AiiiEEEE Cannibal Corpse! You know, those guys don't even take
THEMSELVES seriously. They're sort of like the GWAR of gross.
Ew. Ew. Ew.
Anyways, I've somehow considered "modern pop" to be really an
uncomfortable fit with the religious message--it just seems to
be sneaking in the backdoor. Even though I'm not a Christian,
little on Earth moves me the way Handel's _Messiah_ does. Pop
music as a format just seems too "small" for a message of that
magnitude--it's too selfish an enterprise, too centered on an
individual person (or groups of people), which I guess is a
concern that could be leveled at evangelism (or ecumenicalism!)
sui generis.
But then, that's my flaming UUism showing through. :)

What is it about religious education that tends to polarize people
one way or the other? I don't have any problem with those who
espouse the Christian (in the US sense) message, provided they're
engaged in a dialogue with the wider world rather than a tirade
against it. Fortunately, most are the former.

it's becoming more serious of an information exchange.)
