ROFLMAO!!
And this convinced me that they have not done the research they claim. I've heard P.O.D. say they want to help "spread the word about a God who loves us all" (or something to that effect).
WTF? You'd have to be a complete and utter moron to go to one of Smith's concerts and not know he's a Christian.

The site continues to ramble and pull stuff out of their *** about various artists, and how they "don't live up to God's standard." Hello!? Nobody does! Who do these people think they are?!

Their FAQ section is even more unbelievable, as they try (rather pathetically) to use scripture to back up their slander, and how judging is acceptable according to the Bible.


They claim to want to help them and BS, but throughout their massive load of crap, they use wonderful Christian like this:
I swear I'd be bashing their heads together if I'd met anyone who had anything to do with supporting this website.

And they keep using the word "ecumenist" like it's a bad thing.

Morons.

I was up late one night watching the home shopping network with a friend, and as we were chatting about the innovative cookware device we had just seen, an ad came on for a Christian boy band. Now, at first, me and my friend had thought it was a joke. Then I realized the home shopping network time had actually finished, and the religious programs had started.
The guys were talking about how "cool" it was to be Christian, and then they started saying that "..being Christian doesn't mean you can't go to movies or hang out at the mall. We love going down the mall with our peeps and just chillin'. People think that because you're Christian, they can't talk to you. That just ain't now it is." And then one of the other guys said that even though they were offically known as a Christian band, he said that their music was no different to anything else in the industry. Then they played some clips of them singing their songs. And to be honest, from the very few times I've actually been to a Chruch service, I've heard the words "Jesus", "Praise", and "Lord" less there than in each of the songs they played on the TV. Seriously, Benny Hinn says "Praise the Lord!" less than those guys did.

I don't know how this rant relates to your post, but I honestly found it very difficult to take anything they said seriously.. It'd be like Justin Timberlake trying to sing a Christmas song in a "cool" way... that kind of thing just doesn't work.

Generally the people who are slandering Christian music are the ones who think that the KJV is the One True Translation, the pope and the ecumenical movement are the antichrist, and that Christian rock is evil. And generally they always have to support their claims with guilt-by-association; Christian artist X collaborated with producer Y who had also worked on the horrible, blasphemous video for group Z.

And, in typical nutcase fashion, they usually do it in that scary authoritative tone that says God's on their side, they're right, and they don't need proof.

Ugh.

On the other hand, I found this site a few years ago which represents the other side pretty well.

And the old, blue-haired ladies rock back and forth...

Seriously. The people at that site don't know jack about what their talking about. And as to the "Christian Boyband" remark. Ah yes, I will agree that often, you want to listen to some entertaining music. That's where great groups like Switchfoot, Reliant K, and POD are awsome. But cummon. You can't criticise those "boybands" for praising their Lord enthusiastically... Hmmm...

The Bible says that if you proclaim with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord you will be saved... I'll get the verse to you guys in a bit if this thread is responded to again...

Generally when i encounter things like that.. i automatically think that they are rampant satire, because the alternative would require hadokening too many innocent bystanders.

This site totally cracks me up every time i read a review. It's hilarious, like ultra-fundamental movie reviews.

I think my absolute favourite on there was something from Pirates of the Caribbean:
"excessive breast exposure, repeatedly", Flirb and i were on about that for quite some time.

I can't seem to find anything that indicates satire. I looked, but there's nothing, not even on their FAQ page. Besides, it's quite an extreme to go to just to be constructively sarcastic.

That could be said for most, if not all of the translations. Putting one's faith in a translation is as illogical as putting one's faith in a denomination. Even if you were skilled enough to translate the bible on your own, would you really trust your own translation? I find the whole translation debate as humorous as the whole debate between the different "Christian" denominations where they all seem to think that they're the right one.

I may not be the most enlightened individual, but this is how I perceive things...

Very true, but few people realize how incredibly poorly the KJV was translated. For example, references to witchcraft in the KJV simply did not exist in the original text. In the OT, the word meant "one who causes misfortune with spoken curses," and in the NT it mean "one who murders with poisons." There's tons of errors like that in KJV. It was translated a long time ago, and we now have more knowledge of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramic than they did when KJV was translated.

Sadly, I'm going to bet there are some among the KJV-only crowd who don't realize that the KJV is a translation.

Okay, am I wrong in coming to the conclusion that the people who made that site are doing exactly what Jesus DIDN'T want?

I like their description of Hugo Weaving in The Matrix.

"The actor playing the bad guy was exceptional at expressing cold hatred and orgasmic lust for killing, probably as good or better than Leonardo DiCaprio at expressing steely coldness about murder."

Orgasmic lust? o.O

Ya... the reason the Bible says stuff about tatoos is because when it was written, tatoos had very religious connotations. Today it's all about what looks cool, or if you're a hick, how many you have.

Can you say "Freudian defense mechanism"?

Ever read Lord of the Flies?

Here are a couple of quotes from it describing the hunting/killing of a pig:

"Wedded to her in lust."

And upon finally killing it, "Release was like an orgasm."

GhostOfYoda - General doer of stuff.

Well, that's not all it says. For example, John 3:3-6 says: "Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again....Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.'" Mark 16:16 says, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

Confession is part of salvation, but that's not all there is to it.

What thay dont realise is that the style of music isant the problem, and picking at imperfect people trying to reach youngpeople for Jesus is rong in it self. Everyone stumbles, many of these bands christian bands even have songs telling fans to 'watch them(there lives)', and asking questions 'what if i stumble, what if i loose my step and make a fool of us all'
