Rock n' roll v. The Church

[NAD]

Seems like a lot of churches have rock bands nowadays, but I thought one of the tenets of rock n' roll was to scare churchies, not be one. I've been hanging around music forums a bit lately and it seems that like 32.867% of e-musicians play with their god damn church band.

I don't get it.

I like it, not only because I am serving God and the church, but I'm playing tastey music and don't have to deal with that bar/club scene. I just had enough of that a while ago, plus I'd rather play from 8-11am Sunday morning instead of 10pm-2am Saturday night. But that's just me.

The first service I attended at our church, they opened with a Metallica song. I wondered if I was in the right place, but as the service went on I found that the song related to the topic they were speaking on. I found it to be a refreshing approach. I ended up playing Kiss, Twisted Sister, Rolling Stones, Bowie and P.O.D among others. Great way to serve in my opinion, and a great way to relate to people who might not otherwise come into a church.

There have been a few times that we broke into "Alll along the Watchtower" in the middle of a worship song...

Eh, maybe I'm just a dick.

I still can't see whats wrong in this.

 

[NAD]

It's not wrong so much as it is weird.

What's wrong with "Under the Milky Way"?
(edit: oh wait, that's the Aussie band The Church)

err, in the meantime: Christianity must be destroyed. ALL OF IT.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

let the orthodox christians live, they're cool.

the rest can BURN

 

[BenMech]

I'll give you that Moose.

Those orthodox priests with their silly bigass headgear and huge beards looks almost (literally) righteous

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Orthodox Judaism is almost worth it, despite the silly rules (positively fascist compared to Reform Judaism), just cause of the hats. Shit yeah I want one of those hats.
