  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don't think I could love a band as much as I love Blue October. I do pray for their salvation, but I wouldn't change a thing about their music. The Church needs to wake up to a lot of the issues they sing about (not just the ones mentioned in "Razorblade").

They're still around? I liked, like, one song by them. Which was "Hate Me" (go figure, right?)

We all have that one band that we really love above all other bands :) it's kinda neat.

Aye, they are still around. I like "Hate Me" as well. Their lead singer is currently on "An Open Book Tour," apart from the band, but utilizing their songs. It's meant to be a more intimate, acoustic tour with small gatherings of people who win tickets from local radio stations and the like.

The lead singer is bipolar, so I identify with a lot of what he sings about. I don't usually get giddy over a band and their whole discography, but Blue October is the exception to that rule.
