I think preachy is when people are like "repent or rot in hell!! you devil spawns" THATS what i call preachy. Singing about one's faith shouldnt be something to worry about.

It seems like people are cool with 'jesus is a hoax', or other negative lyrics. But when it comes to the positive, people always flip out! I know this because im in a christian band.

Marlyn Manson gets air play all the time, but when P.O.D. comes on the DJ is always like 'Heres a new song from that christian band' and i think thats wrong. On the subject of Creed, it does suck how they try to hide the christian lyrics now that they are mainstream. The whole Are They, Arent They is BOGUS!

Isnt the whole point of music, to make one feel better? then why is it a big deal when mainstream sing about being christian? But on the same page when some one comes out with a song saying God is nothing, people eat it up, and act as if its totaly normal? it pisses me off really!

John has had some touching songs in every era of his career. I see no harm in singing about his beliefs, even if it IS preachy (not syaing it is, John aint like that)

Personaly, i cant wait!
