    It always amuses me how uninspired most contemporary Christian music is. This is just as boring.

      This reminds me of many moons ago, when I was a young man still in the chase. There was this girl I was really interested and one day we kind of clicked. She invited me to a concert of some small band I didn’t know about, but I said “yeah, sure I will go with you!” (The mission always comes first!)

      We get there and it’s this small to medium sized stadium full of young people. She was sitting next to me and things were going generally well.

      Lights turn off, the band enters the stage and starts playing some rock with metal overtones. I start to think “This can’t be so bad…”

      Well, famous last words. A few minutes after the band starts playing, the song takes a turn for the worse. The guitar mellows out, the band stops and the singer asks everybody in the fucking stadium to hold hands, close their eyes and pray with him… The lyrics changed to Jesus this, Jesus that and never came out of the rut. It was two hours of that.

      Lord Almighty… If you indeed existed you would not have allowed something like that to happen…

      99% of the music is stolen from secular sources and rehashed.

      Like what they did in Sister Act. Except with boring old music.
