The Temptations or The Four Tops? Bailey Quarters or Jennifer Marlowe? ---

I think it’s only believers who feel the need to resist Temptations. ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > I think it’s only believers who feel the need to resist Temptations. Nailed it in one. I have plenty of temptations, some of which I resist because I know they aren’t good for me (excessive ice-cream, expensive camera lenses) and some that I indulge in moderately, but no Temptations-with-a-capital-T that I must resist or forever be condemned to a fiery pit. I don’t stay up at night worrying about how to resist the Awful Temptation of Sin. Also, lumping together “non-Christians, unbelivers, and Athiests” into a single category that must resist Temptation? Really? Do you not think other religions have their own absolute moral codes? ---

I actually prefer the Tops. Maybe it’s because I’m Jewish. ---

Bailey Quarters all the way. And I’m fairly ambivalent about the whole Temps/Tops thing. ---

As an agnostic I invite both Bailey and Jennifer to share a bed with me as we listen to a variety of golden oldies. ---

The Temptations or The Four Tops? - Don’t cares. Bailey Quarters or Jennifer Marlowe? - All good men agree: Bailey. It’s when you get into such quesions as Bailey with or without glasses or Bailey with hair up or down that religious wars can start. ---

> [@Dervorin](#): > > I hadn’t had my coffee when I replied to this. > Did something just fly over my head? Yes. So far above your head you didn’t even hear the whoosh. But that’s okay. It can serve as a warning to others about the dangers of coffee-deprived posting. I love the Temptation/Four Tops battles where after the first couple of numbers, they start singing the other groups hits. Sure, it’s all rehearsed but I still enjoy it greatly.

Neither and neither. I am not too terribly fond of soul/R&B, and I’m a heterosexual female. ---

I’m Evangelical Right-wing Christian & I feel compelled to enter this thread with the answer… Bailey preferably, but I can certainly appreciate Jennifer! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/another-question-for-non-christians-unbelivers-and-athiests/668637.md?page=2)
