Then how about this Christian musician who just renounced Christ in June 2014?

Perdikis is not the first high-profile Christian rocker to reject Christ. Heavy metal Christian rock star Tim Lambesis last June told the world he's an atheist. Not only that, he told the Alternative Press he figures only 1 in 10 Christian bands he toured with were actually Christians.

"I actually wasn't the first guy in As I Lay Dying to stop being a Christian," Lambesis said. "In fact, I think I was the third. The two who remained kind of stopped talking about it, and then I'm pretty sure they dropped it too. We talked about whether to keep taking money from the 'Christian market.'"


NOTE: From Lambeis' experience in the world of Christian music, he says NOT 1 IN 10 CHRISTIAN MUSICIANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY.

They were just in it for the money, Lambeis says.

What of him? Christians from all walks of life renounce the faith. That's a sad reality. Do you think musicians are somehow immune? A handful of apostates don't discredit any of the others who remain faithful. You can hold up Perdikis and Lambesis and try to use them to broad-brush other Christian musicians, but it just boils down to guilt by association, which is sophistry.
