This article is filled with stupid assumptions. I'll post a few.
<BLOCKQUOTE>Apparently, P.O.D. also does not believe in hell:
<BLOCKQUOTE><B>"Its not youre going to burn in hell</B>. Its love and respect."
Marcos, P.O.D.
(Guitar Legends, No. 37, p.28)
<BLOCKQUOTE>"Were not passing out pamphlets that say get your life straight <B>or youre gonna burn in hell</B>. The Bible says its God love and kindness that leads people to repentance."
Sonny, P.O.D.
(Guitar World, Oct 2000, p. 78)
Lets get something straight! MR. SONNY the Lord Jesus Christ was NOT A REBEL!

What really makes meis that cultists like these pose as Christians.
It's one thing to be non-Christian and to present false ideas and to be in a cult. I feel only sympathy for those who are in that miserable place, and I pray that they will come to know Jesus.
I have no sympathy for evil wolves like pod.
I fear for their very souls.

I have taken a vow of absolute celibacy, as I feel that is God's command for us as Christians in this evil time. I believe that *rock* music (I hate to even use that word as it means fornication) is directly against what we should aspire to as Christians.
It is absolutely wrong to sing about or even play the music that suggests immorality. . .
Say no to lusts of the flesh.

You're joking right? I'm not trying to be rude, but I just don't see how this is possible. Are you purposefully closing yourself off from people that you deem unholy, or are you living in a whole in the ground! j/k.But...I still don't get how this is possible.
"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."

Q: Are you or are you not a Christian band?
A: POD: Were not, but we do believe in Jesus.

"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."

"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."

The Bible says be in the world and not of it. This is definately not being out of the things of this world.
P.O.D. supports Bob Marley. A "friend" of the devil...

If you go to the website I gave earlier, you can see Sonny wearing a Bob marley shirt.

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.

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!

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?
