Ok, for example: I knew this guy who believed in God but he didn't really practice religion or attend services or anything. He was a drugatic and an alcoholic and got put into a rehab center by his parents (he was only 17) and the court that was a christian rehab center. But when he got there, they wanted him to give up everything that wasn't worshipping God, music for example. Now, he loved music more than anything...The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Tom Petty and so on. He played guitar and wrote lyrics all the time and flatly refused to give it up, which I don't blame him. So, he acted up and got sentenced to jail and 20 years later he died of a drug overdose. Do you think that maybe if these people weren't being so demanding this wouldn't have happened? I think so. I know many preachers who preach hellfire sermons and if you do anything ungodly (like listen to music that isn't like the Gaithers or whatever) you'll go to hell. I think this is the wrong way to go about it.......
