Comment:

I stole this idea from my good friend Thomas. I will show it to him when I get the chance, but hopefully he'll appreciate it and not feel cheated. I had a little trouble filling the evil/devil part. I hope you like it. Who do you think won? I'd like to point out that the John Lennon song, famously, says that "God is a concept by which we measure our pain." But it still addresses God/Jesus or whatever. Also, I could have included about 8 million Iron and Wine songs, so I just chose one.

Some interesting choices. I've added you to the Thank God, Religious Mixes exhibit - you can look & see how some others handled the same concept.

Well I realized that I accidentally put Red House Painters on there twice while fiddling with the order...but since the "Update Mix" function is absolutely broken, there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry.

I really like the idea. But it could use Murder By Death's "The Devil in Mexico." Just my opinion. It's a really good mix and a great idea.

I like it. This is one of the biggest themes in pop music, aside from jilted hearts and unrequited love, and the choices you've made here are interesting.
