hmmm, should the government tax anything that is bad for you? a Big Mac? a chocolate cake?

Great video. It's such a simple, positive message yet so effective.

My point is not that these songs teach theology but they get people of all persuasions to at least think about God and isn't that half the battle.

I'd agree that the left can be worse than the right, but it doesn't justify the right's bad behavior. Some of that "holier than thou" attitude puts off other christians as well.

It's not all about budget, budget, budget. Look at Waterworld. It cost a boat load of money but sucked. On the other hand, look at the Evil Dead series, low budget but wonderful movies.

I would agree with you 100%. I enjoy and think pop songs that mention God,etc... are generally better and more effective. Songs like Heaven(Los Lonely Boys), Heaven(Live), River of Dreams (Billy Joel), Everything falls Apart (dog's Eye View), I think god can Explain (Splendor), Jamming (Bob Marley), and even Only God Knows Why (Kid Rock).

When you say "Did they abandon Hollywood, or the Hollywood lifestyle?", I wonder if the conflict came more from the holier than thou attitude so prevalent in today's evangelical community as well as the in your face evangelism?

You are correct. A dose a critical thinking would help all of us. To often we (more so liberals) think with emotions.
