Nope sorry,
1) Michael has indicated he likes the music
2) This American Life deals with similar heavy subject matter with background music
and 3) My shitty $200 point and shoot digi cam leaves audio artifacts that I wish to cover up with music.

Daniel, I hope you will reconsider your practice of dubbing music over Michael Bussee’s talking. It’s distracting, and also seems disrespectful of Mr. Bussee. If I were the interviewee here, I’d be pretty upset about that — like, so, what I have to say isn’t interesting (or important) enough, that we have to draw in people with short attention spans by overlaying music? The overlaid music makes it feels more like propaganda, or a Scientology video. It’s cheesy. Serious subject matter should be treated seriously. This is dead-serious business, worthy of “60 Minutes,” for example. And 60 Minutes would never dream of overlaying interviews with music!!

We have plenty of other opportunities in life to hear and listen to music.

Yep. It belies the complete and utter lack of faith they truly have in their God.

If you’re so right, what’s there to worry about? We’ll get what’s coming to us, and you’re only compelled to tell us what’s coming, not force us to comply.

anteros,

I agree. The god of the theocrats always seems so week and ineffective. He needs humans to do everything for him.

in the bible, jesus turned water into wine, walked on water, made a blind dude see, brought a dead dude back to life, rose from the dead three days after being crucified… he was god.

chambers believes that gay marriage would prevent that same miracle worker from saving souls or turning gay people straight? (that’s assuming he would want to turn gay people straight). would jesus really require the denial of civil rights in order for him to do his thing?
with such limitations, chambers’ sounds like a man-made god. forgive me for wondering if there ever existed another type of god out there somewhere… one that’s not man-made or heavily reliant on human imagination.
