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.

You need more Faith SON!

I had faith, i guess i lost it somewhere in time where i can't go back.
I've been in this basement for a couple years now hoping to find a sign of god, or atleast some kind of messege,
because i've seen the diffrences and needs people have around the world, that i have and others dont,
wich just put me in a position to look at things how it is, and not how i read it to be in the bible,
I mean, i do agree with the bible and everything it has to offer, as in good advice, But i can't see how one man can die for the world, and everyone is dieng for this one man thats already dead, and believing in him, I wish i could feel my heart and emotions of love like you guys, cause your much older and still have hearts, i believe..
But i've kind of reflected on what i've seen in life, young kids poor, dieng, etcetera, And sometimes i ask myself, Why am i in this basement right now, And what is the purpose of me being away from the place i was born to be,
But like you and me, we just can't and don't have the power to change others feelings and how they feel about others, im kind of ashamed of what this world has really turned into... so i listen to music, and reminisce on the times i thought where good.

I think the pledge is legit, creative, and definitely not a big deal. (: i like it & getting rid of it would be pointless since its been out for so long any ways.

 

Religion itself is the very definition of cult. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cult. Religious people scare me. Insanely deluded and the ultimate hypocrites. Please use the logic and reason you have to save yourselves.

Then Tech N9ne would not be a cult leader, he would be the inspiration of a cult. That doesn't mean he would be at fault, some people hear things differently to others. Like people who hear cult-following and get stuck on the world cult...

@ The Crazy Englishman

Ok, that makes sense. I see what you are saying. I was also trying to tie in the fact that people in cults normalize their beliefs and see no wrong in what they are doing, as well as not being aware of their cult status. I guess what I'm really asking is if you think this applies to Tech fans: are they not aware of a cult status? With all of the evidence going for or against the argument, what do you think??

Also, do you think there are fans out there that have created an actual cult? From what I've seen of Tech fans, I don't think it would surprise me if a news story broke out about a cult surrounding Tech did something stupid.

This is an interesting topic and most people I know don't know enough to discuss it. Glad there is some participation in this.

Well.... we all know its not a Cult or whatever they assume it to be.....so playing a game with god should nOt matter unless we know who this male/female whos calling himself/herself  GOD?????   because if we the people find out the bible isn't facts then like tech says IF HE OR SHE IS LISTENING A MERE SIGN CAN SPARK ME BUT IF THE LAWS IN THE BIBLE ARE BOGUS THAN PREPARE FOR ANARCHY.......WORSE CASE SCENARIO IS THERE NEVER EVER WAS A HIGHER POWER SO IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS NOW THE ONLY REAL SAVIOR IS FIRE POWER.   Enough said.

CHECK AND MATE!!!!!!!!

Concepts outlined in the Pledge:

 - Unity

 - Love

 - Refusal to be corrupted by evil

 - Rejection of hatred

 - Using inner strength to overcome pain and stress

 

I would point out that every one of the above concepts are extremely Christian in nature and were preached by Jesus Christ during his ministry.

 

Concepts NOT outlined in the Pledge:

 - Tech N9ne as an idol to be worshipped

 - Rejection of God/Jesus

 - Greed

 

People are reading entirely too much into the pledge. Just because Tech N9ne wants his fans to make a pledge of love and unity doesn't mean he's trying to take God's place. In fact, the pledge teaches many of the same concepts Christianity does. As a minister, you should know that, Griff. Hard-line Christians can take issue with a LOT of Tech N9ne's material, but seriously? To single out the Pledge of a Technician over any one of the hundreds of Tech N9ne songs which glorify a sinful lifestyle is just...stupid.

 

If you disagree, please explain how any of the concepts in the pledge, which I have outlined above, are "contradictory to spiritual prioritization."

 

For those people who are simply complaining about the Pledge because they hate the "Stans" among Tech N9ne's fans lately...deal with it. There's only going to be more of them as he becomes more famous. Fame breeds Stans and haters alike. You need to learn that there's a LOT of people out there who you won't like but who like the same things you do. Just ignore them and enjoy the art for its own value.

only if u believe in god

APPARENT CULTS:

 

Green Bay Pakers fans=Cheese Heads

Lil' Wayne fans= Martians

Gods believers = Christians, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, ect...

Residents of states = Texans, Californians, Virginians, Oklahomans, ect....

 

 

 

and so on, and so on

 

so if you call yourself one of these APPARENTLY YOUR ARE PART OF A CULT..............

 

everyone is reading so far into this simple little thing that Tech thought would be fun for his fans to say at his shows with him, that its fuckin ASININE!!!! i cant believe THE PLEDGE has raised all this blah blah blah and there are songs like Show Me A God, Real Killer, In The Trunk and on and on and on.......WOW!!!!!    REALLY?????

 

This is Tech Provoking yall and you fall for it every time.......Dont you relize this is what this man does. He puts something on an album to see what the reactions will be, and from what i've read theres 80% dumb responses here 10% are just idiotic trolls and 10% are actually intelligent Arguments.

 

For people to just simply say that the pledges is stupid or tech is dumb for putting that on an album or whatever the haters posted about it is just STUPID.....

 

I for 1 think if you dont want to say the pledge then dont say it, thats your choice........to compare something like this as a religion is FUCKING RETARDED let me say that again FUCKING RETARDED........

 

Im a Techn9cian and i will be til Tech stops doing music.......its really funny how far people take something when they think its goining against "GOD"

I say your a fucking dumm ass
