Not that anyone minds--no one's paying attention to the music. Most of them never really listen to music. Practically no one actually does.

Repentance and faith are inseparable, and 'unless you repent you will all likewise perish' (Luke 13:3).

They think there would be fewer of them to feel sorry for if the government did not encourage the proliferation of the least fit among us with welfare programs.
