Christian music is about all I listened to for 20ish years. Giving up my faith was very hard for me, and I can't listen to Christian music without getting sad or even crying at times. Too many painful memories.

I've had to spend a lot of time this year finding new music to listen to. P.S. I'm always open to suggestions, as long as it isn't Country.

PPS: Have you realized that "Oceans" is crying out to God to make your life harder so that you can trust him better? Pretty messed up, IMHO, and I thought that even when I was still a Christain.

I like music. Christian or not.

Many of the christian influenced works from the middle ages are, of course, timeless. However, much of the christian pop and rock of today is simply a faded carbon copy of its already mediocre (at best) source material.

I despise some Christian music but there are some gospel songs when performed by Little Richard and a few others just simply rock, they get me singing along tapping my feet, even boogying around my kitchen while I cook. Good music is good music.

This is an area where I can't let my biases sway me. I love music so much...and in the end, good music is good music, regardless of its origin. The power to conjure up inspiring or tragic (and beautiful) emotion through song is not exclusive to any creed.

I can’t even stand going to Church, let alone liking Christian music.
