I overheard this on the ubiquitous church TV this morning while noodling around the internet and reading about the Iranian "election." I really have no choice, I get approximately three-and-a-half channels (the one that alternates between picture or sound is the "half") and so I normally just have the tube on for background noise that I can easily tune out...until this barged its way in front of Ahmadinejad's election theft:
"Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.

"Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way...!"
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me."
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me."
WTF?!
And there aren't more people going to Church? This isn't even subliminal or anything remotely couched, this is pretty blatant...

...now get a load of this:
"Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way...!"
Church is hardcore. The preceding makes me wonder why congregations aren't showing up in sensory deprivation hoods or slave collars (everybody knows a person can't sing along to the hymns with a ballgag in one's mouth...) and raising their voices in worship to what, from the sounds of things, could be the rotating, foghorn-blasting obelisk 'Leviathan' in Hellraiser 2 for all we know. Can we be sure they're not all secretly reading from "Story of O?" - you know, when you put one book inside another book to make it look like you're reading something you're really not; or really reading something you shouldn't be reading?
People complain about society being fixated on sex, well it is. It has to be to a degree because the genetically encoded biological imperative (regardless of orientation) is to ensure perpetuation of the species, but it's been amplified, warped, and twisted by the churches, shuls, mosques and what-have-you. The teaching of the morality and virtue of restraint, yet at the same time essentially singing about submissive sexual relations with Jesus or God has done nothing but create a whole herd of individuals who can't get their noses out of the goings-on in other people's bedrooms - unless it's to make sure women are doing as they're told.
Simple as that.
