Most of us wouldn't call it unChristian, but his mom and dad might, being extreme fundamentalists. After all, Chris is up there on stage (Heavens forbid!) dancing...sort of. And staying in a hotel that has a bar. And being in close proximity to loose women (Paula and Antonella.)

OK, at least I see where you're coming from. I think Chris also posted being a rock musician and a Christian are not diameterically opposed, or some such philosophy. (Which, when you think about it, is a hilarious comment to make.) I don't think Chris is neccessarily arrogant more than confident in his craft. He's a good singer and song writer. I see him as actually pretty witty and sometimes a quick wit can get you in trouble and have people thinking you're arrogant because they don't understand your humor. I do notice he is not very good "live" infront of a camera and does not have a good sence about stage presence...but that will come with time.

There is only one thing that qualifies one as Christian after that, the struggle.

All true. Sometimes people don't "get" off-the-wall humor. I know, from being derided here on FR for nutty humor.

I'm willing to give Chris the benefit of the doubt. He can be both Christian, and a damn good singer and songwriter. He's got to unload a lot of baggage first.

I know from which I speak, with grandkids raised in this ultra-conservative "Christian" stuff. TG, as they mature, they break with the extreme stuff.

These grandkids, when they came to visit (as little ones) would tell my wife ahe was going to "eternal hellfire" for wearing bluejeans. We lived on a farm, fer Gosh sakes!!!

I can really empathize with Chris and his struggle to break away.
