Any Christians making music here?

[koolkeys]

The thing about the "X" is true as far as I know. I used to think it was offensive, but it's really not. I still use the full word "Christian" because I feel that I should.

Anyway, as I said before, and even the thread starter said it, that it's sad when you start a genuine thread, then have to week through 12 pages of crap to find the answer to your question. I'm no forum police, but he didn't ask what you thought of the Christian faith, or anything else. It seems that some people can't resist trolling around.

I have no problem with you and your religion or beliefs, but when you accuse Christians of being closed minded and all, and find any way you can to criticize, then you are just guilty of what you are accusing. Besides, most of you get your opinions based on someone who just gives Christianity a bad name. Instead of seeing that not all Christians are bad, you choose to bundle all Christians together. That can be done with any religion in the world. But the Christians here don't go around doing that.

You may like me, and you may not, and whatever it is, it doesn't bother me. You may like Christianity, you may not, but at least go start another thread about it. Stop trolling someone elses thread.

Sorry to go off topic myself, but it really just pisses me off sometimes, and I just had to get it off my chest. Long day, very frustrating. No offense to anyone is intended. Peace, ya'll.

since this is "your" thread i won't discuss the accusation here. if ya wanna open a topic at hyde park, i'll see ya there

[koolkeys]

This isn't "my" thread. And I don't really care to argue it. I never step into hyde park, because I will spend all my time there debating, defending, and whatever. I'm quite educated in religions of the world, history of the church, and about anything else related to religion. The debate that COULD ensue would likely end up being very lengthy and maybe even heated. My intention here isn't to argue my religion against yours, or anyone elses. I never stated anything to imply that.

I share this rant because it's not fair to the thread starter who is asking a genuine question. 90% of the replies here have nothing to do with what he asked.

It's common curtesy, and any mature person should be able to understand that. So don't expect to start a fight or debate with me here or anywhere. You're wasting your time.

Now, more direct at you androidlove, I said MOST people. I don't doubt any specific person's opinions and what it's based on. I just know how people are, and I happen to know the ways that people judge other people's religion. It's sad, but I would dare say that what I said is pretty accurate. But I'm sorry I won't be joining you in hyde park. Maybe someday. Peace man.

Back on topic, and I apolagize for contributing to the opposite, but I'm reworking my website, so I wish I could share some music, but until I get my new host sorted out, I'll have to wait. But as soon as I do, I will post some mp3's for anyone who is interested. I do mostly contemporary Christian music, but not everything I write is "Christian". But as I said before, it is written from a Christian perspective, whether it mentions Christ or not.

I do like alot of what I've been listening to of others in this thread. Anyone ever coming through Nashville, I would love to treat you to Starbucks or something, and maybe pick yer brain and let you pick mine.

Most people think of the sixties music era as being dominated by the likes of The Beatles, Elvis and Jimi Hendrix !!...but we shouldn't forget that, at the very same time, a bloke from a little farm in Kempsey NSW, by the name of Slim Dusty, was also successfully creating his own piece of '60s music history back here in Australia.

Dim Slutty? What did he do, gangsta rap?

[Rangtangtang]

Slim, oh he's country and western. Look if you realy want to learn guitar, slim is one of the first you should check out.

Over here, he went by the name of Nonkel Bob (Uncle Bob):

[Meffy]

Shade thine eyes, that they may not be blinded by the glory that is SLIM WHITMAN, the Fourth Pep Boy.

[Reverend Rhythm]

Huh? What have I missed here?

[hao nao]

I'm not a Christian or a Pagan or a Buddhist (though I recently did a track at 108 bpm), nor have I read the follow-up novels to 2001: A Space Odyssey

but I am a fellow traveler, and I would not diminish the importance of the Nazarene as someone pointing at the Moon, even though his legend has been shaped by a worldly administration and apparently misunderstood by some

[VitaminD]

hi
