Its not a disease we caught, to be quarantined over. LOL

I am so sorry. It hurts, I know, I have been through it, myself.

"We would worry a lot less about what people think of us, if we only knew how seldom they do." — ???

GG, Why not telephone the programing director of the radio station you listen to, and ask your question of them? They are the only person who can tell you why they play certain songs. Maybe they can show you how they feel it is Christmassy.

This may be difficult for you to grasp, but Leonard Cohen wrote that song.

We like to think we have interpreted that whole book correctly when we harbor in our hearts so much vindictiveness disguised as "Justice." But, we never know.

And if you, I, or anyone here was born and raised Jewish, we would have the same beliefs.

People could say a lot of derogatory things about us simply because we ran around in a robe with a rag tied around our head.

Its that simple fact we talk about, but don't seem to live too well. " We do not know another man's heart, nor do we know his relationship and position with God."

Spoken like a true __________________ ! (You fill in the blank.) :( He understood "religion" as he was taught.... just like almost every single one of us did. I suspect his not embracing Christianity was more the fault of the people around him who claimed to follow Jesus.

Did you know that Leonard Cohen once said this: "I'm very fond of Jesus Christ. He may be the most beautiful guy who ever walked the face of this earth. Any guy who said "Blessed are the poor. Blessed are the meek" has got to be a figure of unparalleled generosity and insight and madness... A...

I have always found his music deeply moving.

My wife's workout at the "Y" lasts a little longer than mine, and I sit and wait for her in the lobby. Sitting there, I have prayed for countless people that have no idea I am even sitting there, let alone, praying for them. Jesus did that a lot.

So, don't "say nothing". Did anyone here become a Christian by saying nothing.... just because they weren't vocal people?

Lord, YES !!!! Countless times I have had to tell God that "I messed things up again." How I wish I could say I walk the perfect path the way so many others seem to be doing.

"No", it is just stating what I have heard said here. Have you not read any of this thread?

It is the Leonard Cohen this entire thread has been about.

Leonard Cohen is not a Christian. He was born a Jew, tried to become a Monk (living in a Monastery for 6 years in the 90's) and he is still searching.... for something. He doesn't live my lifestyle, but I cannot condemn him as I have heard others doing here.
