AMAZING GRACE Sang by 4 Men Beautifully!
How about a little break from all of the political stuff today?

Four Tenors (Il Divo) singing inside the Coliseum in Rome.

8. Why do people love that song so much?
Edited on Sun Apr-10-11 03:59 PM by Canuckistanian
I've always hated the lyrics because I don't consider myself a "wretch". It just seems like a song for people with low self-esteem.

17. Here is one definition, and there are actually many who fit the description
"...a miserable person : one who is profoundly unhappy or in great misfortune..."

20. Christianity is all about giving people LOW self-esteem.
Since the starting point for Christianity is Original Sin. You're a bad person just because a couple of fruit munching idiots in a fairy tale ate from the Tree of Knowledge??? Give me a break. :banghead:

Make people feel bad so you can control them. Give them a fake answer to a nonexistent problem. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Sounds like the psychopath I was married to that told me that people did not "deserve his respect, they had to EARN his respect". That marriage didn't last long.

10. I have three of the Il Divo albums on my MP3 that I take to the gym. That
sort of music is much better (for me) than the rap crap they have on the speakers all the time.

Also on the MP3 are Celtic Woman, Enya, and Jim Croce.

I'm in my own little world when working out.
