The All Religious Denomination Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club

oldprussians · #1 12-16-2009, 07:21 AM

A new thread Celebrating the diversity of praise of the One God!

We welcome Jews, Hindus, Buddhist (Yes some Buddhist believe in God-in fact all eastern Buddhist I've met), Zoroastrians, Christians, Muslims, Bahai's.....

I just thought there other thread was too restrictive......

Many other religions don't believe in what you refer to as "the One God", they have their own deity or deities. Especially something like Hinduism, which has many gods.

Monotheistic Worship Club?

I think you'll find that the Deep thinkers in Hinduism, as well as many others refer the Multiplicity of actually as Attributes of One God!

To it seems a no brainer.

But then again you get the educated deep thinkers in Christianity, and Islam, and the you also get the Village Idiots!

I think you'll also find that this is the "bassists" section. Your post says nothing about bassists. Only "belief" in a single God.

So is this thread for "All Religious Denomination Praise and Worship Band Bassists" or just those who are also monotheists? Cause I've been looking for a place to discuss the issues that face bass players who play at services for the god Thor. For one thing it's hard to be heard over all that thunder.

Well a person I know who studied Old norse and culture @ degree level said that she thought that Odin represented the God head and Thor the messenger, and the Myths certainty had the look of a remnant of a Monolithic religion. needless the say the Evangelical Christian Supervisor didn't like it one Bit!

No this is for bassists of any Any Religious Denomination... So please tell us what you play and were!

As bassists or otherwise, it doesn't matter what we believe. It only matters what is true. The stakes are high (eternity) make sure you know the truth. Oh, and change your strings often.

dogbluedrummer · #10 12-20-2009, 06:17 AM

Ditto on the above, except the part about changing strings often. I like them old and dead. Hmmm, dirrerences in bass doctrine? Let the arguing commence.

Believe Son! I know what you mean, but I've got the feeling we might not be entirely in agreement on all things!

But bare in mind, most Christians disagree on what is the truth!

And what did Master Kenobi say on truth.....

so the only ones of us that are excluded from your club are those of us that do not believe in the supernatural at all?

I don't see this ending well...

That statement isn't true at all. All Christians agree on the most fundamental truth, or they aren't Christians. The disagreements come in some of the details surrounding that truth, or in traditions of worship rather than differences in doctrine. I'll leave it at that.

While I'm suspicious about this thread and the reasoning behind it, I'd be interested in hearing how other religions' services go down, as far as the bass player is concerned. I wasn't even aware that Hindus, Buddhists, or Zoroastrans engaged in corporate worship.

...I doubt this thread will last too long before it gets out of hand.

1st of all there is a great difference among Christian groups.. The big one being Western Christians and and eastern ones, to the point dreadful atrocities were committed, from the middle ages down. Fundamental differences if one takes at one extreme the Evangelical Christians of the Deep South, to Messianic Jews... Poor chaps the Right wing Christians don't want them and the Right wing Jews don't want them.......

Then More subtly there is the a great difference between the Evangelical Christians the believe all other religions are misguided at best, and the Pope that declared there was truth in all Religions! _ In fact I know a catholic priest who is very concerned about being put anywhere near certain attitudes the evangelicals!

As to Congregational worship...... I've seen many and varied religious people praising the One God, in a myriad of ways, through music, God bless them even Muslims, where some Imams have gone down the path of banning music in worship they have embraced it!

God Bless you all!

This thread is about unity and diversity!

**David Wilson** · #20 12-20-2009, 03:35 PM

The other 'religious bassist' threads - Christian bassists, Jewish bassists etc - are purely for discussion of specific issues regarding playing music in those situations. Not for discussion of the religion in question.

Religious discussion, whether one religion or all, is only permitted in the Lobby which is only accessible by supporting members. I'm closing this thread.
