A question:

P.O.D. are Christian. On their coming tour, they're being opened for by a band whose breakout single is called "Heaven's A Lie". What implications does this pose for quantum theory and matter-antimatter dynamics?

In all seriousness, Believer is (was?) pretty good, and Tourniquet have an excellent rep. Mortification is funny live; if they didn't suck so bad, they'd be an awesome opener for Vital Remains, much like that double-bill with Stryper King Diamond almost set up back in the '80s. Unfortunately Vital would just play them the hell off the stage.

The problem with Christian music is that there are too many groups of Christians-who-play-music playing for Christians as opposed to musicians-who-are-Christian playing for music fans. They are accordingly unable to reach out to non-theists and anti-theists because the music isn't good enough, and there's no incentive to get better because they have a fanbase that will buy their stuff for non-musical reasons.

Isn't there a Christian maxim about not hiding one's lamp under a bushel?

Well said.

I think Newsboys are probobly at the top of the heap, though DC Talk and Joy Electric are pretty close behind
