and this holiness exists as an entity regardless of the existence of anything else.

It turns out that even if i had held fast to this interpretation of the phrase, and believed the words "rubbing shit in gods eyes" to be holy .
Reading the article that follows, i would learn i was incorrect,that the meaning i ascribed to the words was not the one intended and given the context, not what they mean at all,
Still, the entity i identified them as - "holy" was not actually the entity they are at all. Would this essential quality change because I learnt something new? were they really "holy" to begin with??

The idea that these words were ever intrinsically holy, would just be a meaning created by me, in my head. Just as the idea that this is profanity and that profanity exists regardless of someone to make it profanity is one created by you in your head.

There are no entities existing by themselves here, just people hallucinating that there are and seemingly some who're aware it's a hallucination.

*Music writing/criticism as praise/elevation of god's creation to a level where it's more godly?- what have i said?

what i meant to say is, it's offensive?

Good.

It's a shame a good chunk of the interesting music writing has shifted to the internet because now, there's nothing to read in the toilet.

and there's a spot at glastonbury unannounced still...

could it be?

Where it's at.. was the precursor to After skool klub. Going Underground was the precursor to Trash.

I understand your confusion though, they all shared a huge crossover in clientele, dj's and ethos.

interesting article and a weird blast from my past- thanks.

yes, it bloody well is. except with added "lady in red".

This is spectacularly derivative. Given the right push, it'll be huge. Personally, it makes me feel ill.

it would be nice if it was good, but honestly, i am thinking it's gonna be "free as a bird."

i saw him 13 times (plus aftershows) last year, i hope for all the people going he decides to just play a greatest hits because then coachella won't know what hit it. And Kraftwerk playing too? i must admit, i am seriously jealous.
