I am a long time loyal fan of Strange here to say, "End The Pledge" you are playing a dangerous game with God.

It's not just a game, and the pledge is not necessary.  Us true fans are down with Strange for the long haul.  We have purchased Strange artist through the years all the way back to 57th Street RDV's.

The implications of the pledge are too strong, I am a fan and a minister, I have met Tech in person and like the music because I understand the inner conflicts of the human nature and the God nature.  This pledge is not conflict, but is contradictory to spiritual prioritization.

Nice one...but...no.  Religion does bind people, in fact, that's kind of the point.  Religion excludes people that don't believe the same thing and it gives rules to live by.  I think if people are truly religious that is fine, but it's all of this flip flopping, hypocrisy and picking and choosing I don't like.  You can't support something that damns strangers to hell for eternity and then not live it 100%, which is the case with this minister.  He stands in front of people preaching holy things and then goes home and listens to Fuck Food and Seven Words...comon man...that's just straight hypocrisy.

I don't even know how to properly insult this, but...no...

Religion isn't meant to completely bind people from many things. People have religion all twisted nowadays.

Are you actually saying that reciting this pledge will have an impact on anything?  Give me a break man.  I do have a question though - how can you be a minister and a Tech/Strange fan at the same time?  Maybe if you only listened to "Holier than though" I could understand...but seriously...how can you preach the bible and go home and listen to outrageously secular music??  The pledge are just words....nothing more.  Calm down and listen to some christian rap.
Good point...its one thing to be aware of it, its another to be a fan, that's all I am saying.

I'm not religous, but how can you expect to herd your sheep if you don't listen to them?

I am not worried about the pledge.  I listened to Tech before the pledge because I appreciate good music, and admire his work ethic and God given abilities.  I dismiss things outside of my beliefs primarily as entertainment and or greed over responsibility.  Tech is obviously a smart man (as all of you pledge takers are an attestment).  He is also a rich man, and a grown man, as I am, nearly 40.  My kids are 14 and 12, and I don't mind if Tech aspires to be like God for his fans, but don't try to be him.  Tech deserves criticism from his grown listeners and it goes beyond the pledge.  I know what Tech believes, and it may surprise some of you.  If there is no belief there is not conflict.  Tech, stop leading the sheep astray and quit being so damn greedy.

there are songs that are alot worse than the pledge. i have no problem with the pledge and in no way do i think it has any reference to God. But look at what Tech allowed King Gordy to say about God on "Horns". someone mentioned "show me a God". i'm not gonna list all these songs but if you are worried about The Pledge, you shouldn't be listening to Tech
lol right on!

after Techs next album no one will even remember the pledge...its really not that big of a deal and in no way do I see him playing a game with God by having a pledge alot of ppl have pledges. He wrote it for the fans not for God.

''show me a god'' is a smart man questioning the relevincy of an imaginary being no person really knows exists....there is no fact that jesus ever even really existed either..... im sure me saying this will upset a few of you but if u read the bible and believe everything in it your really out of your mind(a man lived in a whales stomach for 40 days??? really?? lol)..... we are all so lucky to have an oppurtunity to experience tech n9ne's music and all of the strange family's music....if there is a god im grateful he put tech on this earth for me to have his music to help me get threw life.....tech and strange have always done things their way and the pledge is just testiment to that....the man will always do things to make people question him, its just in his nature....pledge or not i been a fan since before strange music even existed and will always be a fan no matter what....

even if he does this:

the pledge isnt that big of a deal just let it be.
Hahaha wow
So its okay to say that kinda shit when it comes to religion or practice to someone "god" but its not okay to feel that way with someone real? Tech is my god bitch. Fuck ur religion
That shit is all fake neway its a scheme just like money
And mostly all of u are blind to it
"In February 1891, while the ship was near the Falkland Islands, a lookout spotted a sperm whale several miles off. Two boats were launched; one succeeded in harpooning the whale, but the second was upended by the whale's tail and its crew tossed into the water. One man drowned and another, Bartley, could not be found.

The whale was killed and hauled to the side of the ship, where the crew set to work carving up the carcass. The next morning they hoisted the stomach on deck and were surprised to see signs of life. Inside they found the unconscious Bartley, who they doused with seawater and soon revived. For two weeks he was a raving lunatic, but by the end of the third week he'd fully recovered. Bartley recalled being swallowed by a great darkness, then slipping along a smooth passage until he came to a larger space. He felt slimy stuff around him and realized he'd been swallowed by the whale. He could breathe, but the heat sucked the energy out of him and eventually he passed out. The only lasting effect of the incident was that the skin of his face, neck, and hands was bleached to the color of parchment by the whale's gastric juices."

 

May or may not be true, but still, even if its not, it shows the idea isn't completely crazy.
