I wonder what I meant by it.

To Woggy, I can't marry you, but I will consider you an honorary little sister. You're very cool. __________________ 05-22-2003 11:36 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny I think sometimes the reason Christian Rock seems stupid is because Christianity is so simple. Preach the gospel at a university to a group of unbelievers, then preach the same gospel message to a group of mildly retarded unbelievers at a soup kitchen. Who do you think is more likely to accept the Lord? My experience is the latter group will be more receptive. People are more likely to get saved before they turn 12 than they are to get saved as an adult. Why? The gospel message is incredibly simple, yet incredibly profound. To reflect that message, much of Christian music is simple, too. Sometimes this board seems like a bunch of intellectual elitists to me, then I realize how well I fit in with this group. I like to be intellectually challenged in my music and in my faith. But my hope is based on a very simple premise- I couldn't pay a debt so I had to have it paid for me. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 05-22-2003 17:13 Joey T.

TST good, Jim Nieghbors bad 05-23-2003 07:25 Aloha's Bus Driver unregistered Alright, I'm going out on a limb here, but... the Tuxedo Clad Megastar is great for kids, don't you think? I mean, he keeps things simple and dumbed down enough for anybody under 10 to understand. Don't get me wrong, I started a "the Tuxedo Clad Megastar Hate Club" when I was in High School, so I'm not a fan of his, but I wouldn't mind so much if my son got into him when he's in elementary school. Just a thought. I don't dig a lot of CCM because of the lack of talent involved. Now, I don't listen to much secular stuff either, but I'd rather listen to a DA or 77's disc instead of something by Avalon or Plus One. CCM tries to hard to mimic what's popular instead of being innovators on the music front. Can you imagine if somebody did things right, marketed DA to a mass audience in the mid-eighties without interfering in TST's creative process? I could totally see DA getting secular airplay and a lot of respect for doing what they do. But instead they all have to work day jobs and don't get nearly enough time and money to continue doing what they love. Sure, some Christian bands have gotten through that barrier - Sixpence (don't laugh - there's more to them than "Kiss Me") POD, Evanescense (although the attitude they displayed in an EW interview was pretty fringey) Chevelle and 12 Stones have done well. Christian Rock isn't exactly stupid - it's the guys running Christian Rock *cough* Rick Cua *cough* that are screwing things up though. 05-23-2003 09:47 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. quote: Originally posted by joey treven.... he's been back for like 2 months... come on doc.... you don't really read this board do you? you just post! oh Treven!

Can a business be Christian? I guess then, the big question would be: Is that where Jesus is? (e.g. the LD song) Is Jesus working for or running a record company? I mean, he isn't on the golf course engaging in big oil deals, right? Or not right?
