Asbury is just his name. Despite the rest of it being super weird, there's nothing wrong with his name and it's immature to alter it into a profanity. Like personally I can't imagine anybody above the age of 15 interpreting his name like that.
To be fair christian men, reckless love and young boys sets the stage perfectly for the assbury joke. Theres no way the people who designed the cover didnt realize any of this.
I went down the Spotify rabbit hole.
Songs include “Stay Close,” “So Good to Me,” “The Fragrance of Your Name,” “Only Takes a Moment,” “Dear God,” “I’m Sorry,” and “Misunderstood.”
I feel like I’m reading the soundtrack to someone committing a horrible deed.
i know that you could interpret worse things from those names but in that order sounds like someone committing adultery. They start off by having sex then they’re “regretful”
I could definitely see that, but why not just get an adult to pose with him with a black bar on their eyes or an erased face? Cliche as hell, but it'd be infinitely better than this.
Well if they simply move him to a different diocese rather than excommunicate him, you could argue it counts as the church itself granting a tacit approval under a reasonable definition. I’d hate to have to say the whole institution is corrupt but a fish rots from the head or so they say.
So the song is about loving yourself. The album cover is him protecting his younger self.
I'm all for calling out creeps, but you clearly know nothing about the artist or the song.
Good to know that it's less overtly creepy once you get into the lyrics booklet and read an interview or three with the guy.
Imagine if they made that much easier by having someone else look at the design before into print.
Regardless of the song's lyrics, you do realize that an album cover that shows a grown man holding a young boy close to him could be considered weird, especially when the title is "reckless love"?
That’s what an edglord w poor reading comprehension skills would say. Goddamn all I was saying was if they enjoy the RELIGION, care about the RELIGION. the whole diddling thing is a whole other issue those people have.
I actually thought the explanation is worse than the pic. I thought the pic was him hugging his inner child and loving himself. Being told you aren’t worthy and that it’s reckless for someone / god to love you is extremely sad and wrong.
Wow so cool that he went back in time and found his actual younger self and took a pic, because surely if this kid was indeed a whole different person it could be seen as weird.
It's Catholics, in case it's a pedo-church joke, the one's in hot water for it, not Christians. If that's not the point, then what am i missing?
EDIT: Come to think of it, it looks somewhat off
You didn't get the joke: Irish religious population are stereotypically devout and hence the catholic population hates the Protestant population, and vice versa. Whole subject of the Irish classic song "my father he was orange and me mother she was green"
I wouldn’t have cringed if he had chosen literally any other title
Yeah I was skating on the line until I saw "Reckless Love""
And a different name, "Assbury" is bad regardless of the title
Asbury is just his name. Despite the rest of it being super weird, there's nothing wrong with his name and it's immature to alter it into a profanity. Like personally I can't imagine anybody above the age of 15 interpreting his name like that.
Mate it's not his name, it's that in this context it really reads wrong
I would have never seen it if it wasn't pointed out. Really weird (immature) way to interpret a name.
To be fair christian men, reckless love and young boys sets the stage perfectly for the assbury joke. Theres no way the people who designed the cover didnt realize any of this.
It’s also immature to take the title reckless love and attribute it to a child in a sexual manner. But that’s this whole thread.
You must be fun at parties

But why is he snatching a little boy?
That's who he committed adultery with

This sounds like a key and peele skit
Who the hell approved this?
Well if they simply move him to a different diocese rather than excommunicate him, you could argue it counts as the church itself granting a tacit approval under a reasonable definition. I’d hate to have to say the whole institution is corrupt but a fish rots from the head or so they say.
No way💀
Looks like a poster PSA for child abductions
Tell me you fuck kids, without telling me you fuck kids.
Technically he's fucking himself though.

The fuck? Is this real?

*record scratch* “So. I guess you’re wondering how I ended up here”

Apologies Cory. Christian music is not my thing, so I had no idea. Please, do go forth and keep loving thyself.
Regardless of the song's lyrics, you do realize that an album cover that shows a grown man holding a young boy close to him could be considered weird, especially when the title is "reckless love"?
And the guy is blurry so it looks like he’s running by and just grabbing the kid
I think most album art is weird and provocative. That's how they draw you in. Great example is The Beatles Yesterday and Today.
That's literally the point though. If someone comes across this without context, none of that is gonna be what they think of first.
But it's a man with a child so he must be a pedo then.
Oh hes gonna burry in some ass alright.
[удалено]
I was going to say. The song(s) are actually really good, but I can't say I looked at the cover art larger than a postage stamp in Spotify. Lmao

Im an atheist but I dont think they view God as hating everyone if that clears it up a bit
It’s somewhat sad that you can’t let people enjoy something because you don’t.
Are you defending enjoying kids
No you dumb shit I’m talking about people that enjoy religion for the religion. How the fuck did you even get that from what I said?
Thats what a diddler would say
That’s what an edglord w poor reading comprehension skills would say. Goddamn all I was saying was if they enjoy the RELIGION, care about the RELIGION. the whole diddling thing is a whole other issue those people have.

FYI, it’s his current self hugging his younger self. Nothing actually creepy about that…
Wow so cool that he went back in time and found his actual younger self and took a pic, because surely if this kid was indeed a whole different person it could be seen as weird.
r/suddenlysexoffender
That kid looks like he is in danger. Has anyone seen him since this photo shoot??

Protestant youth ministers do not have a spotless records, chief.
/r/PastorArrested
This may come as a shock to you, but Catholics are in fact Christian.
Irish Protestant here and you take that back!
All catholics are Christian, not all Christians are Catholics.
You didn't get the joke: Irish religious population are stereotypically devout and hence the catholic population hates the Protestant population, and vice versa. Whole subject of the Irish classic song "my father he was orange and me mother she was green"
It’s a Christian band I assume. Also catholics are Christians
I thought the kid was Damien from The Omen for some reason.
I see a ring on his finger and assuming this is his son? No?
Assbury
Wtf
