He wrote on his application that he can't work Sunday because "Sundays are for the Lord." He sounds like either someone extremely irony poisoned or like a homeschool Christian kid.

Not only will he have to work with me. This is a job that will make him question the existence of a benevolent God. :agony-immense:

    I just checked out avantasia, the Christian rock im talking about isn't nearly as theatrical or fun as that. I do still have a soft soft spot for switchfoot though

        Meant to live absolutely rips.

        I went back to listen to skillet and p.o.d and didn't find much worthwhile. The street fight podcast guys have a podcast about rap-rock called the p.o.d-cast that's pretty cool if you have any nostalgia for the genre. P.o.d mostly sucks but the song boom still holds up.

      Looking at it more closely, I assumed they were Christians because of the imagery and the scenario of their metal opera (where a christian 17th century inquisitor discovers his sister is a "witch" and then meets a druid that introduces him to an alternate world of spirituality), but in fact it appears they are not; the creator, Tobias Sammet, apparently said in an interview he doesn't consider himself one and just really digs the Christian imagery. Here's a full description of the scenario for part 1. One of my favourite is The Seven Angels.

        Yeah thats the sense I get. Most Christian bands wouldn't be cool with a song about meeting a chill witch haha
