1. You're not making Christianity better!
You're just making rock & roll worse!

Reminds me of that King of the Hill episode. :D ROFL

2. And of course the hero was saved by a Chick tract...
Uh, Mr. Chick...Prov.16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

3. Wow, what hip lingo!
"But if you could let go and flow, you guys could really hit the charts!"

HA HA HA HA HA! Don't try to "cool it up" (got that one from a religious tract, too) if you don't know how. It just makes things worse. Funny, but worse.

4. REAL rockers wouldn't think signing a contract with their own blood
was "gross". Pansy ass losers!

On the other hand, "We're gonna Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock with the ROCK" had a good beat and it was easy to dance to. I give it a 62.

7. It was a real rocker!
I sure miss their concerts. After the one guy turned gay and got AIDS, the other became a vampire and the one Christian rocker actually turned to Christianity, their music never quite rocked as hard.

:headbang:

5. That's one of my all-time favorites
I got a copy of that tract ages ago.

Now I want to go watch the "Christian Rock Hard" episode of South Park again. :P

6. Come out and say it, Chick. You think "race music" is evil!


He all but says the N-word. :eyes:

8. Most ridiculously over the top Chick tract ever!
It's got every right wing stereotype nightmare all in one. Satan. gay marriage, drugs.... still trying to figure out the vampirism bit though.

Problem with most Christian rock in the 80's was that it was poorly produced crap with bands that were trying too hard to sound like somebody else. I doubt that any of them were secretly working for "Lew Siffer" though :evilgrin:

11. What kind of name is Siffer anyway?
I wonder if Black Sabbath started out as a Christian Rock band...

13. I think he subconsciously snuck some anti-Semitism in there.
Or maybe consciously.

23. Some of their songs actually would fit.
Despite the name of the band, it could be argued that "After Forever" was the first Christian Rock song ever written

Have you ever thought about your soul? Can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you are dead you just stay in your grave.
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope? Do you think he's a fool?
Well I see the truth.
Yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways.
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days.

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believed in God above?
They should realize before they criticize that God is the only way to love.

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run?
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say that you may as well worship the sun.

I think it is true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced.
Will you be so sure when your day is near say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down now you can't retrieve.

Perhaps you think before you say God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he is the one,
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate.
Or will you jeer at all you hear?
Yes! I think it's too late.

I heard one Christian rock song that sounded pretty good. One. The rest is crap.

17. I renounce all of my music
I will burn all my CDs tonight when I get home,
I will now start getting rid of all the music on my computer.

It is evil
Chick says so

Where are my Anita Bryant records anyway?
sing along everyone

sings my soul my savior god to me...
How great thou art...How great thou art.....


Who is art anyway?

19. Fuck Anita Bryant! Who the hell is she?
Why is everyone making fun of this comic? His point is that Satan is behind Christian rock. I think he's right on target.

20. New Orleans is an island?
thus, "the voodoo of the islands".



Well, we know they don't believe in science. I guess they don't believe in geography, either.
