quote P71panther

all of you people who are completely bashing religion and their way of expressing themselves creatively should mind your own damn business. if you don't like how "preachy" their music is... DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!! & like sphinx said it's a complete double standard.

this is coming from an atheist. & it's closed minded people like some of you who give atheists like myself a bad name. just because i don't have the same beliefs as christians or any other religions doesn't mean i have to be critical of them, nor do i want to be. hell, my girlfriend is roman catholic & attends church every sunday.

How do you mind your own business on a public forum? If I want to flame Christianity, then why do you care? Don't read it and mind your own business. It's a double standard, after all.

BTW, don't suggest that I'm an atheist.

And to be honest you're just completely stereotyping a whole genre of music and a whole religion. Whether my experience of christianity and christian music is just starkly different to yours I don't know, but none of the christians I know don't actually "try to convert people at every chance they get, and talk about how much they love god" constantly as you seem to imply. And neither does the majority of christian music. Sure thematically it talks about God, buts its not saying overtly "BANDITO ATTACK BECOME A CHRISTIAN" over and over so don't exaggerate and make out like all Christians are Bible bashing evangelical maniacs because its just not true.

Fine. Show me a band/rapper that doesn't have lyrics about god/[diety], and I'll show you a band/rapper who's music isn't dedicated to a religion.

I would have to be an atheist to be 'giving them a bad name', wouldn't I? Yes. I would.

Well, gee Batman. You *bleep*ing think? I'm the one you were trying to argue with.

I hate all forms of evangelist music, for two reasons:

1. It's shit. I've never heard one evangelist or openly Christian band which uses praise for God and the like for lyrical content that I liked. It has nothing to do with them being just Christian either, it just sucked. If you think I'm biased, I'm up for recommendations. kthx.

2. Music used to convert people really pisses me the *bleep* off. Especially when they believe music is a gift from God that is supposed to be used to convert people to "the truth", or whatever.

I don't care what you believe in. But as soon as your beliefs begin to interfere with my life or interrupt my personal freedom, you can *bleep* right off. For all I care you can all go lock yourself in your church waiting for the rapture while blasting MercyMe, but don't shove that shit down my throat.

But anyway, Satan is my saviour.

Eclipse, listen to "King of Kings" by Royce Da 59. Best Christian rap song I've ever heard.

DAMN IT DON'T IGNORE ME YOU WHORES!!!!!

Being Christian is being irrational.

ZING.

Either keep this about Christian rap specifically, or take this to the Christian Bands thread. If you want to talk about the validity of the Christian faith, go find some thread in IE to do so in.
