He believed that some of the greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated by people under the guise of following a religion. The most noted indiscretions that he mentioned were slavery, racism, and other forms of bigotry, excluding the religious battles that resulted in deaths around the world.<br />Have you viewed Seattle SEO websitehttp://www.seattlesearchengineoptimization.net/_startup.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-58854450657219920352017-02-03T13:26:06.731-09:002017-02-03T13:26:06.731-09:00Actually, even talented people with nice voices ca...Actually, even talented people with nice voices can be royal assholes.Benjamin Doverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553001600854823789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-72550158547594674202017-01-01T05:46:56.477-09:002017-01-01T05:46:56.477-09:00He was all over the map with his beliefs.

I don't think it is lack of faith here or not believing in God. I believe he is stating. He does not abide with religion. That to have a relationship with our creator or higher spiritual being doesn't have to be in a church and it is for one'side own personal judgment or practice. I agree. I used to portray to be Christian. I now saw spiritual. I have a far better one on one relationship with God. I do believe in christ. I do agree much bloodshed has been on his name. That isn't his fault. Religious freaks. I now read Torah to find truth in bible, when compared they are so different. Shows how man has adjusted it to there interpretation. Leads many astray. I believe Frank Sinatra spoke truth and personal opinion. I applaud his honesty. I hope he wasn't criticized for this article. We are all entitled to our in thoughts and opinions.

Sinatra was certainly not an easy person to deal with all the time, and he may have been some of the bad things some people said here, but he was straighforward and sincere,could be very generous, and certainly he was not a hypocrit so there was integrity in his persona. And he a great and unique artist, of course. There are many books written on him, anybody can form their opinion - unless if course one knew him personally well enough, which is better. He remains one of my musical heroes.

(unless you believe otherwise) You ARE a product of your environment and time. The problem is that you are afraid (as am I) and, seek out others of your general view, for the comfort of your Being. Life is a complex challenge to survive, (again a physical tenet of life) and you believe, through association of others of your view, that yours, is the only possible correct view of life. I in my mind, and for the comfort of my Being, seek out those of my general view of reality, which may be completely different than yours but, that meet the same general outlook of reality, but using different methods and means to accomplish the same ending, to have a happy, healthy, and lengthy life and to pass on to our progeny an easier and further insightful state of Being. <br /><br />Religious belief in my view of reality, is a barrier to an easier and further insightful progeny. In my view, humanity is at war with religion itself and as I see it, fear of the unknown. In short, You can believe what you want, but please don't impose your view over mine. Because it is unknowable, there's no knowing who has the "right" view.JCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-84101852222665854282014-09-05T06:23:26.877-08:002014-09-05T06:23:26.877-08:00Obviously,...

The point of whether it was Frank Sinatra or a ghost-writer who wrote the responses is an almost irrelevant point owing to the fact it is Frank Sinatra's name on the top, and therefore Frank Sinatra who would suffer any backlash.<br /><br />I love the fact that most of the comments that belittle Sinatra, his personality, music and opinions are written by 'Anonymous', that wonderful online scapegoat for the assholes who love to share their opinions with 'the world', provided they don't have to also share their real names.

Frank Sinatra married Barbara Marx, Harpo's widow. Barbara Marx was a devout Catholic. Frank Sinatra became one as well in the last 10 years of his life. His funeral was at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills on May 20, 1998. He is buried at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, CA.
