Probably the case of never being a Christian to start with. Just going through the motions.

That came through loud and clear from his comments in the article.

Newsboys have been bringing kids to Christ for years, Satan has to try and stop it.

“I’m sure that’s a reassuring view for you to choose to believe, but the fact remains that science can never hope to answer any of the really important questions in life. They don’t even attempt to address them, because they are outside the reach of the scientific method.”

- I agree. That's what the study of philosophy is for. I'm currently studying the categorical imperative and moral absolutes. Very thought provoking stuff.

“So saying that you base your beliefs on science, while it may sound quite logical and sensible, really just means you have given up on the really weighty intellectual matters and concern yourself only with the fluff.”

- I will confess that I don't find faith based ideologies that revolve around a human sacrifice for eternal life very intellectual, or weighty.
40 years of church, twice on Sundays and Wednesday night bible studies was enough for me to finally put away those childish things.

“World famous?”

Never heard or heard of them. Getting a little arrogant in their obscurity.

He’s been in a boy band for 30 years???

Not surprising. Most of these entertainers are emotionally and developmentally arrested.

Hank Hill was right, “Can’t you see you’re not making Christianity better, you’re just making rock n’ roll worse.”

According to Wiki, GeorgieBoy is not in the band:

“As of 2019, the band consists of lead vocalist Michael Tait (formerly of DC Talk), drummer and percussionist Duncan Phillips, keyboardist and bassist Jeff Frankenstein, and guitarist Jody Davis.”

George Perdikis – guitar (1985–1987) – left the band before their first album, but co-wrote most of the songs
