if by christian music you mean palestrina, for example, it is quite lovely...a whole range of it, through messaien. i even like some arvo part.
all of this is music that reaches for something that it can not quite grasp--yes.
if you mean music on the order of creed: it is a joke, musically and conceptually.
i would rather listen to black metal. or psychic tv. neither of which i go particularly out of my way to hear. but at least there is something going on through the music, a kind of blast from somewhere else.
