I love Christian Music does anyone like it too? What do you think about Contemporary Christian Music?


By Gretchen on Wednesday, December 17, 1997 - 10:23 pm:

I don't like it at all, but perhaps it's because I'm not Christian and don't like alternative. But I don't have any problem with it as long as I don't have to listen to it.

I love Christian Alternative music...there are lots of bands out there to choose from with lots of talent and good messages...even to people who aren't Christans. If you like Ska type music, The Superones are great...if you are more the metal type, Circle of dust it awsome. There are also some really cool girl bands like Morella's Forest. It is also really nice to know when you buy a cd that you are supporting a lifestyle that you believe in, one that isn't superficial but based on the love of humanity and people and most importantly...Jesus Christ.

I have to say, alternative Christian music is great! I am not a practicing Christian, but I do enjoy music from the likes of the Newsboys, Third Day, Plumb, and Jars of Clay. I saw a concert by Jars of Clay/Plumb (front row!!) and it left me with a lasting impression--their music meant something--in January I saw the Backstreet Boys, and didn't enjoy that concert nearly as much. I like groups that put feeling into their song, and a lot of Christian groups put plenty of feeling into their songs, without being pushy.

alternative christian music is super lame! who wants to hear songs about god and the bible...that's what church is for, ya freaks!

Bee obviously does not realize that if you are a church going christian, contemporary christian music is wonderful. With it you are able to support bands who's life message and music you support rather than bands that promote a lifestyle you do not agree with. Not all contemporary chritian songs are about the Bible and God...but even then...whats would be wrong with that? I also do not appreciate being calld a freak in a magazine that is supposed to support the differences in individual humans. I think that Bee needs a lesson in the respect of others and self. Feminism respects differences.

Yah, your friendly Admin here. There's nothing wrong with opposing viewpoints on this board, in fact, they're a lot of what make for a lively discussion and atmosphere-- but it's not so cool to make personal jabs at a whole group of people just because they hold a different viewpoint.

In other words, if you think the *music* sucks,that's fine and you should feel free to say so, but it'd be appreciated if you kept the attack on the music itself and not the people who enjoy it.

Thanks.

I'm a freak?

Well thank you.

It seems that there ARE other people who share my school's opinion.

I must admit that I do not like this kind of music. I'm not a christan and I think it is almost an insult to Alternative music.

Lya, Christian Music is great, you're not a freak. They have no right to tell you that. They should just keep their mean remarks to themselves. I'm with you I like Christian Music!!! ~P.K.~.

P.S. Visit the "WAZ UP? (or down)" discussion form. You can speak out about your day there. Bye, hope to talk to you there.

Hi everyone!
I wemt to a Jars of Clay/ Plumb concert last Saturday. I guess it hit where i live a lot later than you Lya. Plumb was great on stage, but Jars of Clay just isn't the kind of band that is great for concert...don't get me wrong, i love there music...
I also had some friends who went to see Supertones last month and they said it was awesome! There were two locally, one was in a churcha nd the other was in a civic center, the people that went to the one at the civic center had a better time because they could jump around...

No offense here guys, but i used to be Christian, and I used to listen to the music and all that stuff, and now when I look on it, it seems like total brainwashing to me. This is just my point of view, though. I'm sure you don't agree with me, but, hey, that's the way it is.

Okay, I'm not big with Christian Music, but I do love one song that I heard was by a Christian band. I don't know what it's called, so I need a little help here. It goes something like, "Rain, rain on my face... But if I can't swim after 40 days, .... Lift me up." Sorry!! I only know parts of it because the guys acapella singing group at our school sang it. does anyone know who it's by and what it's called?
thanks, alexis
p.s. lya-- don't let people tell you you're a freak, (although i do admire how good-naturedly you took that attack) because nobody's a freak for tending to their faith. it's what the world has been based around for a couple thousand years, right? keep smilin' sister.
