God Only Knows P Diddy & Moby
P Diddy was so religious he attended both Catholic and Baptist churches he revealed
this week, adding that he attributes his astonishing commercial success directly to
his religious background.
"I was an altar boy in a Catholic church and then had afternoons at a Baptist
church; I was in church every Sunday, all day," Puffy confessed.
"It's because of Him (God) that all I do is possible. He's my secret weapon," he added.
The multi-millionaire rapper's revelations appeared just days before
multi-millionaire techno type Moby flagged up his own God-fearing credentials again,
in a Biblically inspired broadside against 'right-wing American Christianity'.
"My presumptuous belief is that if Christ walked into a right-wing mega-church and
started preaching he would either be beaten up or shot," said Moby on his always
interesting blog, going on to accuse the religious right of comprehensively
misinterpreting the Bible.
"If you read the 4 gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Crazy John) you'll find a lot
of remarkable teachings," he added, "on forgiveness (to paraphrase: forgive
everyone, regardless of how they've wronged you), teachings on judgementalism
(simple: judge not unless you want to be judged, and no one can really hold up under
judgement) and so on," he said.
Former Jacques Lu Cont protégé Juliet also revealed she's been reading the Bible a
lot recently, telling Skrufff this week she's taken a break from the club scene to
write new songs 'slowly, quietly, with a guitar'
"My message was off, and I had to quit it, before it killed me," said Juliet, "My
spirit is being reborn; heart, mind, soul and truth!"
Chatting about the recent anti-gay alliance of fundamental Christians, Jews and
Muslims against Jerusalem Pride, Juliet referred to Jesus' well known 'let he who is
without sin cast the first stone' story (John 8:1-11) and also concluded with a
poignant favourite Bible passage of her own; John 3:16 and 3:17.
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And
this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have
a whole and lasting life." Juliet told Skrufff (quoting from the Message
translation."
"God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing
finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right
again," she added.
