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.

secular meaning=Most of the music does not talk about Jesus Christ God etc...

It's because of a lot of things, but mainly, yes, they do it to lump every type of music that 1)doesn't mention God or spiritual things, 2)goes directly against Christian values (which is a very small minority), or 3)they just feel the music isn't 'inspired' by God, but that's just their opinion and they try to shovel it off on others without letting them make their own informed decision (and often times the ones that feel it isn't inspired aren't making informed decisions as it were; they're either parroting someone else or misinterpreted some of the lyrics).Shyguy420 said:
I wouldn't say that 'hardcore' Christians think it's evil, since 'hardcore' probably isn't the right word (and could easily be used to describe someone strong in their faith), but moreover a certain amount of Fundamentalist Christians think it's evil (but their arguments are generally very weak and they build themselves a nice straw man to go up on their soapbox and preach to people who don't need any preaching). But, like I said, just a certain amount. Not nearly everyone who is part of a Fundamentalist denomination is avidly against secular music. It's just a common stereotype. I'd probably be correct in assuming that most people in Fundamentalist denominations don't care one way or the other, just like every other denomination. It's just that small portion of fanatics that give everyone else a bad name, Fundamentalist or not.

I'm sorry but I do not see the big deal with secular music. They do not praise God or talk about God, but does that actually make it wrong? I know some bands and things sing about wrong things and people should not be supporting or promoting that music. But alot of musician sing about life in general, about heartache, love, just things going on, and things that have happened in their lives. They arent denouncing God, just singing about events in their lives or the way they are feeling. And nothing is wrong with that. Expressing yourself and letting out your emotions and feelings is only human. People in a celebirty role should be positive role models b/c they do have a big impact on young people.

Well this exact same thread comes up atleast once a week around here. Oldrooster even started a thread about this same topic and how it's getting really old. Look at pages 2 and 3 and you'll see atleast 3 topics on this subject.Shyguy said:
