A Simple Circle or A Perfect Plan?

So everyone's favourite lip synching platinum blonde Madonna has stated in an interview that Kabbalah is the 'punk rock of religion.' Which caused me to a) Vomit as madonna was compairing something to punk rock and b) Cry because I was reading an interview with Madonna. I was shocked that a religion commonly publicised and practised by the rich, famous and often sellout section of society (along with Scientology) could be at all compared to Punk. Punk is a musical genre created and perfected by the outcasts, losers and freaks of society, not the Jocks and Cheerleaders of the world. Therefore as I contemplated this Kabbalah-Punk comparision I deemed it far more accurate to draw similarities between Punk and Christianity. I mean christians are not usually the coolest people in societies eyes and are often cast off to the side as they're 'to difficult to deal with' like punk bands. Much of society prefer safe and watered down corporate answers to punk (eg; A Simple Plan, Yellowcard) to the true raw and passionate honesty of true punk not corrupted by outside influences (eg; The Clash, NOFX). The spiritual comparission being that much of society prefers a safer watered down version of christianity or faith an attitude of it's just as good to appear spiritual and not take any risks A Simple Plan spirituality as opposed to total faith in Jesus a raw and passionate faith that rocks. And lets be honest Jesus was the first punk rocker - he stuck it to the man to the point of death and then just to prove the man was a complete dweeb and stick it to him further the dude rocks out of his grave three days later for an encore we're still living in. Yup Jesus invented the punk rock ethos and thats why Christianity is the Punk Rock of Faiths and/or Religions. :)

That is so awesome even though I like 'ruth punk' which is not really punk at all. I like Jesus lots tho. Can we still be friends?
