Dear Katy Perry,
I really like your music. I mean the sound of it. It’s great for jumping around in one’s room or blasting in your car. It’s very catchy and it has good beats and good harmonies.
But. I cannot listen to most of your music because your are vulgar and indecent. Your lyrics are lamentably lascivious, lecherous, libertine, libidinous, licentious, loose, lustful, and lewd. You are always talking about having sex with guys and getting drunk and how they’re the best things ever.
I don’t agree – I’ve tried using sexual pleasure to satisfy me and it failed me and hurt me. I don’t appreciate you trying to get me to go back there and wallow in it again. It’s hard enough without your encouragement. So I am forced to change the station when I hear you come on the radio, and say goodbye to the awesome beat.
I’m told you started out as a Christian artist but went Pop because that’s where the money was. If that’s true, it’s quite a shame. (Check out Matthew 13, the Parable of the Sower, and put yourself in one of those categories.)
In any case, I will pray for you, because I know what does truly satisfy – a relationship with God through Jesus, the rescuer of your soul. I think it would be phenomenal if you turned to him and cast your hopes onto him – you’ve got a lot of reach and you could be a powerful influence for good. May the Lord grant your eyes to be opened to see him as the beautiful fountain he is.
Sincerely,
Ben Taylor
