do you listen to

Take a look at THIS. If you have no idea what you're looking at, it's because you don't play video games, and you haven't walked by a Best Buy recently. Because of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, gamers get to live their deepest fantasies of being musically talented; it is an enormously popular genre of leisure. And obviously, since some believers hold that everything with a hard drum beat is from the devil, this genre of gameplay is banned from some Christian households.

Well, no more.

Let me go ahead and make some of the cynical arguments you're already formulating in that narrow head of yours. Christian rock music is musically awful and trite and blah blah blah. Take your pretentions to the nearest indie rock festival and share them with the haters of rap and soft rock and classical music, and all the other judges of taste. Sorry we aren't all so brilliantly discerning like you.

Or Christians shouldn't be imitating the larger culture, but separating from it. When Christian-themed art dominated the Renaissance ergo dominating the overlying culture, was that such a bad time? Sorry you don't want Christianity to pervade and subvert culture; we can't always run away from the present by heading toward eternity.

Or Christian rock music really is evil and oft-times unBiblical. Got it, got it. Drums and electric guitars don't belong in worship. Go tell that to Hillsong United, please. I'm concerned for their love of the Lord. Sorry our praise is too loud for you.

Or tobyMac is awful and shouldn't be included in the game. I see your point. Really, he's terrible. That you can fairly judge.
