Christians hating on Beyoncé - a Rant

Full disclosure: I am not a diehard member of the Beyhive but I did buy a CD of her newest album and have a poster from said CD hanging in my room.

A friend of mine from high school recently went on her IG stories to talk about how God told her to give up her floor tickets to the Renaissance tour (!!) and her ticket to see the Renaissance film. While I admire her following the Holy Spirit's leading (I guess, not convinced it was the Holy Spirit lol), it got me wondering about why Christians don't like Beyoncé. The whole Jackie Hill Perry thing about her was discussed on here a few months ago too. I ignore JHP now because she essentially preaches conversion therapy and as a proudly out bisexual agnostic guy, I don't appreciate that. I have talked about it with Christian friends, particularly evangelicals, who say it is because of her swearing in her songs (fair I guess), claiming people are gods (it's not that serious), and that she alledgedly participates in demonic activity (???).

Anyways, I think this paints all of Christianity in the wrong light. Even at my most evangelical, I would have thought this was absolutely nutty. You are entitled to your opinion and not to listen to Beyoncé, but the whole spiritualizing and bragging about dumping her music is absolutely exhausting. I guess I was not committed enough to the bit to ever go this far.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk lol
