Madonna offends God, news at six
 

Madonna's first religion was Catholicism -which she promptly offended some religious types. Now she "converts" to a new faith and proceeds to piss them off.

I'm kinda looking forward to the divine retribution... Maybe God will inspire her followers that her music really does suck.

It's just a fad that she's taking part in. My response to that article is "whatever".

Madonna = jumped the shark, jumped the couch, jump a lot of things and now it would seem she's just batshit crazy. Has she officially Yokoed Guy Ritchie?

Madonna, master of the publicity stunt.

madonna who? do people really listen to her music for a message? can't believe people actually care about what she or really any other celb has to say. If she wants to put her money were her mouth is thats fine, but who cares what she thinks. My guess would be that even if she never said anything religious that the jewish rabbi or whatever would have been pissed that it was not mentioned. anything to get into the news and sell records/promote religion. Saw her in concert when i was younger during the blond something or other tour. She was hot.

LOL, there is a website called jewsweek.com? I remember reading a thread where using the name jew was an insult? not that it is to me. gonna go surf over to irishweekly.com.

What happens when people get famous? Are they taken to some undergournd lair and indoctrinated in the cult of the crazy?

I think most people don't give a rat's ass what Madonna says, or Streisand or any of these people. But THEY think we hang on every word.

The thread was From Bitch Dog to Jew Couple.... To save you the reading time: "Jew" as a noun is OK, but "Jew" as an adjective is insulting; "Jewish" would be the correct adjective.

/ end threadjack

oh my goodness... GASP! Someone Using religious beliefs to PROFIT... i'm shocked ;) hehehehe

Sweetpea

Hard to believe that there was anyone left for her to offend.

She does not need this song to make her famous. All she did was write a song about a person or subject. She's not the one raising the fuss.

I find it ridiculous that these "religious" folk deem others not worthy of their religion. I see the same irony here as I do in catholocism.

couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup:

"Celebrities" have to maintain a certain visability. It's important for their careers. I don't think Madonna is in that category, though. I think flat5 nailed it; it's the rabbies involved who are being attention mongers.

I'm a bit hesitant to call a rabbi an attention whore. We'll see where this goes, if it ever shows up in the news again, which I rather doubt.

Who cares? Why would this be news? Madonna is old and not cool she hasn't made a good album since around the time i was born.

God seems to be rather easily offended. Madonna? Come on.

Maybe if she was serious about the religeon she would be acceptable. But she is not following the beliefs at all, just making a mockery of them.

I think God is amused by stupidity. Why else would there be so much of it?

IMO, the people in every religion on this planet make mockeries of themselves and their religion when they behave like they "own the rights" to worship. As if we must have their approval in order to worship correctly. God gave you the right and the ability to worship any way you like. So go ahead and do that and let Madonna take care of her own soul as she sees fit.

As to the exclusivity of the jewish religion, addressed above, I wish that more religions were more selective on who got to join- If you disagree, watch a televangelist some time ( Robert Tilton is a good example, as well as giving me an amusing idea of what the anti-christ should look/ act like)

Interesting thought and I agree for the most part. I do not care how she worships, preys, does what she wants. But making a total mockery of someone’s belief publicly, making songs about an amazing Rebbi, a gadol hador (the greatest rabbi of his generation, consider it to a pope, but not exactly) in a song, where there are religious issues to even listen to a woman sing. Etc... That is where I say it is wrong. If she wants to do what she wants at home, go for it, it is for G-d to judge not me. But to make a public mockery, and bring about the fakeness to an aspect of the religion publicly like she has, is wrong.

Xazy, have you heard the song? Does it mock the rabbi?

Well then what are they doing listening to Madonna in the first place? She's not exactly a gospel singer. I compare this to Ford Motor Company being offended when the manufacturer of Twinkies publicly praises the quality of Ford's engines.

I actually highly doubt that they have ever heard her sing, ever. It is them getting more upset at someone making a mockery of G-d and the belief. Imagine someone making a mockery of the a 'Saint' if you would.

Does anyone else enjoy the irony of the title? "Madonna offends God?" What, are His Holiness and the Virgin Mary in a tiff?
And personally, if I were a rabbi, I would be asking myself why God made Madonna so successful if she is a blasphemer. After all, it must have been a miracle to blind people enough that they would buy her drivel.

Free will.

edit............

I think Madonna was unwise to include that song. Mixing religion with entertainment is bound to cause some offence when the artist is controversial.

Religions are easy to offend.

As religion and state, entertainment and religion must be separated, no an easy task though.

Madonna is a total flake, and the hollywood Kabbalah is such a scam. She's a joke who's fallen for a joke. I only care enough to express just how annoying it is that she gets attention for it.

Having seen Madonna on the MTV award ceremony the other week where to prove Elton John wrong she actually sang live I can honestly say that she has now not only offended God, but also managed to offend me.

You can't help but be offended when someone shits in your ears.

It's nice that she tried to answer her critics and managed to prove to the whole world that she's one of the world's most popular singers, that can't actually sing very well.

You have to realize being succesful singer does not neccesarily have to do with having the best voice. It is about presentation and knowing how to sell yourself. While I am not a madonna fan, no one can say she does not know how to sell herself!

there's no such thing as bad pubicity
