His fans who are themselves fanatics.

Well his "fan" had a differing opinion. That can't be tolerated.

Yeah but Catholic isn't Christian, durr!

Christian music outside of Catholicism used to be great. Old time gospel and spirituals laid down the foundation for country music and the blues. Country and the blues would later evolve into the devil's music, Rock and Roll. In rebellion against Rock the modern Christian recording industry is born.

thinking of all christians as some sort of subhumans with half the emotions of a regular person and no ability to appreciate good music is a pretty weird thing to do, harriet

Harriet didn't say all Christians, but conservative Christians.

Of course that's still an overstatement, but when you see people like this, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Kirk Cameron, Pat Robertson, Rick Perry and Donald Trump getting adored by more than 1/3 of Americans, it's okay to start wondering if there's a pod person invasion going on.

I agree with CJH, except for his use of 'weird' instead of something more judgmental. There's no need to be wishy-washy.

Catholics are xtian.
Just a super-culty version.

I agree, CJH, you have to possess some semblance of human to be subhuman, Christians lack all humanity. I also agree that I am part of the problem, I don't do enough to aid in the eradication of that vile religion.

Conservative Christianity, as it is practiced today, devotes a lot of energy to reinforcing group affiliation. When it's done through music, the result is sometimes shitty music, because musical quality isn't the main goal behind it.

It's a shame that the Bibleman "God Forgives and God Forgets" video is currently down, because I wanted to point out the audience doing their best to enjoy these kids singing about Jesus. If you can't make yourself enjoy a song about Jesus, what kind of Christian ARE you?

Here's the other side of it:

Christians produce something genuinely funny but a little blasphemous, and they can't acknowledge that they were motivated by a good funny idea. So they have to claim it's all for educational purposes.

Not to be a music snot but it was mostly Ragtime in the late 1800's that was played almost exclusively in bars and whorehouses that influenced almost all jazz and later gospel and soul. It was the American answer to the ending of the Romantic period of say Brahms and Liszt, and the rising surge of African and Caribbean beats. This is where most modern liturgical music comes from, hence how funny Tom Lehrer's The Vatican Rag really is.

It's in Durham, NC. Funny that his website features quotes from such Christian luminaries as convicted rapist Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali.

That's what's great about music. Be a donkey raping shit eater who wants to commit mass murder, fine, he wont lose any love. Challenge someone's taste in music and the fans will abandon him like he was a donkey raping shit eater wanting to commit mass murder.
