Tell Me :
Talk
Such a response would not be required if people didn't try to tell other people what they should or shouldn't be doing,when was the last time the stones contacted the pope telling him what he should be doing on a particular day.
To myself and many other people around the world this weekend is just another weekend like any other.Right now I'm listening to some music but whilst I do this I am not knocking on my neighbours door telling them what they should be doing.
As long as you don't hurt other people then do what you want to do but don't attempt to inflict your views on others.
Nate
I think you greatly overestimate the general importance of the Stones here. They may be a major force in the music business, but outside of the showbusiness I fear they are in no position to tell anybody "what they should or shouldn't be doing".
Apart from that, I am glad that I live in a society where rules ("laws") are not restricted to your "as long as you don't hurt other people then do what you want" principle.
Well said sir. I agree with every single word of tbat. I don't have a religion and I won't be preached to by anyone nor vice versa. I enjoy the extended bank Holliday and what I do with it will be my own choice and not anyone else's. It certainly won't involve hurting others.
I think you will find it was the pope attempting to tell the stones when they should play not the other way around.
Nate
How do you know for sure that the Pope did not pass along that request prior to the announcement?
So only Mick makes that decision? I wonder how Mick's "drummer" feels about that.
Well, it was you who asked "when was the last time the stones contacted the pope telling him what he should be doing on a particular day" - indicating that they are indeed in a position that they could if they only wanted to do so!
Do I really need to explain this for you?
Of course the stones are not in a position to do that and of course they would have no desire to be just like others should have no business in attempting to tell people what they should be doing.
Some people seem to believe that religion has a special right to be protected from criticism,well it does not.

Yes of course you are correct but let's face it what business does anyone have asking people to live their life how they see fit.
If I telephone the Vatican on Sunday morning and ask them to put the stones on the stereo instead of singing hymns I would expect to be told no and if I persisted in doing this throughout my life after a while I would expect my number to be blocked because I have no business asking people to live their life the way I think they should.
Some people may wish to live under a celestial North Korea but don't expect to include those that think for themselves in this.
Nate
They wouldn't block your number .....because they still think there is hope for you
These 1.2 billion don't share what? So what?
Sarcasm.... What are you talking about?
Nate is right. Music has done more good for humanity than any religion ever.
Ask the billions of catholic and/or islam fairytale believers to what level of sarcasm they have to live up to, because they can't cope with normal life and dead.

Who said that? I can only speak for myself, and I can assure you that I always criticized religions whenever I felt they deserved critical statements. As I've said before, I'm not exactly a religion defender.
What I've said was that the general tone of your comment in your first post was not only "disrespectful", but its content "downright stupid" - however, I should have better said: "downright naive".
I think that your "some people seem"-rants, even bringing North Korea into the picture, blow this out of all proportions and try to hide away the fact that you do exactly what you accuse others (in this case the Pope) for: Telling other people what to do and what not.
That's all I wanted to say. And I'm not even a catholic!
Please, grow up already.
However that may be, the fairy tales bit shall always be true.

The Pope should have requested the change of date BEFORE March 24th! I can understand from his perspective not wanting the show to be on Good Friday because Spanish folks are very religious, usually. Mick had to move the date once already because the President was visiting so moving it twice was out of the question. The Cuban fans would have gone crazy with 2 date changes! I'm certain, given the fact that the show was such an incredibly positive experience, all will be forgiven!

I'm not exactly a religion defender, but what you say here is not only disrespectful, but downright stupid.

maybe the pope should have got his priorities correct and realized what is really happening in the world today.
its a nasty world sometimes, pope should be getting everyone to examine thier own behaviour and what they contribute, instead of asking the stones to postpone a concert.

As a Catholic, I did feel icky checking for updates of the concert on Good Friday. The Pope knew the concert would not be moved, but he wanted to juxtapose a huge secular event with a day that is held sacred by many for two millenia.
I got the message from the Pope, but I am happy the Stones played for the Cuban people. A better date would have been preferred.
And here Stones fans are talking about Good Friday,
