When I visited her last month in the Midwest, my friend Kathy gave me a soda-cracker size radio ya hook on your belt and plug in your ears. Even though my treadmill fuzzes up my other radios, it doesn’t this one, and as I treaded this morning, I heard an aching male voice belt out a powerful tune with this refrain:
“I wanna yearn for you,Coulda knocked me over with a toothpick when I discovered I was listening to a Christian music channel. This dude was singing not to a person, but a god – no doubt Jumpin’ J. Jehovah, or his second, Jesus.
“I wanna buuuurn ….
“With passion all over you,
“And only you.”
To my mind this brings up a bagga questions.
O Is this sex sublimation? Or not?
O Who listens to these songs? Dudes who can’t find live persons to get personal with?
O Do repeat listeners feel an actual sexual attraction to J.J. (or Jesus)?
O In fact, what is the relationship between spirituality and sexuality?
O Unlike Jumpin’ J., the Goddess expects and encourages us to enjoy all our senses -- to the fullest. So should we sing songs like this for Goddess?
O Why or why not?
