FAR AWAY EYES
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"

And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

My answer is yes, you can, but organized religion's motivation seems questionable due to their determination to collect our money! Paying for prayers, for example! All churches need money, so if you are OK with giving them your money, than its ok to go! The Stones have never been anti-religous, just sarcastic at times, but I think they have Christian beliefs.

JUST WANT TO SEE HIS FACE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

That's all right, that's all right, that's all right.
Sometimes you feel like trouble, sometimes you feel down.
Let this music relax you mind, let this music relax you mind.
Stand up and be counted, can I get a witness.
Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love.
Sometimes you ain't got nobody and you want somebody to love.
Then you don't want to walk and talk about Jesus,
You just want to see his face.
You don't want to walk and talk about Jesus,
You just want to see his face.

I'd say the whole proposition is crap. Of all the people that I know whom like the Stones, at least some of them, attend church regularly. To a man or woman they all find that their relationship with their church or synagogue makes them much more than they are without it. That some people can't understand this fact, or deride, these people for their faith just makes the accuser look that much smaller and less of "something". And they are too. They are the very petty intolerant pricks that they accuse others or being.

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.

The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.

The man, who was a priest, said, 'I am a Father.'

The little boy replied, 'My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that.'

The priest looked up from his book and answered, ''I am the Father of many.'

The boy said, ''My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he
doesn't wear his collar that way!'

The priest, getting impatient, said. 'I am the Father of hundreds', and went back to reading his book.

The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said,
"Maybe you should wear a condom, and put your pants on backwards instead of
your collar."

I was asking a question to the OP... Why are you responding like this to me? He clearly stated church, not mosque synagogue. There was no accusation made, by me or the OP. Are you of the belief, that the OP can't have a spiritual relationship with The Stones? Are you accusing me or him of some sort of intolenrance? Since no one has attacked any beleif, what are you basing your attack on? Who is being intloerant? No one else has passed a judgemnt on others besides you... not only did you not answer the question, he presented, you attacked without warrant on others, and quoted my question to the OP. Looks like niether Stones music or religous beliefs are working in your life... maybe it is something else that makes you so mean spirited for no reason. I find it really odd, since my question, in the context of the question asked, defends the question of going to church, by me asking, how will going to church make them less of something. Whether you like it or not, people can also have a spiritual life, without going to church, and grow and maintain a spiritual life through rock and roll... and in the context of Stones music, and Keith Richards, this is what Keith preachs in his own way, he just doesn't have any dogma. There's many perspectives, but all you adressed is anger, your own, and not the topic, of Stones music and spirituality. The OP feels they would be betraying their personal beleifs by going to church, never stating that church is wrong... one can exist without the other and both can exist together, so what's your problem? Is your respongse going to be more cursing and attacks on me and others?
