I assume Shane Pruitt has no problems with these yet they do far more damage to Christian youth than Taylor Swift could ever do. That is because these pose as Christian lyrics. What do they teach us as we sing them over and over again in church? That we are God's portion and not the other way around? That we are so special because hey, look how much He loves us! That Jesus wants to lead us by the hand into His chambers or that He is giving the earth a sloppy wet kiss? You shouldn't feel like you need a shower after worshipping. Or that we are so special, that the creator of the universe just didn't want heaven without us. Yet we are concerned that a secular music artist used Christian imagery to speak badly about her ex-boyfriend or that she called out hypocrites for criticizing her current boyfriend. We need to get over ourselves. There is a world going to hell and we are dithering over out of context lyrics from Taylor Swift instead of all the out of context scriptures being used to sell the NAR dominionist worldview. Love Swift or hate her, she is not the enemy beloved.
