i love to listen to religious music.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Church music is music written for performance in church, or any musical setting of ecclesiastical liturgy, or music set to words expressing propositions of a sacred nature, such as a hymn. Christianity began as a small, persecuted Jewish sect. At first there was no break with the Jewish faith; Christians still attended synagogues and the Second Temple in Jerusalem just as Jesus Christ had done, and presumably still carried on the same musical traditions in their separate Christian meetings. The only record of communal song in the Gospels is the last meeting of the disciples before the Crucifixion. Outside the Gospels, there is a reference to St. Paul encouraging the Ephesians and Colossians to use psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Later, there is a reference in Pliny the Younger who writes to the emperor Trajan (61\u2013113) asking for advice about how to prosecute the Christians in Bithynia, and describing their practice of gathering before sunrise and repeating antiphonally \"a hymn to Christ, as to God\". Antiphonal psalmody is the singing or musical playing of psalms by alternating groups of performers. The peculiar mirror structure of the Hebrew psalms makes it likely that the antiphonal method originated in the services of the ancient Israelites.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I love Church Music because it was written as a performance in a church! It's so much fun to see how much people believe in their faith and I am not all to religious myself though."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wow! I'm not a very religious person either but I also love some of the styles, cadences, and nuances used in the church music performances that I've seen."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes! The enthusiasm in church music is awesome! It's why I love going to football, soccer, or basketball games! Everyone is so amped up for who they believe in!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I agree, it seems to me that some people are able to channel their beliefs and use them at public events like these. I try to channel my emotions in similar ways."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yup emotions are an \"internal phenomena that can, but do not always, make themselves observable through expression and behavior\" What gets you as excited that makes you channel your emotions extrovertedly?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Sometimes I worry a lot, or feel insulted, or some kind of negative emotion and I try to channel the uncomfortably that I feel into work, or a project that I'm working on. I basically aim to turn negative feelings in me to positive action."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Basically you're emotionally self regulating! You're making anything and everything into a positive action even if it stemmed from a negative emotion! That's a great ability and attitude to have! I try to do that but sometimes I fail because I let my emotions get to me."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I like that term for it. Yea it is definitely my goal and sometimes I don't quite reach it because I let my emotions get to me as well. The overwhelming nature of emotions at times interests me. "}]
