Do you guys listen to? Any Christian Stations in your cities? I got Air1 near me. It's not great IMO but some of the songs they play are pretty good.

I made a post on another website about the Westboro Baptist Church, and I actually got a comment from a Christian defending them :/ I'm pretty horrified by that.

From Wikipedia: Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is a Baptist church which is known for its hate speech, especially against LGBT people (homophobia), Catholics (anti-Catholicism), Muslims (Islamophobia), Jews (religious antisemitism), American soldiers and politicians. The church is widely known as a hate group and is monitored as such by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The church has been involved in actions against gay people since at least 1991, when it sought a crackdown on homosexual activity at Gage Park six blocks northwest of the church. In addition to conducting anti-gay protests at military funerals, the organization pickets celebrity funerals and public events. Protests have also been held against Jews and Catholics, and some protests have included WBC members stomping on the American flag and/or flying the flag upside down on a flagpole. The church also has made statements such as, "thank God for dead soldiers," "God blew up the troops," "thank God for 9/11," and "God hates America." They are absolutely horrific and hateful, and their "message" is completely foreign to that of Christ. "Baptist" and "Church" are misleading parts of their name, because they are neither.

Suggestions for bands! VERIDIA, Thousand Foot Krutch, We As Human [disbanded], As We Ascend [contains former WAS members], Britt Nicole, Capital Kings, Royal Tailor, Superchick [im pretty sure they're disbanded], Hillsong Young & Free, Lecrae, NF, Switchfoot, Relient K, The Afters, Fireflight, Lacey Sturm, Family Force 5, Anberlin (at this point, I'm just listing artists I know of). Also, anyone playing Rock the Universe and Night of Joy. Lights Go Down - idk if they're going with the Christian label, but former Hawk Nelson frontman Jason Dunn is the singer
And a note on POD: Their song "I Am" is controversial because they use a scratched out f-bomb in it ^^
Movie suggestions! Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants. Also Grace Unplugged.

I just started college for the first this week and I'm doing what I can to adjust. I kind of miss my family since I live in the dorms and it's only realistic to visit them on holidays, but hopefully it'll be enough. So just lots of doing new stuff and some homework.
And pfft, don't tell me you did nothing, even if it wasn't much.

Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants That's a bit odd that they put an f-bomb in their Christian song. The version I looked up didn't even have it censored. The explanation I found is that "they wanted to use language kids are familiar with", but I don't think that justifies it. Ah well, I'll add all those bands.

Shoot, my edit didn't go through in time to add another movie.
Yeah, there's versions of it with the actual word. The word makes sense in the context and POV of the song, but as for its usage... That's why the song is controversial.

Yeah, I can see how it definitely fits and isn't just thrown in there in an attempt to be "cool" and "connect with the youth" or whatever, but yeah it still seems a bit odd.

Definitely don't agree with the f-bomb thing. Heard about it a while ago on a Christian forum. Personally, I don't think cursing is bad... within the appropriate setting and context. But a song meant to witness? Absolutely not appropriate. Reads like a painful attempt to be edgy; just comes off as immature and repelling.
The line it's in sounds extremely disrespectful, too.
