Oh dear...

I don't know whether to find this site hilarious or sad. Actually, it's a little of both. The site is dedicated to bashing various Christian artists for Crimes Against Uprightness™. Sixpence None the Richer actually (**gasp**) have lyrics about spiritual struggle! Don't they know that a real Christian is happy, happy, HAPPY 24-7 and never, ever has a single doubt?

Rich Mullins may have been drawn to...Catholicism! **swoon**

And look at what they have to say about the previously mentioned Steve Taylor. "Guilty by Association" indeed...

(Via Mark Shea.)

Update: By the way, they hate C.S. Lewis too...he's "devilish"!

Comments

These sites are ridiculous. They are condemning Mercy Me, for instance, because their music is sold in Target and Walmart. That's considered a HUGE scandal.

Are all Christian artists pure and right? Well, of course not, but this is all guilt by association (Mercy Me listed Sting as one of their influences - and he's not a Christian, so, logically . . .)

And one of the Mercy Me guys included a quote from that ungodly, occultic heretic C.S. Lewis . . .

You're right - I don't know whether to laugh or cry either.

How sad. Steve Taylor spends his entire adult life trying to bring people closer to Christ, and a bunch of know-nothing tut-tutters condemn him for it. They make all of us look bad, as most people tend to define Christians by our most vocal, least informed brethren.

I took another look at this site, read what they said about Johnny Cash and got downright angry. These Pharisees must thank God every day that they're so much "better" than all these people they like to condemn on their site. **shaking my head**
