Have you ever listened to a song, read a story, or watched a drama and walked away with conflicting emotional & intellectual reactions? Well, then this is the thread for you.
Recently I happened to come across a song I remember from the 80s: "Graverobber," by the Christian rock band Petra. As you might guess, the song is about the promise of resurrection; the band's name is an reference to Christ's charge to St. Peter, and the title alludes to a verse from the Bible I am too lazy to look up.
I do not believe in immortality or resurrection. In fact, I'll go further than that; I think believing in life after death is a positively bad thing, apt to cause people to neglect ways of dealing with real (read: material) problems in favor of a fantasy that will never come to pass. But nonetheless I simply love this song. And not because it reminds me of my childhood; I just think it rocks.
Anyway...that's just me. What about the rest of you?
