Elvis or Evils?
Have you guys seen this? A friend of mine sent me this article, and a similar one about Elton John. I kinda laughed but well, it's disturbing to know some people actually take this seriously.

Yes i posted the link on a thread on dismissing myths or confirming them. Is'nt that the most disgusting, degrading piece written on Elvis. Sure he did sin, far out who has'nt!! But he loved God, and was not a disgrace to the christian music. He was the greatest singer of it, and God gave him that talent.
I'm like a stranger, like a stranger in my own hometown

Elvis or Evils
That is a disgusting article. I am a very devout christian, I have been since I was a child. i have also been an Elvis fan since a child. I am absolutly sure that Elvis sinned in his life, as all of us have. Tha bible says that all have sinned. He knew how to ask forgiveness just like all of us do. I am sure that he asked God to forgive him. If he had lived and become a preacher as Priscilla said, I am sure he would have been a dynamic preacher and would have been able to reach alot of people with the word of God. My husband and I have are in the ministry and i know alot of good christian people who are Elvis fans and do not think of him as evil. That is such a joke. Elvis did not give himself the title of "KING". He always made it clear that Jesus Christ was and is KING. Oh well, I quess I got up on a soap box, I will get down.

Two woeful fallacies amongst many:
P.S. I'm not remotely religious. But some people who are, as the above attests, need to get a grip.
A true Christian sees the presence of God in everyone -- from saints to mass murderers. You cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven without the divine.In case you don't know, the term "rock n' roll" originated from a godless radio DJ in Cincinnati, Ohio.
This is actually what more people should do: get up and learn. Elvis saw fit to expand his horizons. He may not have done so in a prudent or correct way, but at least he had the capacity and drive to do so.Elvis constructed "a personalised religion out of what he'd read of Hinduism, Judaism, numerology, theosophy, mind control, positive thinking and Christianity" (Hungry for Heaven, p. 143).
