As I see it, Christian "rock" has always been lame. Rock is about rebellion, and anyone who has studied history knows that rebellion was dealt with quite harshly by the various sects of Christianity (and Islam, and Judaism, etc.). The idea of "Christian Rock" is nothing more than a pr scam . . . "hey, let's get some mediocre guitarists and some tattoos, and the kids will think Christianity is cool!" Stephen Baldwin had a similar idea in his "skateboard for jesus" tape, and said as much. Finally, squarely back on topic, there was a wonderful segment about the lameness of Christian rock in the Adult Swim series "Metalacolypse," when one of the members almost dies and decides to "get religion." I reccomend it for several reasons, all of them humorous. Great website, gasmonos, even if I am a scientific agnostic and not an athiest (but a couple of my best friends are athiests, does that count?) . . .

But it's clear CRC doesn't value reason all that much, at least not as much as the mythologies he grew up with. Stories have the power to capture our minds. Unfortunately, they also have the power to imprison them indefinitely. It was worth a try.

If all you can come back with is yet more preaching, instead of responding in some considered way to the criticism, then a reasonable conclusion is that you are just putting up a smokescreen because your religion can't hold up under examination. In fact, I think that is the correct conclusion. I wish you all a happy new year, and especially one that sees a decline in religion and all the evil it brings with it. crc/Chad

He says that He is about open to you a new season of life where there is no longer the spirit of fear that causes you to freeze when sharing the gospel face to face. He has given you an opportunity to defend the Nation and the Kingdom of God and calls you His Warrior. He ask you to wear proudly the seal of His Spirit and shout from the mountains what He shares in secret. You are a wathchman on the wall for Christ and the Lord wiil alow you ti increase in dreams and visions as you will need these for this new season. The Lord also says that there is a generational disease that is plagueing your family and I keep seeing a heart, so I believe that it has something to do with heart disease. I am not completely sure on the vision of the heart. But the Lord says that He is bringing and end to this plague and commands the sisease to loose you generations! Beginning with you and on to your children. The Lord says that there is also a child that is yours that doesn't live with you and these blessings will even affect them. The last thing the Lord says for you is that your financial hardships are soon over. The Lord has declared the word abundance over you and from here on you will begin to see exponential increase in finances and also spiritual blessing. Lord I pray that right now You would open the heavens to Hyrocket and allow him to openly see the angels ascending and descending. Break open the heavens and rain down blessing on him so that he will not be able to contain all of it. Restore relationships that have been broken and destroy every weapon formed against him. Release your Spirit in measures that overwhelm him and consume him. May the Lolrd bless and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you and give you shalom shalom, the peace that passes understanding! Hyrocket, it has been a pleasure to meet you brother! I love you in the Lord and bless you in Jesus Name! Merry Christmas! Chad Hyrocket, I have a word for you from the Lord.

One day you will know for yourself and I pray that it is not before the day of judgement. It is appointed for every man once to die and then the judgement. Please lay down your pride and humble yourself before Jesus and accept His love now. He will give you every chance to humble yourself but if you refuse then you have no right to stand before Him and claim ignorance as a defense. This is my last post. I pray that somehow God would break this hardness and anger from your hearts that you might find the truth you say you look for. Again. If you all truly were looking for truth you would turn to Christ in humility and ask Him sincerely and He would show you. You are sent as an adversary of the devil and Satan laughs at you as he uses you like puppets. Please allow the truth to penetrate your heart before it is too late which will not be long.

Allow me to say that ignorance is not bliss nor is it wise. It is like being 3 years old and trying to understand calculous. If you can not look at the heavens and see the works of God and His evidence then neither would you believe despite how much evidence you had. The fact is that there are those that will see the Lord returning on a white hrse with the hosts of heaven with Him as Hos army and still try to explain Him away. You say that I am preaching but I tell you that I desire to see you in the Kingdom of God. If you are so hardened and calloused of heart that you do not know truth when you hear it then for you it is truly to late/ Romans 1 tells us that their will be those who trade the truth of God for a lie and they will perish for it. I pray that this is not you. One thing I gaurentee, the day will come when you wish you had and that day you will remember what I am telling you now. This will be my last post and I will leave you with these words. Jesus came unto His own but His own recieved Him not. Neithe did Christ force them to but gave the a choice. We are not like animals we are able to reason and make choices from that reasoning. the problem is that your reasoning will never lead you to Christ because it doesn't make sense to us that He would love us enough to give His firstborn Son for us but even though it makes no sense it is truth. Again I say, CHOOSE NOW and stop riding the fence! BE MEN and stop blaming you ignorance on the Lord but open your heart to Him and let Him show you what you desire to know. I tell you as His representative that He does love you but soon there will be no more time for cinicism and mindless arguments that establish nothing more than your own pride refuses you. I plead with you as though you hand from a cliff with your life in the balance, step into Jesus and allow Him to save you for soon, very soon, within the next 30 days you will wish you had. That is all I have to say. I have given you truth and you have not recognized it but I pray the scales soon be removed from your eyes and you would see the truth that has come to you. The pride that you wear like a necklace will be sacrficed as an offering to the Lord sooner thatn you know! I do pray that it is here, on this side of eternity for if not then you seal your own fate. You all no longer have a right to stand before Jesus and say I didn't know, because I have told you the truth. Please listen to me, not with your mind that is filled with the worlds arrogance but with your heart that beats within you and absolutely knows the truth that your mind denies. Jesus Christ is LORD!!

Fundamentally, you didn't have the facts right. Have you nothing better to counter with than yet more preaching? It would be beneficial for you to stop your regurgitation of christian dogma that we have all heard before, and put some time instead into trying to understand even the subject matter that you are presented with above. Giving up on trying to understand, such as you suggest doing, is at best a cop out, and more significantly, looks to represent an attempt to shield religion from the critical examination that it has long deserved (and thus far is unable to withstand). crc/Chad
