Guest socalobjectivist Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Before I was a Christian, I started to like country music and then I got really into it when I was a Christian. Now that I'm not a Christian anymore, I still like the stuff, but the referrences to God and Jesus stand out more and more. I feel like they've found a way to sneak in into every song! I thought certain artists were safe (such as Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, and Brad Paisley) but they have at least one Jesus-y song each. Can anyone recommend any country music that isn't so Christian? Is the country artists' version of street-cred church-cred? Anyone else have the same beef?

Ahh! Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Listen to John R. Butler. He'll cheer you up. Here's the lyrics to his song "The Hand of the Almighty": Oh sinner, do no stray From the straight and narrow way For the Lord is surely watching what you do If you approach the Devil's den Turn 'round, don't enter in Lest the hand of The Almighty fall on you He'll fuck you up (He'll fuck you up) Yes, God will fuck you up If you dare to disobey His stern command He'll fuck you up (He'll fuck you up) Don't you know He'll fuck you up So you better do some prayin' while you can Long ago a man named Lot Had a wife he thought was hot But she could not stop her black and sinful ways You know it was her own damn fault When God turned that bitch to salt That's the way He used to work back in those days He fucked 'em up (He'll fuck you up) He really fucked'em up When the people went and turned their backs on Him He can fuck you up (He'll fuck you up) No shit He'll fuck you up Just like He fucked the people up back then I used to have a friend named Ray Who walked that evil way He cursed and drank and broke his neighbor's fence You know Ray was full aware That some sheep were over there And he knew them in the biblical sense God fucked him up (He fucked him up) He went and fucked Ray up Went and paid him back for all his wicked sins He fucked him up (He fucked him up) Fucked that boy completely up Now he's married to a Presbeterian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonHorn Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Dixie Chicks. For those of us living in Houston all the local country radio stations have banned them because of them saying that George Bush made them embarrassed to say they're from Texas. And it's been 4 or 5 years at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Harley Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 they had a point though... you have to be pretty thick skinned, or just plain thick, to say they were 'wrong' about GWB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
