All of you Christian journalists and
magazine editors, don't you dare try to claim some association between David
Bowie and Christianity. You were always quick to denigrate his lifestyle, song
content, drug use and personae. Yet I already bumped into a Christian Post
article that said, "During his 40-plus-year
career, Bowie, who experimented with Christianity and appears to have
held on to parts of the experience …" What do any of us know about his
pilgrimage other than by Bowie's own confessions. What is known is that he
searched and dabbled. He told Ellen Degeneres in 2004 that he had experimented
with several religions like Tibetan Buddhism, Neitzsche-ism, Judaism, Satanism,
Christianity and "pottery" he amusingly added. Finally, he seemed to
settle on singing as his faith.
