    I've just never been able to 'get into' Contemporary Christian Music

    Dude, I'm with you. I couldn't really get into praise and worship type stuff. I was into Christian metalcore/hardcore stuff, but I'm getting out of that now. I'd like some more straightforward metal. There's quite a bit of those bands. And some of the guys in Megadeth are Christian now. And to...

    japanese bands

    I like the genres, but I don't know many bands. Other than Dir En Grey. I'll check out some of those bands though.

    Which secular musicians would you most hope get saved?

    In particular, Tom Morello, and all the dudes from RATM.

    Silly easter cartoon

    Funny picture! Gave me quite a chuckle. Great episode! I still have a hard time singing the actual lyrics after watching that.... Now I wanna sing "In the garden of Eden." instead of the actual lyrics....

    Music

    Oh dear, if I had a nickel for every time I heard this question.... I can't complain much though, I used to ask it in my young Christian days. I agree with the other people that there's nothing wrong with genres, rather the theme.

    Revolution

    I really enjoyed Revolution. Pretty stoked for it to come back on. I'll be at work, but it's going to get DVR'ed.

    Scientology

    Yeah, agreed. I have a hard time believing a religion started by a sci-fi writer. Plus, there is so much controversy with some of the people in it, as far as child labor and abuse. But then again, a lot of religions have similar problems.

    A biblical approach to secular music

    Amen! That's one of the main reasons I don't listen to CCM. Just so stale. Agreed. And what about stuff like petting your dog/cat/ferret/dragon/pet of choice? Or playing your favorite sport? We all do things and have passions that are fairly 'secular'. And what about instrumental music? No...

    New Monasticism

    Gotta love the Franciscans! I've seen the website for The Prayer Foundation. It seems pretty cool. A nice mix of modern and traditional. Although, from what I can tell, they haven't updated their website in a year or so. There is another group called The Simple Way, although they're not so...

    Video Game question

    Ditto on the Mass Effect thing. I would add that it also presents the tough choices, like choosing between who lives and who unfortunately dies, and the regret and everything that comes with it. To the OP, I think it's more of a personal thing. As long as you're not like "Take that *insert...

    The Virgin Mary

    Some really informative stuff here! I personally have never prayed to Mary or the other Saints, but that may change in the future. I have no problem with those that do. I think a lot of the more Protestant churches tend to forget about or don't give enough respect to Mary. She was the mother of...

    The Daily Office

    Thanks again to all of you. All your help is appreciated. I've been using the dailyoffice.org site and it's been very good so far. Easy to understand, easy to use.

    Metal Discussion

    Pretty funny! But of course, comparing most people playing guitar to Kirk Hammett, they aren't going to fare so well... lol. Kirk is definitely one of my favorite guitarists.
