For me personally, as a Christian, I don't even like some of the stuff that Christian artists come out with. I'm a guitarist, and if I hear an awesome riff, or if the guitarist shreds pretty well, I'll generally listen to it. I just don't hear a lot of that in the stuff put out on Christian Radio stations, usually it sounds too much like Kumbaya for me to get in to it. Bands like Thousand Foot Krutch, P.O.D., etc. with some pretty hard licks that I like, I listen to. On the other side of the coin, I listen to some Slipknot because I absolutely love the way they utilise the guitar, but I can't stand their singing style so I don't listen to it a whole lot. Marilyn Manson, while I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff, he puts out a lot of good stuff music-wise. This is why I've shied away from organized "church" and just read the Bible, mainly New Testament, but I come back to Proverbs a lot, because if I ever admitted that I like stuff that Marilyn Manson puts out, I'd be a pariah, I'd been seen as the guy who isn't really a Christian, which isn't true. Is there hipocrisy in the church, yeah, is there hypocrisy everywhere, yeah, hypocrisy isn't something that's Christian-specific, it's human-specific.
