  • Those kinds of churches very much do not preach acceptance for all people. They’re more into the philosophy “if you’re not with us you’re against us.”

    Here’s a 19th century song that was popular in a very conservative church of Christ where I attended as a teenager:

    Onward Christian soldiers!
    Marching as to war,
    With the cross of Jesus
    Going on before.
    Christ, the royal Master,
    Leads against the foe;
    Forward into battle,
    See, His banners go!

    At the name of Jesus
    Satan’s host doth flee;
    On then, Christian soldiers,
    On to victory!
    Hell’s foundations quiver
    At the shout of praise:
    Brothers, lift your voices,
    Loud your anthems raise!

    Onward, Christian soldiers!
    Marching as to war,
    With the cross of Jesus,
    Going on before.

    There is a long list of people who are unacceptable in the eyes of conservative evangelicals; they label anything they hate or don’t understand as “satanic” and make convenient excuses as to why the Bible agrees with them.



  • There’s a fire starting in your ship
    Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing 'em out the dark
    Finally I can see you crystal clear
    Go 'head and crash land and I’ll strip your saucer bare

    See how I leave with every piece of it
    Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
    There’s a fire starting in my heart
    Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

    The scars and gore remind me of war
    They keep me thinking that we almost lost it all
    The holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can’t help feeling

    We could have had it all
    Terror from the deep
    You had my heart inside of your hand
    And you played it to the beat
