Thread Name: Can you sing 'Gospel' without Belief?
Subject: RE: Can you sing 'Gospel' without Belief?
ddw said it for me right away.........And I'd like to add to his one point. An awful lot of the "modern Christian music" is really contrived sounding and very hokey. It's almost tuneless being so contrived and the words are ridiculous. Even a bunch of old agnostics and atheists can get some moral, if not "Godly" meaning from many old gospel songs, but this new "Up with People" type bullshit is hideous!

I went with Connie to a Christian Home Schoolers Convention and among other things, I listened to a group playing........well, something. All these kids were pretty fine players and singers, but the songs(?) were just nothing. What a shame........You wanted to run up and say, "Hey....Try this instead!"
