ok,i didnt wanna say anything about it..
cos i feel like
swoonstars grandfather "never discuss religion and politics unless you want to lose a friend."
we all have different view and different CULTURAL and personal backrounds!!! what might offend one person, must not necessarily bother another..
(i'm writing and deleting constantly here, cos i don't wanna step on anyones toes..)
the general message is not, that dom didnt mean this and bla bla bla... cos i dont know what he said and always remember that BRAVO is a teenager magazine and kinda equivalent to US weekly or STAR..
it is just that i dont think anyone on my flist or in several communities means to offend and hurt another when saying, that they agree with dom..
if you feel hurt by a person you should directly say it to them..
excellent quote from starDOM:
...but I certainly felt that his remarks were directed towards concepts, not people.
and of course im keeping the comments open for everyone
also.. to cut out any questions about what words were used, i quote the german saying. feel free to translate yourself
Ich halte den Glauben an Gott für Müll.Alles nur Lügen.Gläubige Leute glauben daran dass eine sprechende Schlange auf einem Baum im Garten Eden sitzt und wir alle von Adam und Eva abstammen. Aber an Evolution glauben sie nicht. Lächerlich. Seit 4 Jahren lebe ich in den USA-eine entsetzlich gottesfürchtige Nation, in der jeder größere Schauspieler, Sänger oder Sportler auf einer Award Show aufsteht und erstmal Gott dankt.
Aber gleichzeitig marschieren die Amerikaner im Namen der Religion in andere Länder ein. Ich denke wenn es einen Gott gibt, muss er ganz enttäuscht sein, dass Leute seinen Namen dazu missbrauchen , Menschen zu töten. Ich brauche das nicht. Mir gefällt die Vorstellung besser, dass ich mein Schicksal selbst kontrollieren kann
gonna edit this when i have a clearer mind i guess
cos i feel like

Well, I've posted my thoughts on it at my journal, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing the need for cooler heads to prevail.
Now let's all get back to squee!

And one has to keep in mind that the interview was most likely done in English, then translated into German and then we translated it back into English. It probably lost a lot of details during all that.

Date: 2005-07-22 04:46 pm (UTC)I can understand why someone who is a devout Christian would be troubled by what Dom said (even with any translation issues, it's clear that he's not a religious person). He seems to have a cynical view based on his own life experiences.
It's times like these I wish we had a direct hotline to Dom to get him to clarify the situation! A big red emergency phone that we could use in cases like this so he could explain what he meant and set the record straight.
:hugs:

Date: 2005-07-22 07:43 pm (UTC)I had a look at the article in german (my german is not as good as yours, obviously) and your translation looks really good to me.

I'm reasonably certain that whereas he has a problem with religion in general, he does NOT have a problem with people who have faith -- good hearted people who do the right thing.
