(May 21 07, 12:45)as long as this thread has been temporarily hijacked, i'll say my piece on this bs.
who are you to tell me or people who believe like me to stay out of politics? you want things your way, you can go vote, back your politicians, volunteer, whatever. that's your right. if i want laws and government to reflect my ideals and beliefs, i will do the same. that's my right.
don't tell me to keep my mouth shut unless you're going to shut yours too.

political views should be based on reality, not a possibly fictional book. just my 2 cents.

I thought theur was some law written about seperation of church and state. I could be wrong though.

So as a Christian, I'm not allowed to enjoy rock music or play it (if I was so musically inclined?).
There is nothing about a style of music that defines it as being un-Christian.
In fact music isn't an entity. It doesn't have a soul. It can't really be "Christian." The whole "Christian Music" concept comes across a little strange to me at times as well.
But, I don't see a reason why Christians should be able to write or enjoy music/art whatever that they like and have a passion for.

I have to say the 'Christian Hardcore' bands that sounds like the devil when they sign are pretty odd.

(May 21 07, 12:57)i'm with you there, but i think what Morilla was referring to was what could be seen as the lifestyle of Rock n' Roll — ie: sex, drugs. I don't think that's hard to see. Christians are viewed and expected to live lives worthy of the title of Christ. And for those who don't have an inside view in to the scene or its content — only its title — then his point makes sense. It's the job of the Christian to redefine rock and roll and live up to the art form they inhabit, creating work that's good and isn't seen as a knock-off.

Christian music has been around longer than most or all of us have been alive.
within Christian music scene there are musicians that happen to be Christians who enjoy making music that isn't necessarily overtly christian and then there are musicians that play overtly Christian music.
and what happens when a secular band or artist becomes a christian? are they no longer allowed to use their gift of music?
