I'm not too fond of Christianity, but I don't have a problem with people believing in it, and I certainly don't think there's anything wrong with liking a song that has those meanings or messages in it even if you don't believe. I myself am rather fond of the song, "Dear God" by Avenged Sevenfold, and there are several of their songs with religious references, but I like those anyway. What does annoy me though, is when I'm listening to one of those songs and get a lecture about how 'God isn't real.' Just because I like the song doesn't mean I believe in it, and if I did, those lectures wouldn't change my mind... Of course, I also listen to Eminem all the time, that doesn't mean I believe in killing people and chopping them up. Music's music. It's supposed to be entertainment. Like movies or books. We don't have to believe everything that's in a book or movie we like either; music's no different for me.
