Christian Rock: A contradiction or...

EmperorMing · Post by **EmperorMing** » 2002-10-21 10:45pm

So what think you of this subject, hhmmm? Seems a little contradictory, given the nature of the music...

Having had this horrible interrogation tool inflicted on me, I can attest to its effectiveness. I will give anything, I mean anything, never to be exposed to this nerve-wracking phenomenon again.

Never has my ability to induce unconsiueness on command ever been more useful than listening to that shit

People can make music of any type, about any thing, the Chimpo Ondo is a perfect example, an old-style Japanese Ballad about penises(don't ask). Christian Rock certainly is possible. However, rock music started in the counter-culture movement, so pairing it up with Christianity does seem rather odd. However, it could simply be a sign that the old counterculture has now become mainstream.

Actually, it's part of the Christian "parallel universe" (to use a term that Newsweek Magazine used for the phenomenon). They have their own segregated versions of everything, from music to clothes, books, videos, and even their own Christian Wrestling Federation.

It's not benign, and it's not self-contradictory. It's all about segregation, folks. There is a subcurrent of Christianity that simply does not want to come into contact with the rest of us, and that's why they make their own segregated versions of everything.

Christian Wrestling Federation!?! You have to be kidding!

To Darth Wong: Question is, is that such a bad thing?

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » 2002-10-21 11:05pm

Yup, and then the Christian Rock artists start whining incessantly when public universities won't allow them to hold concerts on school property. Jack-offs.

Hey, Catholic Priests have their own wrestling league, too! (this is not a joke, BTW)

What I was asking was, "Is Christian segregation such a bad thing?" Yes, Christian "rock" is fucking horrid. I'd sooner eat... something bad, than listen to that crap.

If they really keep to themselves, no. However they vote, so yes it's a bad thing.

Raoul Duke, Jr. wrote:What I was asking was, "Is Christian segregation such a bad thing?"

Yes. All forms of segregation are bad. No one will ever learn to get along with others if they put up walls like that and never get to know people of other creeds on a personal level.

Raoul Duke, Jr. · Post by **Raoul Duke, Jr.** » 2002-10-21 11:13pm

Yeah, but their vote is simply where the segregation ends. I say segregate all the way. Give them "Holy Ballots" or something, instead of the real thing. lol

On a serious note... wow. Frankly, DW, I never expected to hear you say something like that. It seems so... un-Sithlike.

Back on topic;

I find crhistian rock to be a waste of my time. It's trying to be hard rock with christian lyrics. Not.

I have heard music that can be considered "christian" with a rock sound and not *try* to be rock that is actually quite good.

It's the poser wanna-be christian rock that I find annoying.

Erm... yeah. Segregation, by its very nature, creates inequity among portions of the population that are equally, or nearly equally skilled. It is a bad thing.

I'd rather eat white arsenic than be forced to listen to christian rock. Rather problematic. A girl I'm interested really likes the stuff.

Admitidly i have only ever heard 2 christianrock bands but the 2 i heard were pretty good, Creed and P.O.D, good rock and actual meaningful lyrics. No the "fuck my dad he was a cunt" crap Papa Roach sings.
