dear rihanna.

Dear Rihanna,

As a partial fan of your music, I have a few things to share with you that are causing me concern. I'd like to state that I'm concerned, because you, like all men (and women) were created in the image of God by God and I don't think you understand that.

I can understand that you went through a very painful and traumatic event in the public eye and that you don't want to be seen as a victim, so you decided to come back and prove that Chris Brown was not going to keep you down, but...I feel like coming off as a whore and parading around on television in clothes that had to have been made for a prostitute is not the way to do it.

And your music? I'll be the first to admit that "Umbrella" was life-changing for me. Oh, that song! That song! Still speaks to my heart. But, your more recent singles, particularly, "Rude Boy," "What's My Name," and "S&M" are incredibly disturbing. The lyrics are too much to post on this web log and the videos are even worse.

gUrl, what happened to you? I know you've been hurt, but God loves you. A lot. To him, you are beautiful and pure. You don't have to be like this, this is a decision you made on your own. I just don't understand...surely, you have some self-respect? Right...?

I mean, seriously-- you can do better. I believe in you. Really.

I'd be happy to show you the bridge diagram sometime and tell you a story of heart-changing redemption through the work of Jesus Christ. It's a good one! Just think about it.

Anyway, lovies.
