    What is the best MP3 player I can buy?

    Regarding iPods, the iPod Classic and iPod Nano do NOT have wifi, so they're perfectly safe options. Doesn't mean they're the best choice, but just wanted to toss that fact out there.

    Terry Taylor and other alternative Christian musicians

    It's an acronym for "Jesus Per Minute", which itself is a snarky phrase for the assumed level of Jesus-mentions the CCM market wants for radio play and heavy promotion.

    Terry Taylor and other alternative Christian musicians

    I doubt the lyrics have resulted in marginalizing Terry Scott Taylor. I'd tend to blame a Christian market that has traditionally been uninterested in any kind of musically-challenging creativity. See, for example, The Danielson Famile for the way the CCM market ignores a fresh musical voice...

    Recommend some good Christian music please.

    "loud rock metal" would definitely not be a term I would use to describe Wovenhand. Check out their self-titled album, Consider the Birds, Mosaic... And if you like them, David Eugene Edwards's prior band, 16 Horsepower, is also pretty fabulous. (edit: apparently their upcoming album is...

    Alice Cooper's Christian Testimony

    Luckily, none of this actually matters since none of you are in charge of salvation.

    Alice Cooper's Christian Testimony

    In 2002 HM Magazine did a really excellent interview with Alice Cooper. Apparently the full article is no longer online (probably scrubbed off their website when they released a book of interviews, incl. the Cooper one). But here is a link that gets the main money-quotes: Alice Cooper Artist...

    What are some good dubstep bands?

    Dubstep is a weird little genre to get into because a lot of the dubstep artists aren't officially signed, so digging up albums can be a bit tricky. The first step is obviously Skrillex. By far the most popular dubstep artist. You can pick up his albums pretty much anywhere. After that...

    Anti-christian music

    I have yet to read anything in the Bible that would dictate how to consume creative output, be it from music, literature, painting, etc. The Bible is all about action and history--context for the works of Jesus. Yet from the way many Christian parents/leaders make it sound, spinning a single...

    What do you think of Eminem?

    I think he's a rapper.

    What are some of your all time favorite Christian songs?

    A biblical approach to secular music

    You guys are feeding the troll pretty hardcore here. And for the record, this thread is filled with blanket statements that have been preceded by "because I".

    Is music piracy stealing?

    It's, perhaps, semantics but illegal downloads aren't stealing. However, it IS illegal infringement on copyright/IP/etc. While the legal jargon is different, the end result is similar. Stealing is going into Best Buy and sneaking a CD into your trenchcoat and walking out. That said, just...

    Most heart-wrenching anime ever?

    Ones which have been mentioned: Barefoot Gen - for my money, sadder than the similarly themed Grave of the Fireflies. Elfen Lied - This one put me through the gamut of emotional reactions. Haibane Renmei - soul-crushing SaiKano - The scenario is hard, the decisions made harder, and the...

    Does God accept praise through pirated music?

    I don't have a horse in this fight, but I do feel the need to fact-check this. Maybe, in some cases. But considering a lot of albums leak before they can be bought, this often isn't true. Commercials. The radio station isn't just pocketing that money--some goes to the label/artist. False...
