Hey I love Norma Jean a lot, and all those hardcore Christian Metal bands. I think the beauty of it all is that they touch beauty, strength, and growth found in brokeness and pain. ‘Jesus’ didn’t ride up gracefully, free of pain, hurt, or uncomfort but instead the road to the cross was difficult. Life isn’t easy in any religion or cause but i suppose all of them call us to better ourselves, not just for others or just for God or a god(s). I believe we are all called for something better in life, just because we might be upset at a Higher Source, or religion, for not delivering to our needs and wants…doesn’t necessarily make us forsaken or faithless…it makes us stronger in faith. Non believers or believers, we are all human….with real situations, sufferings, hurts, pains, sins, but if we just live to just see that, and that alone….then we are dead and blind to life.

Ah, the heaviest I get is Queen, so perhaps not my cup of tea.

Hi robert, thanks for the comment.

These bands are pretty hardcore, you might not like it if it isnt your style of music ie: Death metal, hardcore, screamo, etc….but if you do like it, prepare for a melted face.

thanks for stopping by

I haven’t heard of any of these bands and I thought I was quite with it in terms of Christian music. I’ll check them out. I find a lot of Christian music very insipid/samey.

Hi Pam, Thanks for the comment.

I don’t know what exactly you are referring to with the perfect thing—but I am curious, what makes Christianity more the answer than Islam, Buddhism, or Non-theism?

It’s not about having all the answers, or being perfect. NO one was perfect, save Jesus Himself. We strive for perfection THROUGH Him but can’t attain it here on earth.
Religion is NOT the way to go-Christianity is. There is a HUGE difference. I’m afraid I’m unfamiliar with the bands you’ve listed, but I do like Christian contempo or rock. I think we must all just do the best we can, as we can, and not judge one another in the process, only honor God the best we can as we do this journey here on earth.

hi,
havin studied in a christian school and being a hindu myself .. i have felt a bit of those bad things bout both religions. religion is a fad … but no religion is inherently screwed up … its the followers and the priests who twist and bend doctrines into whatever suits them the best … i believe in god …. i guess thats religion enough … everything else is just superficial !

I’ll have to take a listen to Zao. Not familiar with them at all.

Music can bring out some powerful emotions, both good and bad. As a Christian, there are still many secular bands that I listen to. Aerosmith’s song “Blind Man” still to this day holds a special meaning for me.

As to what you said about not having all the answers. Sometimes I don’t think it’s about having the answers or even finding them. It’s about listening to the answers that are already there.

Peace out,
BJ
