And teaching your kids about the evils of...

The Liberal Media

Bill Clinton

Abortion

The Theory of Evolution

Separation of Church and State


And the goodness of...

6. These people are no better than the drug pushers.
These so-called Christian rock groups are no better than the drug pushers or the tobacco industry, pushing their toxic religion on vulnerable young people who don't have the sophistication to question or challenge what is pushed at them.

They push a toxic religion in which people better accept Jesus Christ, or else they will be sent to hell for all eternity by a God with a character like that of Adolf Hitler.

And the Bible is God's absolute truth, which dare not be questioned or challenged.

And of course the usual right-wing good and wonderful things and bad and evil things.

A gross and unconscionable misuse and misapplication of taxpayer money, to say the least.

7. Reminds me of the South Park where Cartman forms a Christian rock band
"You don't know anything about Christianity, fat ass"
"I know enough to exploit it!"
