All Chruch music sucks.

Demon Hunter
Staple
Blindside
Creed

Those are four popular bands that have subtle or not-so-subtle "churchy" type things about them.

Alot of bands start out as "church related" to get venues originally and mediocre funding/support from the get-go. This doesn't really make them church bands. But I have to concur on the fact that "Christian 'rap'" sucks.

Look up some of the lyrics sometime.  They're abstractly related to Christianity.

Toby Mac?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

It's a pretty easy crossover.  Just change the word "Jesus" to "Baby".

There are lots of bands like that.  Deicide does it, but they kind of approach it from the other side.  In terms of bands who talk about it in not such a "fuck God" way, Grave Digger comes to mind.  The album "The Last Supper" is almost entirely about Christianity.  The songs "The Last Supper" and "Divided Cross" are a couple examples.  My favorite one, though, is Crucified.  Here are some lyrics from Crucified (which I actually had trouble finding.. the first few sites were missing the first stanza, wtf?):

Quote
Through iron bars I see the cross
They built it upon the hill
They're sharpen the nails to pierce my hands
They plait the crown of thorns

Father tell me what went wrong
My whole life my faith was strong
Father tell me why should I die
This screaming mob yells crucify
My curse comes true I have to die
Why I am crucified

The walls around me cold and grey
Cramp my soul, nothing more to say
I gave my life for the human brood
But they've payed me in blood

Hehe, yeah.  I'm somewhat confused, though.  Is this song supposed to promote or demote Christianity?  If it's the former, it's not very accurate, haha...

I don't think it's promoting or demoting it (is that even the right word? whatever :P).  As far as I can tell, it's just about Christianity.  They don't really put a positive or negative spin on it.  It's not "I love God!" or "Fuck your God", just "I'm going to be crucified, what went wrong?"

I think so.

Yeah, that's kind of what I pulled out of it too.  Most songs that promote Christianity are pretty informined / in argreement with the religion.  This, obviously, is not. :)

As I said, I don't think it promotes or demotes Christianity, and I was using "demote" in the way that you meant it when I said that. :P

Ooh, and another stuipd song is "Drops of Jupiter" by Train.

HORRIBLE!!

Eww!! I like My Chemical Romance, and some of Green Day's songs. :D

You have bad taste in music.

 ( Reference to the series of videos )

I respect other people's taste in music.  I do, however, have a hard time respecting anyone who lives by their music to be different.  But yeah, I used to like Simple Plan.  Then my balls dropped.

Haha, just playing with you. :)
-.-;;;  I don't care what you think, so ha! :D <3

Some Christian songs don't always have to be saying that they love God and that they follow their way.

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Well I guess that is true. I like underoath and I guess they are under the Emo/Chruch category.

The way you categorize your music is hideously general. :P
