Christian Music. Real Music.

[emplynx]

Who all listens to Christian Music?
I like:
Audio A
Relient K
MXPX
Scarecrow and Tinmen
Rebecca St. James
Stacie Orrico
Five Iron Frenzy
Pillar

Mostly punk and rock...

[fireworks19]

I normally don't, but I would as long as its not preach-y. I've heard Audio A...I didn't like it, felt a bit reptitive. =)

[Varda]

i once listened to jars of clay... that was way way back at the beginning of high school (1995/6-ish)... what ever happened to them? and wasn't creed originally a christian band?

[Darth Tater]

I thought the title of this thread was Christian Music vs. Real Music at first.

[samwise of the shire]

I like 4 him and zoe girl. I'm not into the punk kind of sound. Has anyone here heard of Petra? They had a song that I cant get out of my brain and maybe you guys could help me with the lyrics or where I can find the song or something.

[XRogue]

I've heard of Petra, in fact I have most of their albums. Which song is it you have stuck in your brain, Samwise? I can likely identify it myself or find someone who can.


BTW, I like Stryper and Whitecross, also. I'm stuck in the days of big hair. ;)

[samwise of the shire]

Red is the color of the blood that was shed....Forgot the rest of this verse
Brown is the color of the leaves that fall....I forgot the rest of this verse too.

Those are the only two verses I can remember and I cant find the song ANYWHERE, it has a real pretty meldoy too so that's why I asked.
BTW thanks Xrogue, and anyone who'll help.
One of my favorite songs is "Our God Is An Awsome God", Rich Mullins right.

[XRogue]

Oh, I know all of that one! It's called the Coloring Song, and it is from on of Petra's first albums, "Never Say Die". I can write down all the lyrics for you if you'd like.

And yes, Awesome God is Rich Mullins' song. You have any of his other stuff?

[galadriel]

Jars of Clay is ok. I've actually discovered that Lifehouse is a kinda-Christian band, although not all their music is Christian. Everything and Breathing are both awesome songs.

[samwise of the shire]

YES DO! I wont be coming back on here until January so if you could e-mail the lyrics to me I'd like that. :)
Actually I dont have any of Rich Mullins tapes or CDs but I want to get some, Awsome God is the BEST though he's just great, but he died of a car accident in 97 which is a bummer, I liked his voice.
DOn Fransicos songs were good to but I absolutly LOVE....This is probably dorky but I could'nt care less if it is or not.....Veggie Tales are great for listening to in the car, I like trying to imitate the voices and all. Funny.
Thanks Rouge. Looking foward to your reply :)

[XRogue]

Message sent. :D

VeggieTales!! WooHooo!! "I am that hero!"

[Darth Tater]

The bunny, the bunny, ooh I love the bunny! We are the pirates who don't do anything! It'd be too bad i'd be so sad i might get mad i'd call my dad it'd be too bad, usta! and on and on and on...

[emplynx]

Everybody's got a water buffalo. Yours is fast and mine is slow...

[XRogue]

Is it my imagination, or does Aunt Ruth have a beard?

[samwise of the shire]

We are the pirates who dont do anything, we just stay at home and lie around, and if you ask us to do anything we'll just tell you we wont do ANYTHING. LOL. I only have one of their movies but I want to get more.
Sam

[Ozymandias]

I'm into Third Day, Jars of Clay, Rich Mullins.... I need to find some Stryper. heheh

[samwise of the shire]

Het X could you e-mail me the Coloring song lyrics. Thankx

[XRogue]

I'll get 'em to you again, Samwise. My email is broken. I'll get it fixed this evening.

[Finmandos12]

One word: O. C. Supertones. (Well, that's actually two letters and a word.)

[Finglas]

Larry and Bob are definitely the Simon an Garfunkel of the computer animated Christian vegetable artistic scene, but has anyone heard P.O.D's album 'Satelite'? IMO they are the best Christian band around right now.

[Alethes]

I listen to some Christian music, but I can't think of any particular groups I like. It just depends on the song. I like some (but not all) songs by Seven-Day Jesus and Zoe Girl (sp?).

I do like most Veggie-Tales songs. I used to help watch the nursery at church, and the kids always wanted to watch the first Veggie-Tales sing-along. As a result, I know every song from that tape. I got pretty sick of Veggie-Tales for a while, but I like them again now.

I like singing hymns (they have harmony parts, and I like singing harmony), but I don't know if that's what was meant by the thread title.

I like Five Iron Frenzy
Ive pratically memorized those stupid..not my pants tracks..on "Quanity is job one"
I really liked one of their songs but I cant remember what its called. Its on the blue and white cd...
"Our hero young and bold...something..something..something
and feels the constant feeling of nothingness inside of him..."
Do you know what that song is called???

[emplynx]

I have that CD, I will look for the title later.

[Starr Polish]

None of you have heard of LaRue? You should definately check them out...I love LaRue!!!! WHEE.

Petra is cool, I like "Baby" (I think that's what it's called). Mercy Me is good as well. Hmm...Rebecca St. James is very talented :D

Seriously, check out LaRue, they have awesome songs ::runs around:: I first found out about them at a concert, and fell in love with their music.

[Mihara of Yeldar]

I like
Audio Adrenalin (saw em live at the Miles Ahead Crusade in San Diego last July 4)
Out of Eden (@ MAC 2)
Salvadore (also MAC)
Rebecca St. James
that guy that sings "Meaning in this mystery", "Smell the Color 9", "Face of Christ" (I know his name, just cant think of it"
Delirious?
O.C. Supertones
Point of Grace
Vienna
and Something Like. Silas (they're a local band, but they rock!).
Pretty much eclectic, other than the point they're all on Celebration on VH1.com.

[Starr Polish]

Ahh, Vienna! They were at that concert, yeah, they were pretty cool, but didn't they 'break up' since one of the girls is getting married?

[galadriel88]

I have heard OF LaRue, but I have never heard them!

I really like POD. Great, clean, rock songs.

[Starr Polish]

YOu must must must hear LaRue...::goes crazy:: Their songs are very relatable.

[Ozymandias]

that guy that sings "Meaning in this mystery", "Smell the Color 9", "Face of Christ" (I know his name, just cant think of it" It's Chris Rice.

I just got a CD called "the end and the beginning" by a guy named Matt Maher out of Mesa, AZ. This is one of the coolest CDs I've heard in a long time. It's Matt's first CD and I don't think it's really distributed so it's probably hard to come by if you're not in the Phoenix area. A friend of mine sent it up to me.

[Twilight]

I like ones that you can sing along with. I like hymns and worship music mostly.

[Wayfarer]

I don't usually visit this forum, but heh.

I like Audio Adreneline a lot. My favorite band.
Joy Electric and Ginny Owens are right up there as well.

I also like:

Sonic Flood
Delerious
Jars of Clay
Third Day
Rebecca Saint James
Jennifer Knapp
Steven Curtis Chapman
Chris Rice

and then some.

Starr you like LaRue too? Cool! Most people I know haven't heard of them.

[Starr Polish]

I know, and it's too bad. They're amazing!

[ryan]

MXPX aren't christian-rock. People just seem to think that because in some of their earlier stuff (not even every song) they sang about jesus loving you, turning to jesus, and one of my fav's, 'sugar coated poison apple'.. which is as far as i can tell, about the garden of eden. but really, they're not christian rock. They're just christians who rock ;) Strange band though. Who the hell names a band magnified plaid? Anyways, if they're christian, so is kid rock ;) (ooonly goood knows wwwhhyyy!)

[Alethes]

What I've heard about the "magnified plaid" name is that if you magnify plaid, it looks like it has tiny crosses all over it.

I don't listen to MXPX, but I know people who do. I've heard a couple of their songs; they weren't immoral songs, but they didn't seem Christian and were pretty pointless (and hard to understand!).

[Glorious Glorfindel]

i LOVE audio a, but i love the world wide message tribe even more. n e one heard of them?
they r totally cool, i saw them play once, and i have their CD's, but woz just wondring if n e one else had heard of them
:confused:

[crickhollow]

haha, what a fun thread! I'm not big into Christian rock like I was in grade 10, but what I like is quirky stuff.
Newsboys "Take Me to Your Leader" album will always hold a special place in my heart, as well as "Going Public". John James was the most, um... creative song writer I've come across in a long time.
Anybody ever heard of Steve Taylor?
I also like Audio A (the plant song on Underdogs!)
O.C. Supertones (how could I not? they're from my birthplace--mission viejo, CA...just a few blocks from my old house)
Jars of Clay has a new album out, but I haven't heard it
Burlap to Cashmere (although I'm not sure what kind of music you can classify it as)
Petra? that's old stuff! They were around in the 70s w/ Larry Norman! Gotta love the coloring song, though.

most of the Christian music I listen to now is acoustic guitar, like
Michael Card (yeah, I know, your PARENTS listen to Michae Card. Shut up.)
Rich Mullins
Bebo Norman (He toured with Jennifer Knapp last fall)
and Chris Rice

[crickhollow]

World Wide Message Tribe...wait...it's coming back to me...
are they the ones that sang:

"Tell the world the message
take it everywhere
to every tribe and nation
we are called to share."

?

Are they still around?

[XRogue]

Actually Petra still puts out albums. They are a LOT of fun in concert too.

I met Rich Mullins in 1991 at Second Baptist in Houston where he was doing a concert. Wonderful sweet man. Can't believe he is gone. :(

And I like Michael Card.

[crickhollow]

Is John Schlitt still w/ Petra? I thought he was striking out on his own.

Hey, you're from Dallas/Ft.Worth area? I was there for a week once, I hope I never go back! J/k :D But really, now, the red dirt is terrible! We did get caught in a thunderstorm--I've never seen it rain that hard in my life! Very cool.

[XRogue]

No, John Schlitt is still very much with Petra, he has done one or two solo projects, but has no plans to leave the band. Being that Petra has been around for 30 years, its a good steady job.

Heh, I'm originally from Houston, you should see the rainstorms there if the ones in D/FW impressed you. In Houston it rains like that out of a clear blue sky. And the red dirt up here is nasty for anything but growing grass (the lawn variety, stop thinking 'weed' :D ) or cotton and so forth. Have to get real dirt to grow veggies round here. Bums me out. But we had a lovely mild winter here.

[Kyote Fields]

Delirious rocks (gonna see them in concert next monday)
and Jars of Clay (got thier new album "The eleventh hour" - it's so-so)
Also Rich Mullins (love his lyrics but his songs are really hit and miss, either really good or really bad)
Matt Redman is great
But my biggest gripe about most Christain bands is that they are uncreative musicians. You put any Chistian band in the secular world and they wouldn't last a minute, because they're no good!!
But since they have the market cornered (Christian consumers) they feel no need to extend themselves father then they need to .
It sucks because what should be the message behind thier songs is so vital.
All that being said, does anyone thnk U2 is Christian?

[Wayfarer]

Erm... Are you serious?

POD (duh ,a christian band) was up for a grammy or whatever in the hardcore division this year.

[Kyote Fields]

They are very much the exception and not the rule.

[Ararax]

yea i think that most christain bands cant make it in the secular market cause the other ones are either moralistic like creed and u2
or in the rare case are POD

[Starr Polish]

I personally think LaRue's song "Movie Star" MIGHT make it, but I just really like that song.

Yeah, it's funny, POD climbed up the TRL charts, and most of the kids had no idea what they were really talkign about.

[dark over lord]

finally some where differant. ok guys go herehttp://www.air1radio.com/videos/ (music videos) for some good songs. i recommend jars of clay's flood

[Glorious Glorfindel]

the world wide message tribe ARE still around. i dunno if n e one in the uk has heard of it, but every year there is this christian music camp called LIGHTHOUSE. it is beyond cool, and last year they played a lot of the wwmt music. since then, i have bought nearly all their albums. n e one listen 2 them?

[Kyote Fields]

Hey no one answered my question.
Is U2 a Christian band?

[Glorious Glorfindel]

i don't reckon they would classify themselves as a christian band, but loads of their lyrics talk about god, and thankful words and stuff.

[crickhollow]

sixpence none the richer is a Christian band

[Starr Polish]

Yeah, one Christian book stopre wouldn't sell there albums any more because they toured with Barenaked Ladies, and they were offended by the name.

[crickhollow]

I don't have a whole lot to do with Christian bookstores anymore. They have their heads in the sand.

[Kyote Fields]

And they're so friggin expensive!!! Ahhh... it's horrible. Regadless I just finished reading a book called "Walk On. The spritual journey of U2." It was written by a pastor. Seems he believes, and I do in a way as well, that you don't have to be singing Halleluja all the time. Sometimes you can look at the world and sing about what you see and sometimes *gasp* you can be mad at God because he doesn't make sense and write and sing about that. Thing is most Christians think that to be singing " I have cursed thy rod and staff. They no longer comfot me" is to be Anti-Christian.
I don't think so. Opinions?

[Brimvalir]

I like Keith Greens song - The Prodigal Son :)

[Finrod Felagund]

Yeah Keith Green's pretty good but old.


I love Jars of Clay
Third Day
Newsboys

WHAT ABOUT DC TALK!?!?!?!?!
THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like most different kinds of Christian music but these are some of my Favourites.



I like "Testify To Love" by Avalon. I like singing that song as well.

[dream wanderer]

Does anyone here like black Christian artists????:) I find they get left out of a lot of these discussions.

I think my favorite right now is Mary Mary.


U2 is a band that has several Christian members but they are not a Christian band. They didn't feel 'called' to further the Christian agenda ...whatever that is.
I know Bono has gone incognito to a Christian music festival in England...cause Tony Campollo (a popular minister) was there with him...


dream wanderer

[Faramir]

I love going to my teen mass. It's like going to a concert! There's electric violin(my favorite), piano, guitar, drums, all sorts of stuff! There's also wonderful singers.

[Andúril]

I like some of Marilyn Manson's stuff.

[BeardofPants]

Now there's an avid christian!

Not meaning to diss religion at all, but a lot can be said of the fact that despite the numbers of christians far out waying athiests/agnostics, their music still hasn't broken into the mainstream.

[emplynx]

I agree with you BoP. But it has nothing to do with the quality of Christian music. (Some has gone mainstream though, DC Talk's Jesus Freak and Jars of Clay. Those are two of them.) People, just don't think that Christian music is cool because it doesn't talk about raping someones sister or killing your mother. Many Christians are embarrased to listed to Christian music.
I only listen to Christian and there really is an amazing selection of Christian Music.
You could name almost any band and I could name a good christian substitute - Without the cussing and raving about sex.

Yes and no. I think a lot of it has to do with quality. Someone brought it up earlier in the thread that they're just not being innovative enough, and I would have to agree with them. BUT, then I have to say that a lot of modern music is crap and not particularly innovative either. It's not just a phenomenon of christian music. And I would just like to point out here that I listen to a LOT of music (I don't like modern music), and the majority of it doesn't have cussing or sex in it. Off the top of my head, Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra weren't overtly rude and trashy mouthed.

[dream wanderer]

The duet I mentioned...Mary Mary is also having some mainstream sucess. They were kind of like Jars of Clay...they didn't intend to 'go mainstream'...it sort of just happened.

Someone started playing their song "Unshackled" in dance clubs and it went from there...surprised the group.

I agree BOP. There is alot of excellent of good, clean secular music. I don't condem it at all. I mostly choose not to listen to it though. I have no problem with people listening to stuff like that.

[Claenoic]

I listen to Zoe Girl (I love their new CD, Life) and Go Fish, and Oikos Worship.

[Starr Polish]

I went to see Go Fish with a friend of mine, but her father (a preacher) got mad and dragged us out of there, because they weren't singing songs about God.

?

[Carafin]

I like Audio Adrenaline, Out of Eden, Point of Grace, Zoegirl and lots of others...I just can't think of names :) I don't have alot of C.D.s but one of the ones I have is WOW,which has a mix of music
I also listen to secular music, but I'm very picky :) however not all sec. music has cussing and sex in it (lucky for me:D )

[Shadowfax]

Has anyone heard of hte Christian band "Jake"? They're from Alberta, Canada and I think they're 3 brothers or something. They're pretty good.

I love Jars of Clay, DC Talk is okay. I used to listen to all secular stuff but for the last two or so years, all I've listened to is a Christian radio station, and it's great. My sisters love Zoe Girl and La Rue, too.

[Glorious Glorfindel]

is that the WOW 2000 or 2001 cd? that's got sum great stuff on it. point of grace is good as well, we have done some of that stuff in church.

[Carafin]

it is the wow 2002 c.d. and I like just about every song on it :D the other kind of music that I like (other than"mainstream" ) is classical-Beethoven and Tchaikovsky are my especial favourites :)

[Finrod Felagund]

Actually, on Saturday night I went to a Newsboys concert in Toronto! Thousand Foot Krutch and Jake opened for them. It was awesome. :D

And only $25! :D

[Jadera]

I adore Steven Curtis Chapman. He's my favorite Christian musician at the moment. Also:
DC Talk
Newsboys-going to see them in concert at Six Flags this summer!!
Carmen
Michael W. Smith
Chris Tomlin-Passion cds anyone? He sang at the youth camp I just got back from. Amazing band.
Crimson Clay
And yes, of course, Veggie Tales

I'm a Christian and I listen to a variety of secular music. As long as it doesn't have sex and cussing in it, I don't see a problem with some of it. God gave music to mankind, ya know? I just avoid things that are depressing and darken my mind.
Because I'll tell you, I'm the first person in line the next time Dave Matthews plays in my area. :D

[Frodo&Merry'sGurl]

I really like Rebecca St. James, I went to a concert of hers and it was awesome. I also like Sonic Flood, MWS, Clear, Newsboys, DC Talk, Third Day....

[emplynx]

[Frodo&Merry'sGurl]

Not only was Rebecca's singing good, but her message on abstinance was really good too.

[Finrod Felagund]

Take this thread back to the top

[samwiselvr2008]

I love Vegytails! (Did I spell that right?) I also love this song that I am listening to right now, it is called We Love You Jesus by Greg Long, it is great, I have it downloaded onto the computer and listen to it every time that I get on, sometime soon I will copy it onto a CD! I also like Yes Jesus loves me by Georgia Mass Choir (never heard of them, but I typed in Jesus Loves me and found it).

I just downlaoded the Color Song by Petra, it's great, I have heard my friend singing it before, and was wondering what it was called.

I am also downloading Picture Frame by LaRue, is that the right person? I don't think that I ever have listend to music by them, not sher, but is that a song that they wrote? The place that I download songs on is good, but sometimes it gets things rong and stuff.

All that I mainly listen to is Christian music, other then that, I listen to songs that have to do with LOTR (like the Balid of Bilbo Baggens) and my LOTR CD. So ya, I do like christian music- alot.

[Snowdog]

77s
Resurrection Band
Grammatrain
The Prayer Chain
Sometime Sunday
Larry Norman
POD
Rachel Rachel
Bloodgood
Darrell Mansfield
Chasing Furies


Looking at the bands that seem to be on most everyone's list in this thread, it looks like a playlist for commercial christian radio. My list are ones that have been around awhile, some have long since disbanded. with the exception of Resurrection (REZ) Band, 77s, and of course Larry Norman.

There is a Christian music industry, whose goal is to make money, and so therefore will only carry and sell what will be acceptable to the 'contemporary christian market'. but then there has always been the question as to whether 'contemporary christian music' was for entertaining christians or witnissing to non-christians. Which is it? Opinions?

[crickhollow]

but then there has always been the question as to whether 'contemporary christian music' was for entertaining christians or witnissing to non-christians. Which is it? Opinions?
And then there is the question of whether all songs have to specifically refer to Christ or Christianity in order to be considered "Christian". After reading about what Michael Card had to say about the CCM Industry, I have all but given up on it as contrived, and superficial. Card went battled depression in college, and ended up writing a song about it. The producers wouldn't let him put it on his album unless he followed it up with something positive. So he ended up writing this song called, "With Hope" (or something to that effect), and he despises it, but it's on his album. A lot of people struggle with depression. I think they should have let him be real, and not water down a real issue.

[sun-star]

Until a few days ago I wouldn't have listened to Christian music if you paid me, but a friend made me a CD and now I'm converted (to the music, not Christianity - too late for that! :)) I'll check out some of the bands you've all mentioned.

[WallRocker]

Anyone like the Benjamin Gate? Saw them at Festival Con Dios and they RULE! Also, about Christian Music being 'real music', a lot of people have the wrong impression of 'Christian' music. There aren't a lot of Christian rock/hip-hop/rap/hits stations, so a lot of people think Christian music is Rachel Lampa, Steven Curtis Chapman and Micheal W. Smith. I like these artists, but that's not all there is. There are a very good amount of Christian Rock artists like Skillet, Pillar, Beleviable Picnic, The Benjamin Gate, etc. For rap you might try KJ-52, John Rueben or T-Bone. For those of you who say you don't like Christian music, try it before you diss it! There's a lot of good 'Christian' stuff out there:D

[samwiselvr2008]

I agree! Hey, I'm listening to some "Christain" music right now!:)

[Millane]

ok now ive heard it all... ummm it might just be that in aust christian music is regarded as crap by most people so they dont bother trying to flog it off down here but the trash that does slip by the filters is the most annoying sound ive ever heard, it is widely practiced where i live that once the add thats trying to sell you songs for worship comes on then you change the channel quicksticks... and might i add that while some of theses anti christian feelings comes from anti christian sentiment most comes from the plain shite quality of the music, need proof well Bob Marley is loved down here and most of his music was speakign about rastas and jah but again it isnt loved because it is Rastafarian music but because itis good music, thats the difference...
btw dont worry about me dissing the music coz my school, not only make us sit through assemblies about christianity, but had the nerve to play Christian music at the start... they tried that once and gave up heheheheh:D

[samwiselvr2008]

Low quality? Sher, the raidio station close to me that plays Christian music has some really anoying commersails, but other then that, in my opinion, the 'Christian' music is just as good in quality as the pop rock and oldies and country and classic and what-not.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Well, I don't listen to rock style, Christian or otherwise. Not that I think it's evil or anything, just not my style.

I like hymns, Gregorian Chants, and praise and worship.

[Millane]

has some really anoying commersails
maybe i dont like it because all i hear is those really annoying commercials... imagine if all you had was those really annoying commercials how would your opinion of christian music change

[hectorberlioz]

I like REAL christian music, as in Sacred music(such as masses). I find anythin else that is in the christian section either scary or cheesy(of courseno offense to anyone about this,just stating what i like and my opinion on nowaday christian music)

[jellyfishannah]

I like Rich Mullins. He is awesome.:)

I like hymns, Gregorian Chants, and praise and worship.

That too. :p

ditto on that!!!!

[Mercutio]

Relient K rocks!


(No pun intended)


(No cliche intended, either)


By the way; they are having a concert in Philly on Thursday!

[Millane]

whos Reliant K...
this may just be my opinion but i think that a lot of the music degrades Christianity i mean "jesus is my drinking buddy", thats pretty damn queer to me:eek:

[Mercutio]

The're a band made up of a few guys from Ohio--Their music isn't degrading at all (I agree with you that some "Christian" music definitely is, they make some pretty terrible comparisons). Some of Relient K's songs are just random stuff that doesn't make much sense.

Well, it's over a year since I said that, but I think I meant that it was too late for me to be converted to Christianity because I already was. It was a joke.

Though is a joke a joke if you have to explain it? :D

[Anadriewen]

I agree with u Mercutio, its never too late. Trust me, i've heard more than enough stories. But this thread is about music. Relient K is awasome. My friend went from hating them to them being her fav group!

[Silme*Christian]

I like the groups FFH, DC Talk, 38th Parellel, Creed, Lifehouse, etc.

Oh, a small joke for y'all: Jesus scares the hell out of people!
JESUS ROCKS THIS WORLD!

[Giroth]

I've listened to just about every christian band out there.:cool: I love rap,punk,pop,rock,ska,reggae,everything the industry offers!wOOt!I even talk to one of the real popular artists regularly.......:cool:

[Millane]

MANSON ROCKS THIS WORLD!
i was disgusted again when all the religious folk started abusing Manson fans outside of a concert:rolleyes: same old same old, about them and Manson himself worshipping satan, Manson responded accordingly with "Satan worships us mother****ers" i thought that was great... i wonder if i would be tolerated going to a christian 'music' concert and abusing all there fans, because they didnt believe as i did, id like to try that one day...

I think Christian music is of poor quality. I mean come on you don't exactly have to be a good songwriter to make Christian music. I mean Creed started off as a Christian band. That proves that you don't need any talent.

I don't know if any of you watch South Park, but there was a great one on a little while ago. It was about Christian music: very funny.

I heard about that south park.THough funny,it's wrong.:p

Christian music can be of very good quality. I DO admit that some is low quality,though. Some artists seem to just take advantage of the industry in order to get into the music biz.These I don't like.But bands like DCTalk are very good,even outside the Christian scene.And being a Christian artist,
you DO have to write good lyrics, in order for it to BE Christian music.This is because you must tell something you beleive with all your heart,in amanner that others understand.

You're right about that. It is queer. People really get carried away. It's disgusting. I hate to hear stupid, cheesy things like that. People don't realize that you should not take so much liberty with something so sacred. Too bad, though. Can't be helped....:(

It's never to late for Christianity! What, do you expect you'll always have the chance later? hmmm i sure hope not, music to me is about free thinking, creativity, ability and to a certain extent rebellion and escape, Christian music is just another way to try and preach to the world...
hahahaha i cant wait to hear some Christian "Rock":rolleyes: disgusting...

If music is a way to express yourself...thaen you have no right to insult Christian artists expressions of artistry and faith!

There was a funny episode of King of the Hill on the other day where Bobby get's involved with a Christian rock group, kind of. There's a good line Hank had when he was arguing with Bobby's mentor.

Hank: You're not making Christianity better, you're making rock and roll worse!

:p

Maybe i just dislike Christianity and maybe i think that the quality of the music is crap... ironic that i have no write to insult christian artists yet they have every right to insult Manson and his fans, i dont think i have started abusing Christian music fans yet have i?...

I meant, of course, people who claim to be christian and still do not seem to have any respect for their own beliefs and makes it all into some weird show. Quite disgusting, I agree with you. This is getting sorta off the topic...;)
