hmmm I'm a born and raised pentecostal(well i try to be) and i think i rather listen to music without swearing and other unapproriate lyrics. Like music with just BEAT Trance music if you will or even techno .

-MAvo

I'm a Christian... it's a matter of testimony as to how I choose what music I listen to. I used to listen to hip-hop, but don't really any more. It's not that I made a decision to not listen to it, but more that the particular genre as a whole isn't what I want my mind focusing on.

Trance is entirely different... I love it. I've been listening to it nonstop since I discovered it roughly 3 years ago. I've gotten most of my Christian friends listening to it alot as well... whether vocal or non-vocal, I don't see a single thing wrong with it. It doesn't scar my testimony, and it's enjoyeable for everyone.

In my opinion the messages are clean, and purely entertaining. The beat is driving and emotional... I consider trance the perfect music.

But let's not turn this thread into another one of those political ones...

i was baptised, but that doesn't make me christian.

it's like taking a shower, only it's in another building.

I'm christian and i listen to techno

we're normal people like you, not people who are obsessed with religion 24/7 and won't listen to techno cause it's 'the devil's music'

now you're saying I'm not normal??
I listen to techno and I don't think its the devil's music. Heck, Country & Western promotes bad morales and poor lifestyles just like any other media type... what are you sayin?

All I was saying was this:
If you claim to be a Christian... then talk the talk, and walk the walk...that means,btw, as CHRIST did. YES...it was Jesus who walked on the water (He even encouraged his disciple Peter to meet him on the waves).

Ken makes great points...I totally hear that and can relate with you! Great post dude!

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but he said exactly the opposite.

I dont see the correlation between religion and personal tastes in music. Thats like saying all Taliban want to hijack aeroplanes... oh, wait...










Seriously though, I dont think the two have any significance with respect to each other.

Interesting theory though ... guess it's cause I am not religious anymore ... but I dont really like very hard techno and rave ... too hard for me
