Rolling Stones Bible Study?


The Rolling Stones is a band known for its drug use, sexual conquests and their rock-star lifestyle. The one thing you can say with confidence is that none of the members of the Rolling Stones can be held up as role models of the Christian life. Apparently these facts don't matter to the folks over at Standard Publishing. They've just developed a new Small Group Study Curriculum based on the Songs of the Rolling Stones called "Tuning Into God". (They didn't stop there. They also released Small Group Study Curriculum based on songs by the Eagles and the Beatles also.)
Maybe it is just us, but we think that Christians should be studying their BIBLES not songs written by worldly, secular, unregenerate pagans. Furthermore, HOW ON EARTH can Standard Publishing name a Small Group Study "Tuning Into God" and then base it on songs written by people are not "Tuned Into God" but are instead tuned into the world?!
If Standard Publishing was really interested in 'Tuning Into God' they'd stop mixing Bible studies with with songs from pagans who are dedicated to "Sex Drugs and Rock & Roll".
Maybe for an encore they could publish the Marilyn Manson Small Group Study.
