Christian music is SATANIC!! and Free Limes!

what?!?!?!

do people even hear themselves THINK when they say that? there is so much poof that these people who think Christian bands are going to hell cant argue with. Hopefully Jon can help me find scripture, haha.

FACT ONE:
if someone is worshiping God, who are you to tell them they are doing it wrong? I love to praise God with Relient K and Family Force 5, the only rules to worshiping is to make sure its not for selfish reasons and you are sacrificing something to God, and in Time, embarassment of your voice, etc.

these men Sacrifice family and friend time to go on tour to praise God, and all you can do is write an email saying they are going to hell? shame, just shame. The sing songs that say " I give my all to you", thats no selfish, huns.

FACT TWO:
who are you to Judge in the first place?
" Why stare at the spec in your nieghbors yea when you have a PLANK in your own?"

who made you God? you have no right to judge! ever!

FACT THREE:

just remember as you kiss your children to bed, their are men that would do anything to just hear their childs voice as they are on tour. they sacrifice more than you.


here is a song from Family Force 5 that has to do with these people who believe christian rockers are going to hell:

"I got Oppositions every single day
you always want the same thing on the same old way
funny how you think your always right.
who Died and made you God and did it happen over night?

'dont dance like that, anymore
don't where those clothes anymore
dont take that stance anymore
turn it down; do what your told'
WELL IF ITS TOO LOUD
THEN YOU MUST BE TOO OLD

Wake up the dead now,
make them roll in their graves now,
shaky shake up the dead now
risin' up fro the ground
wake em up, Shake em down

you like to watch my life touch up on the screens
youve figured out what goes on behind the scenes
got a rumor that you want to show and tell,
no bodys gonna buy the lie youre trying to sell


'dont talk like that anymore
dont speak your mind anymore
dont think those thoughts anymore,
turn it down, do what your told'
WELL IF ITS TOO LOUD
THEN YOU MUST BE TOO OLD

CHORUS

wake up you sleepy head get out of bed
if we make some noise we'll wake the dead
make them roll in their graves when they hear this sound
raise em up from the ground
turn em up side down


"


CHORUS"
'
this song amazes me. let me clarify it for you.being young, alot of christian adults arent used to it, so they think it is bad. they are "dead" to any new thing that comes along that isnt like what they are used to, e.i. christian rock. they think the only way is their way. they try to change us, but their way doesnt appeal to young people who need Jesus, music is big in kids life, and rock appeals to them, I konw someone who was saved listening to FF5, that is amazing. I think I might know THREE, actually...
but when they say "wake up the dead" it means to get them to realize this wonderful movement rock is doing for christians. and that these people are liying, no facts, and hurting people in the process.


I think people take the bible TOO literally.

did you know, there is a song by showbread, that a fan made a video for it? this video had alot of controversy. the video were clips of scary movies, nothing wrong, right? well, showbread liked it, and they put it up on their myspace. some christians thought it was an official music video and they got made, because they are a chhristain band "promoting murder" which isnt true. they think showbread is promoting it, whis makes them think they are going to hell. wow. way to judge. God never says "thou shall not watch scary movies" it says " do not kill", there IS adifference.

another thing is, people hate when christian bands dont say the word GOD or JESUS in their songa. like FF5 for example. people think they worship themselves because they dont add Gods name in their songs.

here is an (in)direct quote from their guitarist, Derek "Chap Stique" Mount:

" God spoke through enigmatic parables to make you think, we think that this should be expressed in our music, to get kids to think"

I think that is soo smart of them. I love hearing snippets of their song that Ive heard 49857430857 times before, and being like "OH! so THATS what they mean!"

also, people get mad at House of Heroesa and FF5 because they dont label their music as "christian rock", they say "a rock band of christians", why? well, because of this quote:

Christian is a beautiful noun, it is when it is an adjective that ruins the meaning."

meaning anything these days labeled christian has a bad connatation to it, and so bands like HoH do it because they dont want to lessen the name of christianity.







I wanted to share to you a cute story from a friend of mine:

"A lime truck near my house crashed and limes went every where, so the neighborhood, including my parents, decided they needed several bags of limes.





I am still not sure what a family can do with several bags of limes, in fact I cannot think of a fruit with less uses than a lime.





When life gives you limes...





...learn to juggle, cause there is not much else you can do.





your friend,





-Isaac"
