I'm so weird...

[child of wonder]

I must be the only atheist in the world that enjoys listening to Christian rock like Pillar, Fireflight, Skillet, Paramore, etc.

Although being an atheist doesn't mean I can't appreciate the work of Michaelangelo or the exquisite architexture of an old cathedral.

Being "inspired by god" to write good music probably isn't all that different from an artist who takes drugs to write better songs either.

Discuss.

why is that weird? I can appreciate art from any source without having to first decide whether or not my views coincide with the artist's.

All the christian music I've heard has been terrible. Even if they weren't pushing a message in their songs, they'd still be terrible.

I like paramore, and consider myself not religious, who cares, LOL.

Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll.

Their is no room for god in that equation.

Christian rock is just derivative garbage. Some of it sounds ok, but there's no individuality, or innovation. If you like Pearl Jam, you'll LOVE Jesus Jam, now with 70% more Jesus!

Except for the religious view that god created all of it.

Paramore is christian rock?

I like Bob Marley. I must be rastafarian.

Their god can take credit for all the bullshit "god rock". We have our dark lord Satan to thank for the good stuff.

This, it's the same tired alternative/buzz/pop rock sound, just repackaged with christian lyrics.

Jars Of Clay had a good song. I don't remember the name of it.

Paramore is Christian rock? I thought I saw the lead singers boobies on egotastic or one of those sights. So I saw Christian boobs?

One of my favorite speed metal bands of the 80s was a Christian band called Deliverance.
