Ach, very true, unfortunately. Too many Christians (youth and adult) take these artists at their word with that sort of thing - not because they believe its true, but because they want to fulfill their fleshly desires. Nice comic strip - never saw any of these.

The sad thing is...I've had someone tell me that. "The lyrics are kinda bad, but hey...the group thanks God in the "thanks to..." section!"

I'm sitting there thinking "What does singing about non-God glorifying stuff have to do with that? Why would it make it fine to listen to?"

I focus on the lyrics of a song, but stay away from that hard-rock, punkish sound, because it just doesn't bring out the good in you. It makes you want to write or sing bad lyrics, not God-honoring lyrics.

it just doesn't bring out the good in you.

I think that does depend on the person. For some it can bring out passion and that "on-fire" zeal for God...the only reason I avoid that sort of music is because I can't hear a word they scream...I mean, sing. ;)

Too fun! A winning addition to an already winsome and practical site. Kudos to you, gentlmen.

I think blogs are the unseen levers of power, and you can nominate yourselves to influence by doing a good job. Well done! Mother-Lode now links to you!
