Nope.

I cannot recommend any indie Christian music.


I'm curious.  Is that because:

a) you don't know of any
b) you don't know of any that are any good
c) you think the whole notion of a "Christian" band as fucksticked
d) a and c

A note to Se7en:

Have a smoke and re-fuckin-lax.

Edit: Cheers.  Thanks for directing this noob. :)

Quote from: Kid Modernist
Man, I didn't realize there was so many anti-religious bigots on this forum.


I don't hate religious people so long as they don't start a crusade in my back yard.  Unfortunately, this happens more frequently than anyone wants to admit.  I do hate religion and what it often makes people do to themselves and others.  This isn't bigotry any more than hating fascism and what it often makes people do to themselves and others.  Religion, really, is the ultimate fascism anyways.  Not liking songs praising God is, to me, the same as not liking songs praising Hitler.  Although Hitler killed a lot less Jews than the Christian interpretation of God.

They are stupid? Because they don't have the same world view as you?


Exactly.  Same goes for people who like Coldplay.

Quote
We shouldn't judge anybody about what they believe. Any atheist should know that it is a belief not a fact. Nobody knows until they die.


Atheism is not the belief there is no god.  The nonexistence of god is a conclusion one comes to from the belief that empirical means can be used to understand the workings of the universe.  When your worldview is based on observations and naturalistic explanations, you find that nothing besides the bible and a bunch of arm-waving supports the existence of anything remotely supernatural.  This includes life after death, as we know that the mind exists as pattern, function, and chemical in the brain and we can watch that deteriorate after death.  To argue that this pattern, function, and chemical is somehow preserved after death because we can't imagine a world in which we do not exist at least as some sort of observer is very egocentric and has no basis in empirical fact.  This is off-topic, but I feel that this is a legitimate point to contend.

My whole point of this post: Come on everybody, can't we just agree to disagree?


My whole point of this post: Christian music sucks.  Almost as much as Coldplay.

Shit.  Never mind.  I’m done with this thread.

Thanks to all who gave me some interesting ideas.  I’m not a Christian music fan by nature.  But I think it odd that some will write off a whole music category because it is so called “faith-based” music.  I chased down some wild Eastern Indian music awhile back.  It is very "faith based."  Not my favorite stuff but when I’m in the mood I’ve got some stuff to drive my sweetie (and the neighbors) right up the wall.


But we’re all entitled to think what we think and that’s what makes the Internets interesting.

Cheers.

Jake.

And I'm not even an atheist. My view of the world is somewhat different to sp2's, though I do believe in the scientific method: however, some of the things the scientific method is revealing to us about the workings of the universe right now are so bizarre  that I'm not even sure in the future that it will be necessary to seperate the natural and supernatural. This doesn't mean I believe in the bible, given that it has about as much worth as a source (for a variety of reasons) as Winnie the Pooh (I have occasionally expressed undying believe in Winnie and his promise of the Hundred Acre Wood to annoy the crap put of christians. In Nomine Kanga, et Roo, et Tigger too.) I won't digress into my religious worldview here, but...dude! Why did you limit it to christian stuff? Why couldn't you just ask for spiritual music? Download:

Inkubus Sukkubus - Wytches
Sol Invictus - Our Lady of the Wild Flowers
Within Temptation - Mother Earth
Waylander - Sunrise
Skyclad - Ring Stone Round
Bathory - One Rode to Asa Bay
Cruachan - A Druids Passing
Forefather - Ours is the Kingdom

For some proper spirituality.

Fuck me.  You are absolutely right.
