11. I did

My dad used to sing that song in his performances and so it has extra special meaning to me. And President Obama sang it after the senseless slaughter at the church in South Carolina.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

31. OK. I'll be the dissent. I didn't.

How many more times are we going to hear that song this week? I cast my vote for less religious imagery in a secular event.

[GulfCoast66]

33. I'm a free thinker. But I sang along.

Joe is a devoted Christian. And most Americans are Christians as well. Perhaps before I die that will change. But I doubt it. Regardless it’s a big part of my culture even though I’m not a believer.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

35. I have no problem with that.

I sing in a semi-professional choir, and we do a fair share of religious music since the church was the prime funding agency centuries ago. I loved singing the Messiah. Amazing Grace is no Messiah, and it's just one I can't deal with for some reason.

I know Joe is a solid Catholic, and that doesn't bother me. I just wish we had to have less of a religious showing in our government functions. I'm sure it will never change, but a guy can dream.

[kskiska]

39. I grew up Catholic and was even in the junior choir

and the music was entirely Latin. I never even heard Amazing Grace until the movie "Silkwood."

[scrabblequeen40]

32. I did, with tears streaming down my face while driving home

from running an errand at the bank. What a helluva day we've had.

[Happy Hoosier]

34. I did... and I'm an atheist! NT

[MissMillie]

36. I didn't. But I sang along w/ Lady G

[msfiddlestix]

With gusto!
