My sister once asked me why I don’t belive in Jesus, so I played her this song. One year later and she admits to me that she no longer believes in Jesus or God.
Of coures it wasn’t just this song that changed her belives, but it may have inspired her to question what people were preaching to her. I always tried to teach her ask questions and to challange her thinking.
I wasn't trying to de-convert her, but I’m glad she has become skeptical and has developed critical thinking skills.

Yep. You don't need religion for decision-making. Be your own boss!

Reminds me of the old John Lennon song, Yoko and Me, I believe was the title.

I love that song. So glad your sister was able to question things and use reason to make decisions.

Music is a powerful force not to be underestimated. It has the power to affect people in ways that no other art can.

Love that tune, and saved as well.
Heres another in an different genre (Hip Hop/ Rap )of music
as new

Great lyrics

@obis and why I shared it. It is handy to have songs of this nature for every genre (I have a number) so when you run into people (as the Op points out) you can give them food for thought.

@Davesnothere haha, I do that rarely because I'm trying to avoid religion related argument

@obis Hey, just for reference. At Christmas, at the Family celebration, I played this . . .with no warning.
and I SANG ALONG LOUDLY
I was 16
at 56 I have no contact with "that" family, my family is my kids and grandkids.

No probably not just the song but sometimes a single influence at an opportune moment makes all the difference ... you never know. That's why I never totally give up interacting with theists on other sites (not so much here, as they don't come here).

One of my sisters asked me yesterday how come I don't believe in god? My answer: I am the only sibling you got left that is still in speaking terms with you. And you are 4 sisters called yourself christians. You should wonder deeply about that. How come I am the only one in speaking terms with all of you.
