If the Xtians god is THE god, why is Xtian music so...god awful?

If you were the all powerful god of the universe, would you allow your devout followers to create such terribly unimaginative music?  I mean really, come on god, Creed, REALLY? Xtian hardcore, you have to be joking!

Sorry for the rant, my ipod died and so I had to channel surf the central Kentucky radio stations.

What would your followers' music sound like if you were god?

Christian Rock is not influenced by Satan, which means it is, ipso facto, bad.

My followers would do 80s style music with civil war era fashion. :3

I think my followers would choose very loud music, heavy on the percussion combined with lots of wind and brass instruments probably some strident electronic sounds as well. Hopefully this would help cover the screams as I administer eternal torture to the miserable custards for being so stupid to worship me in the first place.

Seven Angels is a Christian power metal band that I don't think are too bad. I've heard of maybe three of four other Christian bands (Antestor being the first to come to mind) that are supposed to be good. But for the most part, I'll agree with you.

I suppose my followers would probably make things worse than Christian rock either because I imagine them either being sadists.

Satan just has better taste in music.

So true. Watch the devil doing his handiwork.

Classic Rock, mostly. Some hardcore metal and rave thrown in, as well. Okay, so, in truth, it'd be 49% Classic Rock, 49% Rave and 49% Hardcore metal. We won't read into those numbers, but there they are.

...wouldn´t say so, ever heard a mess written by Händel, or the Mozart Requiem or else ?

Monteverdi's Vespers, Bach's Passions, Gregorian chant, Hildegard von Bingen's works, Handel's Messiah.

To be specific, it is contemporary xtian music that irks me so, not classical or early chants, or really even gospel. But xtian rock & pop makes my ears want to bleed!

Probably because it is half-assed. Almost any kind of "cross-over" art is half-assed and it shows. True fusion musics are truly "double-assed" when successful.

I remember hearing some music awhile back and starting to like the sound of it...but THEN....the realization that it was CHRISTIAN ROCK....nooooooo. It is amusing that Christians need converts so badly that they'll trick them into their flocks with "cool" music for the kids. And their parents can't really protest, can they? It's rock in the name of Jesus! It's all about staying culturally "relevant" and communicating at the youth level...groan. Keeping the membership levels growing.

I don't think gods need music because they don't have human emotions...they like human sacrifices, I think, but they don't appreciate music. Well, maybe the harp. I think gods like the harp. Isn't that the instrument most associated with heaven & angels....NOT electric guitars....NOT screeching vocals.

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
