I don't get it. Why do you still not see...
"You were recently criticized by Christian radio talk-show host Dr. Dobson for forsaking your religious beliefs by touring with Ozzfest and Korn".
WUV: We respect the man, but he never had a conversation with us. Just because P.O.D. are a spiritual band doesnt mean we adhere to any one religion, and all kinds of people want to use us as a symbol for their thing. Theres a thousand different definitions of what a Christian is, but we dont feel like there are any lines."
(Rolling Stone, Dec. 14-21, 2000, p. 102)
There is only ONE way to the Father!
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
John 14:6"
Does P.O.D. even KNOW what a Christian is?

If this right here doesn't tell you that they are not christian, I don't know what will...
Movieline asks P.O.D. "are you a Christian band" look at their confusing answer?
Q: Are you or are you not a Christian band?

Were not, but we do believe in Jesus.

What exactly do these guys "believe" about Jesus?

P.O.D. supports Bob Marley. A "friend" of the devil...
The Devil come and me shake hands with the Devil! Devil have his part to play. Devils a good friend too
"
Bob Marley
(Stephen Davis, Bob Marley, p. 148)
If you go to the website I gave earlier, you can see Sonny wearing a Bob marley shirt.
"If you listen to old school reggae music and Marley himself, 95 percent of his lyrics are scripture, straight from the bible, the word of God. I used to listen to reggae music and it made me a peaceful person. . . when I identified with a music, it was reggae music. We definitely respect that culture."
Sonny Scandoval, POD singer
So now it's ok to support people who are friends with the devil? I don't think so!

The devil-inspired, Carlos Santana is a "great inspiration" to P.O.D.
"I would have to say a major influence for me growing up would be Carlos Santana. . . he was a
great inspiration to me. . . I grew up on - "Black Magic Woman" and all that other stuff -
is what really moved me."
Marcos, P.O.D.

The Bible says be in the world and not of it. This is definately not being out of the things of this world.

Not surprising, Traa admits to MTV, they "dont even go to church", and they "pick up the Bible when they have time"
"
We didnt even go to church, you know what I mean? We found God in our hearts and in our lives, period.
We pick up the Bible when we have time, we read it, and what God does in our life, thats what he does."
Traa, P.O.D.

The bible is one of the most important parts of your life as a christian. It should be one of your first priorities, not what you read when you have time!
"You know how many people over the years have come
in the name of Jesus and organized religion, that people look at it and go, Man, if thats what knowin Jesus is about, I dont want any part of it.
And I dont blame em."

Why always paint a NEGATIVE picture of Christianity? Why not mention the thousands of peoples lives put back together because of 'the name of Jesus and organized religion'? What about the thousands and thousands of drug addicts, drunkards, satanists, prostitutes, broken homes, abused children, people without any hope, whose lives were "born again" because of the wonderful name of Jesus Christ and organized religion? What about all the live-changing revivals of Billy Sunday, Dwight L. Moody, Spurgeon, Torrey, and Billy Graham that came in the name of Jesus and organized religion? How about all the thousands of hospitals, rescue missions and churches that were built in the name of Jesus and organized religion? How about all the thousands of missionaries who literally gave their lives to bring the wonderful gospel of Jesus Christ to people without any hope?
What about some of those people?
Wake up!
P.O.D. IS NOT A CHRISTIAN BAND!
