""His Majesty. King of Kings, my rock, my salvation, Jeee-heee-sus." And that's when the girls really melt."

When did MSNBC start running Onion articles?

3. It is bizarre

Listen to a christian rock song, replace "Jesus" with "Baby" and you have every other pop song:)

4. Christian Rock - isn't that kind of like Jumbo Shrimp?

Military Intelligence?
Compassionate Conservative?

6. South Park made fun of this

There was a brilliant episode of South Park a while back that skewered the whole Christian Rock thing. It was hilarious, and free therapy for me (I'm a recovering evangelical).

8. Faith + 1

Best. South Park. Ever.

"I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus, I want to feel his salvation all over my face."

Stan: You don't even know anything about Christianity!
Cartman: I know enough to exploit it...

11. I loved the album cover!

It seriously looks like every Christian band's album cover I have ever seen, heh.

7. Most of those kids run into big problems later in life.

Especially when they reach middle and high school. A lot of these kids live in very isolated communities where there are only others who share the same beliefs and attitudes, only listen to Christian Rock, and only see the world through a very narrow field of vision.

Then, when they are forced to fly out a little in to the world, and see that there is indeed an entire world out there, they can't handle it too well.

10. See the movie "Saved"

It's funny and about kids like this.

9. remember W Goldberg movie where she plays a nite club singer

hiding out as a nun and reorganizes the choir......main song My Man.....people in congregation and audience were just going crazy....this is pentecostal/charismatic church everyday

12. Sister Act LOL

It's a cheesy movie but I just love it for some reason. I think it's because I watch TBN all the time and those pentacostal/Assemblies of God/"slain in the spirit" types kill me. Vegas is at least honest.
