Why hasn't anyone posted about Creed? They aren't Christian...well they have good moral songs but, they aren't technically Christian.

You can read an interview MTV did with Scott Stapp @:
http://www.mtv.com/bands/s/stapp_scott/news_feature_080904/
Here's a little snippet from the interview about Creed and Christianity (emphasis mine):
MTV: Because of the misconception that Creed were a Christian rock band, are you worried that having your first solo material appear on an album of songs inspired by "The Passion of the Christ" is going to continue that misunderstanding?
Stapp: It's ironic, because I started off in a Christian home, and then I ran from it when I was 17. Then Creed got the Christian tag, and here I am launching my solo career with a song on The Passion of the Christ album.
Creed was never Christian rock. I wrote a lot about my doubts and fears and my past, and people took what I wrote if they had Christian ears and heard it as Christian rock songs. I was just using music to deal with things that were going on in my life. I was questioning and confronting my past.
When people started calling us a Christian rock band, we didn't know why. Initially, Mark, Scott and Brian were kind of upset with me because I think they thought I had some kind of agenda. They weren't raised in that environment. They just wanted to be in a rock band.
MTV: Do you fear that "Relearn Love" will be taken as proof that Creed, and you personally, were Christian rock?
Stapp: No, because I'm not evangelical. I'm not doing this to try to preach this to people or to try to make people believe in what I believe in. I'm not handing out Bibles at my shows, and just like with Creed, not all of my [solo] songs are going to be about my spiritual life. It's a part of my life.
MTV: What if the negative criticism comes up again? Are you better prepared now?
Stapp: I'll just address it and be honest about it. If the Christian thing comes up again, maybe I'll put on a Superman suit with "God" in the front and be God-Man. Maybe I'll make a satire out of it. What can you do except deal with it?
At the end of the day, the people who know you, whom you love, are the only ones I'm accountable to.

I don't know them real well, but I think he never really was a Christian, if so he should have expressed it all the time in his music to Christ.

Alter Bridge is a subpar Creed ripoff/spinoff with a terrible vocalist.
I used to really, REALLY like Creed when they were together. (Jael and JesusWasn'tWhite can probably attest to this)
But ever since the band split, the sight, sound, or thought of that band turns my stomach.

because even Jesus hates creed.orion910 said:
jk. um... first of all, they're not together anymore. and alot of people didn't like their sound. i would tend to believe that most of the regular posters in this forum would fall into that category. I like a couple of their songs, but i've always hated their sound. but if you like them, that's cool.

man, i'm glad you don't like them now, at least. you should've just stuck with older grunge bands and never bothered with liking creed (since they did a shoddy job of trying to sound like pearl jam).
as long as we're talking about creed though, what the heck was scott stapp ever thinking having his hair like that?! it was just disgusting! i don't know if it's still the same, but if so, maybe someone can get him on one of those makeover shows on tv...

I liked Creed before anyone ever heard of them. But yeah, once they became popular they just didn't ever try anything new. They stuck w/ the same-old formula and yes, they became overplayed. People got sick of them. People made fun of them. I still like "my own prison" and I associate that music with that time in my life, which was a good time.
Yeah, but AlterBridge is just Creed + a lead singer who is a clone of the old one.
