i get in arguments sometimes with the jars of clay/michael w smith crowd about contemporary christian rock and how bad i think it sucks. i'm trying to compile a list of good religious themed songs to counter the christian rock songs what is it exactly? it's like if a band completely devotes their time to religious pop music, i just find it very annoying. is it just me or is that music just generally bad?

i heard the song 'rotten apple' by alice in chains (seems to be religious themed) this morning which is what made me start thinking about this. |

These are not traditional "praise god" songs, in fact they are probably the opposite. Critical of god/religion Morrissey - I have forgiven Jesus Streetlight Manifesto - Forty Days Oh... Joan Osborne - What if God was one of us (it doesn't suck as much as Christian Rock) |
