Sufjan Stevens has been pondering the Bible, and he thinks that sure qualities are under-appreciated. “The Bible’s very homosexual,” he informed Vulture. “Simply all males. That’s what you get when there’s a patriarchy that’s endured for therefore lengthy. Jesus was single, by no means married; Disciples have been all dudes…”
He added, “The spiritual may be very sexual. It’s erotic. Take a look at Catholic artwork by way of the ages, Baroque artwork. It’s all very fleshy and sensual and filled with bare our bodies. I’ve all the time embraced that. I’ve all the time felt that my relationship to God is a really intimate and sensual one. Sacraments are. It’s partaking with God in a bodily approach. You’re actually consuming the flesh and consuming the blood of God through the Eucharist. It doesn’t get far more erotic than that. If you happen to’re a vampire, that’s the last word erotic expertise.
Stevens not too long ago previewed the upcoming tenth anniversary version of his album Carrie & Lowell with the “Loss of life with Dignity” demo.”
