*preachy* ? yep.. for a moment in the call it did sound a bit that way.. but just for a moment. Most of it was beautiful. I'd guess he has had a fairly strong Christian community connection thus far, but his emphasising of the love of God, was genuine.

Psychologically, its true that in moments of high euphoria, we can all get a little 'preachy' even if its to preach against God.

We aussies should remember.. this 'IS' an American social/cultural context.

CJ.. when God 'talks' to us, by and large we GB's mean 'a sense of conviction in our hearts' rather than an audible voice but this does.
not exclude something far stronger than a 'sense' of something. I won't go futher in personal testimony or you will be all over me like that rash :)

TAMMY..I had a listen to the child singer.. she is very sweet. I'd HATE to be Simon in the judges panel, because he would know the crowd would have ripped him to bits if he had dissed her.

Both Logan and Connie, are examples of what Jesus mean't when he said "Unless you accept the kingdom of God like a child....."

Oi... Vanilla slice.. I had a peek at those 2, and I hope everyone else looks at them too.

You did a good job of providing the very contrast we need to see, in order to better appreciate the simple down to earth faith of Logan.

He wasn't judging anyone.. all he said was "God love you"... Phelps and gang are the opposite... now.. which 'other' faith and its practices about inculcating hate in small children does that remind us of ?

Yep....its that one :)

I should just go the extra mile here V, and point out that you don't seem to see any difference between a child expressing love, and a child expressing hate.... maybe some serious reflection would help you in this?

Uh, no, I don't have any trouble with that distinction.

Joan of Arc had the same problem: the Church fixed her, good and proper. Didn't need a psychiatrist.

Okay ..... I've rethought my assessment of this kid - he's obviously a professional actor and the whole thing is a set-up, a religious scam, typical of the deception that fringe fanatical groups do to try to sell their wierd beliefs onto the susceptible ("I do looooove those innocent kids") or the needy ("I feel so bad and can't manage my life and Jesus will do it for me like he does for this lovely little kid! Hallelujah!"). I just sincerely wish the kid every success in his acting career and I hope he goes on to stardom - maybe playing some little pal of Jesus in a forthcoming Mel Gibson blood-soaked epic about yet another crucifixion.
