Well sometimes they do...and this is coming from a guy who plays an instrument.

Anyways I forgot to mention the ones that absolutely annoy me more than any other people in the whole wide world.

Christian's fans who won't listen to anything outside of the spectrum of Christian music because they are too busy listening to that Christian punk with fake ass lyrics and stuff. I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the Christian communities music and their messages. For one, the majority of them suck. I can count on one hand how many Christian bands I like. The second thing that I dislike is that they take pretty much the exact same music from a secular band, slap on some Christian-"sounding" (keyword: sounding) lyrics and then claim that the song is now holy. Seriously, it pisses me off more then anything in the world. Why can't they be like Thrice and right lyrics true to their hearts. Instead, they right lyrics inspired by fake happiness, which comes from the Christian thought that once you are saved you should only tell people about God and feel happy all the time. It is just too fake for me to handle at all. They really give Christianity a bad rep among people who actually are somewhat smart. They see Christianity as a way of getting a free ticket out of Hell, when it isn't. It is a ****ing lifestyle where you show God through love because "God is love," according to the bible. It does not mean spiting out scriptures in the name of the Lord and hoping people cry out to God wanting him to forgive all their sins. I get so sick of it. The worst part about it is that it doesn't stop at music, I see it in the church, I see it everyday Christians I meet, and I see it in my friends. This is all because of a false image that the Christian media forces people to think. Christians these days don't want to question anything. They never ponder why they have faith in God, and when they do end up doubting it is some stupid **** like, "Why doesn't God save all these people from these traumatic events?," while they sit on their couch surrounded by a house of TVs, piles of shoes, etc. Christians these days are the most selfish people I have ever met in my entire life.

I am embarrassed to worship at the same church as these scumbags and share a religion with them.

/endofrant, but seriously, don't let them ruin it for you. Instead, challenge a Christian whenever you see them because the chances are, they haven't even thought about living the life that Jesus lived, or as some would say, supposedly lived.

That and some Christians think all secular music is satanic.

I know Christians who listen to 50 Cent and then tell me that anything with harsh vocals is satanic.

Lozzles. Hard-Fi are MAJOR LABEL in every sense of the word. A fat fockin' contract with Warner Bros themselves.

Arctic Monkeys, however, are as it happens an indie band. Zero, why the hell would you think otherwise???

Urban Hatemonger

I believe they're both indie labels with major label distribution.

Although I could be wrong

Meh, I'm Christian, but the only Christian bands I really listen to are Underoath, MxPx, and Slick Shoes, who don't really use that many Christian themes (except for maybe Underoath). Some Christian music is pretty awful though (DC Talk anyone?).

Well I am a Christian and the only good bands that I like that actually claim to be Christian are Trouble, Thrice, Alethenian, and Callisto. Cult of Luna's music has Christian messages, I feel, but they haven't really talked about their religion.

Honestly, I just feel that some secular bands spell out the true Christian message better than the Christian bands, and they aren't even trying to. Though technically everyone is up to their own interpretation, so I shouldn't be saying "true," but I find more of a Christ-attitude in bands like Cult of Luna then I do in Hawk Nelson or whoever the next big Christian band is these days.

Magnus has referred to himself as an "anarcho-spiritualist" if that means anything.

Hmm. Would that make him more of a unitarian or just an atheist? Either way, the fact is that I see more Christian themes in them then I see in any of these other popular Christian bands.
