Nevertheless, your post made me laugh. In absolutely everything in life there will be those who take it to an unhealthy extreme. Even here at FreeRepublic. Regardless of his upbringing, Chris is on the shy side of 30 and definitely is not married to an ultra-conservative woman. I doubt he's shocked by much.
My take on his obvious discomfort on stage is that he's just not used to it and may be self-conscious because of his weight, which we know a bit about because of his blog. When he's singing, he actually looks quite comfortable, though.
P.S. My early childhood was spent in a church that taught you would go to hell if you wore lipstick, women wore pants, or owned a TV. I know a bit about that world myself, but outgrew it when I began going to a church that taught the Bible and only the Bible and the pastor didn't add his own misinterpretations as equivalent to the Word of God.
BTW, I checked out Chris's blog but didn't see the actual name of the church that his dad pastors in Germany. Can you send me the link to that info?
Chris has a band so he's probably used to the stage. If he's uncomfortable with anything it may be the whole "American Idol" thing. It certainly doesn't fit in with his particular style. This was true for both Chris Daughtry & Taylor Hicks. I think some people enter more to be seen & hopefully have something good come out of it. Not necessarily to actually win. If that makes sense. I think that may be the case with Sligh. I don't really see arrogance with him but just a confidence that he knows what he's doing, knows what works for him. Real musicians are like that. God love them.
Chuck Sligh, a talented guitar player and singer who passed on his love of music to his sons, is now pastor at the Grace Baptist Church just outside Grafenwöhr’s Gate 1, and works as a field representative at Central Texas College on-post at Vilseck.
Here's all you ever wanted to know about Chris Sligh and his family, from the perspective of an Independent Bible Baptist site:

Poor Chris! This is what he has to contend with from members of his own church.
Talk about "friendly fire".
