'08 fans find changes at Christian music fest

Christianity:
The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and/or telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
And people think Scientology is nutty?

Under your logic America was founded in 1776 by criminals and terrorists bent on undermining the authority of a soveriegn nation in an effort to dodge taxes and the law.

But we both know that's not true and we both know your moronic cut-and-paste post is the work of a petty, juvenile imbecile.

One should also note that they don't include your disclaimer because any idiot could already tell you that when you buy a ticket. Only a dimwit such as yourself would need an explanation on why you just paid for a ticket to get into a rock concert.

Ryan, calling people names isn't very christian of you.

I hope everyone has a good time at their concert... just be aware that some people make a living preying on people of faith. when they should be living praying with people of faith.

please don't reuse my copyrighted phrase

Sorry for calling you names. I get angry sometimes. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

Nobody ever said that you must act,think,feel or belive what the other person says is true.If these kids have a gathering were they can feel accepted and one with another,who are you to judge them or degrade them? Noone is going to come to your house and pull you from your own self pitty.I personally like Slipknot and Mmudvaynes' music but you dont see me preachen to those people about their faith. BE YOURSELF.

omg that is so cool..lol

a pleasant change at any christian concert would be some interesting music. why is this music so derivitive, why is it so mundane, and boring? no passion, just cliches. no james cleveland, no staples. no excuse for bad music. not even jesus. nope.

The Alive Fest is full of bands that are boring as hell..and would be boring if they were stone Satanists. There are some good Christian bands.......some real good Christian synthpop bands like Joy Electric, Travelogue and the Echoing Green, but they'd be too weird for the ultra-mainstream cultural conservative Republicans that go to the Alive Fest.

I always wondered why every Christian band had to have this "Adult Contemporary" sound. Why can't a band sing about God and still rock out?

Well, yes, from the Brits POV you would be 100 per cent correct.

And even though it was a cut-and-paste, it is pretty funny.

You either believe in talking snakes or you don't. I won't comment on what is the truly "moronic" viewpoint.

Once you drink the kool-aid, your ability to rock out vanishes.
