He's also an idiot. Did you see him on the Celebrity Poker Showdown? Not a smart guy.

I also don't appreciate how he always strikes Christ-like poses in his videos.

So being a moron makes you not a good guy? Umm, ok.

I have seen most of his interviews and I have always gotten the impression he is just a spiritual guy and doesn't want to fall into the stereotype of the industry. He is tagged as some elitist because of it.

What "Christ-like pose"? The one where he spreads his arms, closes his eyes and leans his head back? I take that as accepting and acknowledging God.... But what do I know.

[smith288]

He Christ-like poses could be him "accepting and acknowledging god" or, they could be the more likely case of another rock singer with a Christ complex.

Your blatant despise of the guy doesnt make me wonder which you think it is... If you come to this conclusion based on a poker show then I guess I have no reason to debate irrationality.

[smith288]

The guy went all-in OUT OF TURN!! What a fool.

Then im an absolute moron too because I hate cards and dont know any games except War and Solitaire.

My brother doesnt like his music either and he is an evangelical like me. We just have different tastes.

What example can you give me that shows he used Christ for self-serving purposes? Its known Creed was given a label as "Christian Rock" even though Stapp and his fellow bandmates tried as much as they could to claim not...

[smith288]

They didn't want to be labeled Christian Rock because they knew that main stream America doesn't generally buy a lot of Christian Rock. So they wanted to sell albums, and they wanted to talk about Christ, sing about Christ and invoke Christ whenever they could, and then deny being a Christian rock band!!

You make no sense, give me a break. Irrational indeed.

[smith288]

U make as much sense as Kerry did on explaining his Iraq positions...

First Stapp supposedly uses Christ for self-serving purposes by singing about him (which a millions people already do right now), you then say he got accused of being a Chrisitan so he said he wasnt a Christian band genre. Its hardly a way to "cash in" for the evengelicals in my opinion...but ok.

Basically, you think he uses Christianity to make money but denies Christianity when they label him that way? Stapp only said he wasnt a Christian band in the sense his only subjects are about salvation and the Bible. He claims his songs are about his personal feelings and spiritial beliefs and for whoever to take what they want from it.

You are judgemental and painting him using a broad brush. You are no longer a rational person to debate about this. You have made your mind up that anyone who sings about God but doesnt claim to be a Christian band is just cashing in on God...

[smith288]

Then whats your genious reason behind POD and its popularity with the mainstream (that might reflect positively) kids? POD is a band with a Christian message but was careful not to get labeled as one so they could send their message further than those who have heard and understand the message.

Jesus taught to preach to those not in the choir (in not so many words).... Are you saying Stapp is less of a person if he is trying to accomplish this very instruction without being pigeon holed into a genre only preaching to the choir? Or do you really just have a personality issue with the guy thus you slander him?

Just so you know, I am a Christian and I listen to Christian music. But not phonies like STapp.

Well la-dee-daaa...arent you just the be-all, end-all of Christians in the music industry...

[smith288]

I've always thought you Evangelicals were a little wacky.

There a good debate tactic, smear the person rather than discuss the issue...

Did Jesus teach us to preach to those not in the choir by LYING!!!

Lying about what? Saying you arent a "Christian" band (genre wise)?

Stick to poker.

[smith288]

Not a debate tactic, I just think you freaks are a little wacky is all. Just a thought, an aside if you will.

I guess being an absolute jerk is your right. Enjoy your stay.

[smith288]

Enjoy my stay where exactly? On earth? Are you implying that I'm going to hell?

on FR. Enjoy it.
