Christian Rock: A contradiction or...

Well... it all comes down to taste. I listen to some Christian music, and some of it I can't understand. I used to be a serious metal head though. Being a part-time DJ at the university (at the time really a glorified stereo system) exposes you to a whole bunch of styles. Just don't play jazz near me.

Like everything else, Christian Rock is a way to convert(i.e. subvert) people into Christianity. Then they will be mindlessly brainwashed.

Both of them suck. They're repetetive, unimaginative, and not very talented.

Actually, I've heard one good Christian Rock record....

"Slow Train Coming" by Bob Dylan.

BTW, a Danish band known as Alexanderband have made a brilliant satire of Christian Rock, a song called Super-Jehovah... it is in Danish, but I can post the lyrics translated into English here:
(they're funnier in the original Danish)

Jehovah
Jehovah
Now you're gonna hear 'bout Jehovah

Jehovah can swim all the way down to Madagascar
Jehovah can build animals of Lego and pumpkins
Jehovah can enter the discoteque free
Jehovah writes funny books you can read

Jehovah, he is a super guy
A super, duper, super guy...

Jehovah
Jehovah
Here is some more about Jehovah

To Africa and Asia, he sells weapons
Every second Saturday his store is open long into the evening
He especially loves caramels and Milka
He often ogles the candy down at the mall

Jehovah, he is a super guy
A super, duper, a super super, guy...

Jehovah
Jehovah
Now we're gonna end this song about Jehovah

It was him who invented paradentose
It was him who made the system in your bag
He knows all seasons of Survivor
And often sits at evening with deep intentions

Jehovah, he is a super guy
A super, duper, a super super, guy...

i wouldnt say THE christians create THEIR own music. it´s just a couple of people who form a rock band and habe christian lyrics.
i dont support these lyrics, just like i dont support rage against the machine´s commie lyrics or a lot of political punk lyrics. but as long as they´re not promoting senseless hate against other people ( i can take hate against stuff like political systems) i have nothing against the band itself. if total chaos sings their pledge of defiance, well dont like dont listen to it. on the other hand if screwdriver sings white power i´d like to fill the mosh pit and the stage with napalm.

Christian Wrestling Federation? I hope you have a link, cause this is something I've got to see!

After seeing those pictures I think batter names would be The Fierce Felllatio and Slamming Sodomy Man.

Some Christian Rock groups are good, but I don't really care about the others. Anyway, what do they do in the CWF? Why do they even have a CWF?

HHH should unify that belt into his HHH title as well.

What, is DarkStar running this league? And I guess that Vince has applied DarkStar's cannon laws to it, and has ignored it, because it doesn't really exist.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton vs Jerry Falwell and Billy Gramham. Loser dies, winner is merely shot into space in the general direction of Mars.

My first post... I feel there should be something ceremonial about it. But there's not.

I think that Christian rock is just like any other type of music. There are good bands, and there are bad ones. But there are also some things that should not be. Like Christian death metal. Bands like Tourniquet, or however their name is spelled, are fundamentally wrong.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2002-10-24 05:35pm

Like Christian death metal.

You know what's funny? I didn't even connect Creed or P.O.D. with being Christian. Shit, I've heard them on the radio and they sounded like your average talentless pothead rockers. Eh, go figure.

I don't listen to the stuff (more into classical music and jazz), but I find nothing inherently wrong with it.

Eh, any popular music after the death of Southern Rock. No, seriously American Rock Pothead Band = Crackers, basically anything thats a drug addict could be classified a "cracker"

Ohhh. "Cracker" as in "crackhead". Okay, then. I was really hoping you weren't using it as in "honkies".
