Breaking News:Taylor Swift Blasted for ‘Anti-Christian’ Album, Mocking God in New Songs

Published

on

Some Christian leaders are criticizing Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” for lyrics they say bash Christians and mock God.

Shane Pruitt of the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board posted on Facebook some of the lyrics he found to be objectionable for believers.

“LYRICS MATTER,” Pruitt said in the April 22 post.

“Disclaimer, I’m definitely not the minister or parent that has the ‘no secular music’ stance,” he wrote. “Also, I fully realize unbelievers are going to act like unbelievers.

“HOWEVER, there is a difference between being secular, and being ANTI-CHRISTIAN.”

Pruitt first cited Swift’s lyrics from “But Daddy I Love Him”:

God save the most judgmental creeps
Who say they want what’s best for me
Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see
Thinkin’ it can change the beat
Of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny
You ain’t gotta pray for me
Me and my wild boy
And all of this wild joy
If all you want is gray for me
Then it’s just white noise, and it’s just my choice.

He then pointed to the song “Guilty as Sin?” which has drawn criticism for Swift’s comparison of herself to Jesus:

What if I roll the stone away?
They’re gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy?

Finally, Pruitt cited a line from “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”: “I would’ve died for your sins.”

“In transparency I used to listen to Taylor,” he wrote. “HOWEVER I think now it’s time to reconsider.

“As Christians, who are filled with the Spirit should we be entertained by, sing with, and expose our kids to lyrics that aren’t just different than what you believe, but are actually mocking what you believe?”
