This album is so angry, and I've probably said that before. I keep restarting and losing direction because I don't think anything is good enough after I record it. I don't mean in terms of recording quality or anything like that, I mean it feels like I'm not capturing something I need to capture. Maybe it doesn't feel sincere enough, or there are parts I'm not concentrating on as hard as I should be.
I need to pray on this for awhile, I feel like I've had the rug yanked out from under me due to some recent events that have caused me to start searching for another church. I do not, however, believe I will find one that's a right fit.
It's ironic that one of the big themes on this record is spiritual trauma, when part of why I'm so angry at the moment is due to it.
I understand that, "The devil," works against us at all times to derail our better intentions and our sincere attempts to follow God, but sometimes the people who claim to be fighting with the sharpest swords turn them toward those they probably shouldn't. Is this influence? What is it? The answer gets complicated.
But if you're going to enter into an argument with someone on spiritual matters, particular about anything directly from scripture, you should make sure you're very prepared for that argument, because assumptions and, "Things you've been told for a long time," do not amount to jack diddly squat.
It doesn't matter to me much how someone is raised, how someone is taught, anything like that. If you're going to pick a fight with someone and enter into it intending to use the Bible to defend your position, you better make sure you know what you're talking about.
Instead of just being entirely wrong.
And by entirely wrong, I mean entirely wrong.
