| Direct quote from metal-archives: | Quote: | | Contrary to what everyone may believe this band is NOT a Christian band. |
Anyone know where they got this conclusion? or is it jsut a bunch of bias crap? I went ahead and put Christianity in their lyrical themes anyway. |

| Wherever the phrase "Christian band" is found, trouble follows closely behind. |

| Personally, I've gotten to the point where the whole "are they/aren't they" debate is just.....irksome. I mean, Tom Araya professes to be Catholic, and the DID write a song called "Jesus Saves"....So I guess Slayer has to qualify as a "christian band", right?

|  @ the entire post above by Exo. Yeah.....spot on.  I seldom use the term "Christian band".......I think more of bands that have Christians in them.  Meh......semantics.

Well, I like early Trouble so that's ok.

| GW -- I've started using the phrase "Christ-influenced." It works very nicely in my own mind, but of course isn't really any better in talking with others. |

Yeah, I've been using "faith-based" but perhaps that's a bit of a stretch for some. Of course, that is fairly broad for me - if the lyricist and/or the band as a whole share a Christian faith & that faith shines through in the lyrics, even if it's subtle, I consider it to be at least partially "faith-based". But again, my definition doesn't set well w/ everyone. |

Well, your definition SUCKS!
Just kiddin' MetalFro - I give mucho credence to your opinions, even if I don't agree with 'em all the time. Come to think of it, I think I DO agree with you most of the time. Oh well. |

It has a nice ring to it......and I know what it says because you've placed it in context.
