    Does It Push An Agenda On The Listener?

    Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying has posted up a new blog about Christian Music and how it has changed over the last 10 years.  Here’s an excerpt: “Christian music in the last 10 years brings in a whole new approach.  New Christian bands don’t want to be too “preachy” because they don’t want their business to be pigeon holed into the Christian market.  Instead they cleverly conceal what it is they’re really trying to say.  Other motivation might be that some of them don’t want the listener to feel like the band is pushing too much of an agenda on the listener.  I can relate to the second reason because I don’t ever want someone to befriend me and later find out I was only nice to them in order to “evangelize.”  On the other hand, I recognize the message in my writing isn’t always obvious, but I don’t feel that I am ever purposefully vague about the lyrics I write.“  Read the rest of the blog here.

      huh? why label your band as Christian if you don’t want to “push an agenda” on your listeners and fans.. one doesn’t have to act like a jerk or be two faced to share Christs love..

      dude, Phil Recognition, if you read the whole article it expalins the point. You totally missed the point though by looking at your post.
