Christians Against Christian Rock

August 17th, 2016

This is really a thing. I’ve heard of Christians against Rock before but never Christians against Christian Rock. I suppose it’s believable though. Some Christians are against everything except walking, talking, and sleeping. Still there are those who take a vow of silence. So much for talking. This is Jeff Godwin and he is against Christian Rock music.

Some of his arguments are a thin veil for personal failings somewhere in his life. This is Pastor Bob Daily and he’s a Christian Metalist.

I’m sure Christian Rock and Rap have come a long way since X-sinner and DC talk. It seemed a little frail to me even back then. It was like the bands where apologizing for being Christian in their tone. It lacked conviction like (ironically) a kid saying “shit” for the first time or those first awkward puffs from a cigarette; inhale or not.

As for me Rock and Roll is king. A lower King than Jesus or God or the Universe but king. Give me some Cream, Jethro Tull, ELO, or Pink Floyd. Metal for me in small doses is the perfect way to defuse those destructive emotions. Nothing wrong with smashing an air guitar. Hell there’s nothing wrong with smashing a real guitar. Jesus never said “Thou shall not express destructive energy”. As long as your not out there unjustly beating somebody’s ass, have at.

If there could be such a thing as a secular Christian it would be me. I mean right on the fringe of all religions and beliefs. Most Christians wouldn’t even call me a Christian because I don’t believe the murder of Jesus saves us all. Yes, I think it’s murder. it’s like mass murder in reverse and it’s disgusting. I believe because Jesus was alive and came here to Earth and taught us all, we’re saved; unless of course you don’t want to be.

Back to Christian Rock. I think it’s fine for a person to stretch the artistic value of their beliefs to the outer limits (there aren’t any) of the Universe. Why wouldn’t a person try reach as many people as possible unless you have some kind of antisocial belief. Being against Christian Rock is like say you shouldn’t paint a cross in pointillism or in an abstract work. Although I don’t really listen to it I say Rock On! Christian rockers. Until next time, keep your homes well.
