Heres what I wanted to do.Some things we commonly use eg songs nursery rhymes etc arent as innocent as they seem. In fact research will shock you as to the true meanings of things. My aim was to show how as time goes on things we (especially Christians) can be so acclimatized to things that they dont realise what they say. please dont post any lyrics thatll make it get locked. Examples Nursery rhymes werent made for kids but rather are jokes about stuff that happened at the time, but we tell them to kids and teach them them. Rock a bye baby- tells of a practice of Native american mothers who put theiy babies in cradles in trees to rock them, unfortunately some babies would drop out of the tree and die. Peter Peter pumpkin eater is really about a man whose wife is unfaithful (couldnt keep her) so he murdered her and hid the body in a pumpkin(put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well) Songs Multiple songs Lots of romantic songs are actually blatant celebrations of adultery. We all know about "If loving you is wrong" but also whitney Houston's @Saving all my love for you. Apparnetly her mother didnt want her to actually sing it because of the content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once sang along to, "If I were a carpenter and you were my lady" as a teen - that didn't go down too well. I didn't know why, I just liked the tune!

OK, on a lighthearted note so as not to stay concerned about my innocent consumption of that rhyme, did you know that in the nursery rhyme about Humpty Dumpty there is no actual mention that Humpty is an egg? It's just inferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Rolling Stones did a song to make you feel sorry for the devil. As we grow in God we learn to give these things up. We stop enjoying them.
