Kenny G. 1, Pat Metheny 0

I just deleted an article I'd posted that tried to look (from a Christian perspective) at the jazz community's controversy over Kenny G.
A sensitive reader maintained that I was using scripture to bash Kenny. Well, I don't wholly agree (I did defend him, to a certain extent), but I was also somewhat critical of the G Man. What's more, my writing wasn't up to my personal standard (which should have been a clue to me in the first place.) So, in the interests of Christian love, I apologize to Kenny, my readers (those on both sides of the controversy), and to God, whose standard deserves preeminence.
