Well, here we are at week 2. I'd like to restate my little disclaimer.
This is my site, I don't care if you like it, I hope it makes you think...

What's this week's topic you ask?

What is it with christians and secular music?

It's probably one of the most senseless things I've ever experienced. People are always complaining to me about secular music. How The devil speaks to you through it or It makes me feel bad about myself .

If you have these problems, I don't think it's because the songs you listen to aren't "Godly enough" or whatever, I think it's just a negative personality listening to the wrong type of music.
Music is about your own personal taste. If there's one thing I hate, it's looking through a friend's CD album and finding all the same CD's that everyone else has. How can you express yourself through the music that you're listening to if you're trapped under the influence of christian music. Well, trapped is far too strong a word, but at least it gets my point across.

This is what we're facing.

If you like rock, you probably have at least one of these CD's
-Thousand Foot Krutch
-Disciple
-Skillet

If you like Worship:
-Hillsong United
-Michael W Smith
-Chris Tomlin

Alternative:
-Kutless
-Audio Adrenaline
-Newsboys

Rap/Hip-Hop:
-Grits-
KJ-52

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that these bands/performers aren't good at what they do, but how much variety can you really have? You have the above bands (and a bunch of nearly identical others) or you can listen to your hair grow. Nothing in between.

There is so much more you can experience if you just don't let bad music get to you and ruin it all.

Morale: If you don't like secular music. That's fine, but don't give some garbage excuse about it. Maybe learn to experience a little more variety in life?
