If you live in Australia, you’d know about news shows like Today Tonight and ACA having stories about the “manipulative” and “cash crazy” and generally bad Hillsong Church. Religious giant that just wants money and will do anything for it. It’s so annoying having that kinda of news on TV…
So what if Hillsong Church is raking in the cash? So what if they are selling a huge number of CDs and hitting Arias charts? So what if 4 contestants in Australian Idol either come from Hillsong Church or are Christian? I think this is good. They’re bringing Christianity to pop culture. The music is good. A lot of us love the songs and buy the CDs. Some of us really prefer some good old Hillsong to the latest pop star who swears every second word in their songs. What’s wrong with that?
Who knows, maybe Today Tonight or ACA are just desperate for a story. Maybe it’s a lot of people who are just skeptical about religion. I don’t care. I’m just saying some Christian artists really earned that Gold Aria. After all, Christian albums usually cost twice the price of a pop album. If we are willing to pay for the music… doesn’t this show that the music is somewhat good?
Whatever. This is just a girl who loves the Hillsong music and needed to rant.
BOOO YOU SUCK!!!!
Bob, could you be a bit more… uh…. eloquent in your response?
Look, Today Tonight & ACA are shit. They suck. Anyone with half a brain knows that. But, also, I have to ask- why do you choose Christian Music over regular? Both have meaning, both have (Sometimes) good singing. Why not listen to the more popular but non-Christian bands? Does it make a difference?
Also, why do Christian albums cost half as much? I’d say they require half as much talent for the same profit, as they are almost certain to get payed by Christians, and have an entirely different market to the other songs.
Am I rambling again? Sorry.
