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 music DOES have some very bad effects on me!



It makes me poor!

Being a Beatle Freak I buy EVERYTHING from The Beatles and their solo recordings. I can't even afford to buy some of my other fav artists as well like the Rolling Stones (or is it Strolling Bones!), The WHO, Led Zep, etc. etc.

See secular music IS harmful!

Agreed. I'd be a rich woman if I stopped buying music and going to concerts :sigh:

What are everyone's thoughts on music? Christians, what do you think about secular music? Lot of my friends are debating, saying Christians are negatively affected by secular music, or that music doesn't affect the person and there should be noboundaries about what they should listen to. What do you guys think?

music is music.

it's a personal thing to me. if someone wants to judge secular music because it's human beings talking about real things they go through (which is simliar, if not exactly the same of what Christians go through), so be it. some bands go extremely far for sure.

but i say, figure it out for who you are. i listen to secular music more than Christian. i have my favorite Christian bands to say the least, but i listen to far more secular music.

i just have to say, remember that if you can't control what influences you, then maybe you need to start there. once you realize that it's up to you, your own responsibility to take in control of your own life, then go from there. that's my two cents.
